exchange server named property reached limit
I'm having trouble randomly on my exchange 2003 server. Sometimes, emails stop coming in, it doesn't happen often, maybe once a day or a week. But this shows me something is wrong.
I looked at Application event log, there are multiple same error events;
Failed to create a new named property for database "First Storage Group\Mailbox Store (EXSRV)" because the number of named properties reached the quota limit (8192).
User attempting to create the named property: "SYSTEM"
Named property GUID: 00020386-0000-0000-c000-00
Named property name/id: "Betylinery"

Named property GUID: 00020386-0000-0000-c000-00
Named property name/id: "Jerperlin" '
....
As I guess, the named property is the header information, don't know why incoming emails try to create something like that, maybe my GFI spam filters process the header to exchange server before it's sorted out as spams, which is problem.
Again, I am not sure this is the cause of the problem which makes my server stop working for 10-15 minutes. But this has to be taken care of. How can I block spams not to insert named properties to my server anymore?
Also, does this affect the server and make the server stop working?
