Hey all,

A common problem in our environment is that exchange delivery queue is stuck because it's full.

We can temporary resolve this issue simply by expanding the drive which the queue on (luckily it's simple)

Do you can tell what generally cause this issue? how do you recommend to act to resolve this issue forever?.

tnx

Answer 1

Delivery queues are dynamically created when they're required, and are automatically deleted when the queue is empty and the expiration time has passed. The queue expiration time is controlled by the QueueMaxIdleTime parameter on the Set-TransportService cmdlet. The default value is three minutes.
Did you manually change that value?
Open Queue viewer and find those delivery queues, are there any similarity among them? Be free to post a snapshot you see (with personal information covered).
