    Performance Monitor is usefull, check out the "MSExchangeTransport SmtpReceive" and "MSExchangeTransport SmtpSend" performance object.

    Thanks for your reply. I been using these counters but I need to know the IP's from the current SMTP sessions like in Exchange 2003 - Protocols - SMTP - Current Sessions, is there something like that in Exchange 2007??

    If you want to see the IP address of any current SMTP connections, simply use the netstat command and look for connections on port 25 (which will typically be displayed as smtp.

     

     

    Code Block

    C:\>netstat

     

    Active Connections

      Proto  Local Address          Foreign Address      State

      ...    ...                    ...                  ...

      TCP    EXCHANGESERVER:smtp    192.168.1.101:55958  ESTABLISHED

    You can also use the protocol logging and read the textfiles. This is not giving you realtime info though, only old info.

    To add to Jeff's suggestion, you can show only smtp connections:

     

    netstat | find "smtp"

    So no longer can you do it though the exchange system manager as you could in 5.5 2000 and 2003?

     

    Administrative groups / First admin group / servers / *server name* / protocols / smtp / default smtp connector / currant connections

     

     

     

    Seriously?  the removed the ability to monitor and work with your SMTP connector like that?

    to correct / adjust my earlier post:

     

    for windows 2008

    ------------------------------

    netstat -a | "smtp"

    or

    netstat -a | "25"

    That did not work for me. Nor did netstat -a | "smtp"

    C:\Users\admin>netstat -a | "25"
    '"25"' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
    operable program or batch file.

    C:\Users\admin>netstat -a | '25"
    ''25"' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
    operable program or batch file.

    C:\Users\admin>netstat -a | '25'
    ''25'' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
    operable program or batch file.

    C:\Users\admin>netstat -a | find '25'
    FIND: Parameter format not correct

    It really is too bad it is not there! someone asks me "How much traffic do you see coming from [host]?" I have no way to tell anymore. Before I could at least see that the connection was open and had been opened for however long. What an awful loss to not have that feature!

    Another option would be: netstat -a -n | findstr :25
