Script to kill the SMTP service when the folders in mailroot reaches to a certain number


Hi All,

Today I am going to give you a script . When the folders of SMTP service like pickup, badmail, Drop and queue becomes full or reaches to some number the below script will kill the SMTP process and will again start the process.  and a output log file will be created when the process is killed.

Modify the below script as per you environment.



@echo off
set /a c=1
for /f %%i in ('dir C:\inetpub\mailroot\Pickup  ^| findstr /i /c:"file(s)"') do set count=%%i
if %count% gtr 10 ( 
    for /f "tokens=2 delims= " %%P IN ('tasklist /FO Table /M "SMTPSVC*" /NH ') DO (TASKKILL /F /PID %%P)
    net start smtpsvc
echo %date%      %time%       %count% - Pickup Folder has reached the limit >>"C:\smtp.log" 
    )
endlocal
for /f %%i in ('dir C:\Inetpub\mailroot\Queue ^| findstr /i /c:"file(s)"') do set count=%%i
echo count=%count%
if %count% gtr 10  ( 
    for /f "tokens=2 delims= " %%P IN ('tasklist /FO Table /M "SMTPSVC*" /NH ') DO (TASKKILL /F /PID %%P)
    net start smtpsvc
echo %date%      %time%        %count% - Queue folder has reached the limit >>"C:\smtp.log"
    )
endlocal
for /f %%i in ('dir C:\Inetpub\mailroot\Drop ^| findstr /i /c:"file(s)"') do set count=%%i
echo count=%count%
if %count% gtr 10  ( 
    for /f "tokens=2 delims= " %%P IN ('tasklist /FO Table /M "SMTPSVC*" /NH ') DO (TASKKILL /F /PID %%P)
    net start smtpsvc
echo %date%      %time%        %count% - Drop folder has reached the limit >>"C:\smtp.log"
    )
endlocal
for /f %%i in ('dir C:\Inetpub\mailroot\Badmail ^| findstr /i /c:"file(s)"') do set count=%%i
echo count=%count%
if %count% gtr 10  ( 
    for /f "tokens=2 delims= " %%P IN ('tasklist /FO Table /M "SMTPSVC*" /NH ') DO (TASKKILL /F /PID %%P)
    net start smtpsvc
echo %date%      %time%        %count% - Badmail folder has reached the limit >>"C:\smtp.log"
    )
endlocal

Note:
In the below line change the value of 10 to any number you want.
""if %count% gtr 10 ""
when the files reaches to 10 the SMTP process will be killed and a output will be written in a file names SMTP.log

System Volume Information is taking more space

On one of the servers (running Windows Server 2012 R2) I faced a problem with the lack of free space on a system drive.

At last, I have found that a large part of a system disk has been occupied by  System Volume Information  folder. Let’s consider why we need System Volume Information folder in Windows systems, what is stored in it and how to clean up it. Note . The instructions given in this article are applicable to other Windows versions as well:   Windows 10, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 2008 R2, Windows 2012 / 2012 R2. System Volume Information  folder is in the root of each disk. System data related to system recovery and Shadow Copy Service are stored in it.
