Folks, from all walks of life, always rely on email to get things done. The first thing you need to monitor would be, the critical processes,services and counters. The counters monitor your performance. Counters are not used for the exchange, which is why it is the most important thing to monitor.
You also need to monitor the critical counters. Plus,a few other things during the exchange. Like, the average number of all active sync requests. This allows you to make sure that all of your mobile devices, remain in sync with your exchange server.
An LDAP search, monitors active directory issues, and searches time out per minute. Which could definitely impact the exchange.
Keep an eagle eye, on the available virtual memory. The available virtual memory, will let you know when you are running out of available virtual memory. This could cause a lot of problems, which could shut down the exchange server. Running out of disk space can cost you dearly and cause a host of other problems. So monitoring your free disk space is very crucial. So keep that eagle eye on it.
Now your MS Exchange email server works, by sending and receiving emails. The starting point is your own computer, which is your sender work station. So once you press that send button, this is where the message is coming from. All email messages goes through the SMTP server.
If you and your third party has the same email domain, then there is no need to search for another server. In that case, there would be no need to contact another SMTP server. This is what you call, local delivery. It's like taking someone's mail and walking down stairs to give it to them. SMTP means, simple mail transfer protocol. The protocol is standard, so every single email around the world is delivered this way.
The next thing the server will do, is check to see if the email is some bad HAM meaning, SPAM or not. And, if your IP address is bad your email message will definitely be rejected. Then your server will check your messages. These are artificial intelligent filters, that are trained to recognize any SPAM in your messages.
Now our ISP has lots of filters, just to be able to accept our emails, and don't immediately throw away ninety percent of all emails. And, this is how your email server works.
