Default Outlook PST case

Hi all,

Today morning we mapped one the pst files in outlook 2003 and to our
surprise
outlook started generating mails from nowhere into thousands. We tried
this
with same results on 3-4 machines.
Any ideas as to what might be happening ?

Thanks.

Might there be a virus in one of the mail items in that PST file?

Do you mean you opened the PST? How exactly did you do this.

and to our surprise

What do you mean by "generated"? Do you mean thousands showed up in the new
PST, that thousands began downloading from somewhere, or that Outlook began
sending thousands? Please be precise.

Sorry if i was not precise.
Well, what i meant was - as soon as we mapped the .pst file in outlook
2003, it started showing up lot mails in inbox folder. It kept on
generating it till we killed the process.
We did scan for any viruses but file was show as clean.

Thanks.

Odd... have you tried running ScanPST.EXE on this PST file to see if it's
damaged in any way?
