Kevin,
No.
This is also mostly unnecessary if you put your spool on a separate partition, log everything to the spool partition, and move the logs off of that partition on a daily basis. The logs are what get terribly fragmented, essentially everything from IMail, Declude and Sniffer due to the way that things are logged. The only other thing that tends to get noticeably fragmented are your IMail accounts, which should also be on a separate partition in order to isolate the effects. This won't be an issue hardly at all however if most of your customers use POP3 to retrieve their E-mail and delete it from the server because every time a file is modified in this way, it is rewritten, thus the fragments are removed (appending to a file causes fragments).

We just installed new hardware for our Imail server. We want to start defragging on a regular basis. My question is should I stop qmanager and SMTP before doing the defrag of the user mbx and spool disks???
