Outlook and our disclaimer software mangled this the first time,
hopefully this might make the content a bit more obvious.

You can download a Word document from the Microsoft site on
troubleshooting Exchange 2003 performance issues that includes Suggested
queue counters to monitor -

Based on that document, I've set up the following commands. I'm not
really sure how well they're working (they always return 0 on the quiet
Exchange box I'm using them on so far) so I'd be interested to hear how
you get on.
