maxing memory

Hi,

I have a small business server and my business requires us to forward
emails to each other a lot which is maxing my server memory.

Is there a way I can delete attachments automatically after a period of
time?


Here's hoping..

Your server's memory will not have a lot of bearing on the size of the
messages you can store. The amount of disk space, however, can be a factor.
With treabyte drives costing US $75, however, data tends to become more
important than hardware.

If the host is a company "business" server, why does it matter what
happens with Outlook. You shouldn't be using a company server as your
personal workstation. You should be using your own workstation host on
which Outlook runs as your personal e-mail client.

If you're asking about disk space needed for your mail server running on
your company's server host then more disk space is needed. Buy more
disks or get a bigger one. Disk hardware is cheap. After all, since
this is a company server host, it also needs to be backed up so you'll
need bigger disks (locally or networked) to accomodate the ever
increasing file space consumption on the server host. Removing
attachments would only be a stopgap solution, anyway. More e-mails are
coming and users will add more files (which are business critical and
must be saved and also backed up) to the server. So plan on increasing
disk space now or figuring out how to incorporate file servers to add
more disk space.
