Let me correct myself, it's not the only way, but it's
the easiest. Give
yourself rights on the mailbox, log on with Outlook and
change the rights.
Better, teach the users how to do it. You might also be
able to use
PFDAVADMIN to do it.

Add the 2007 PF store as a replica to your 2003 Public
Folder store. You can
do this in 2003 ESM.
You should also be able to use PFDavAdmin for this.
Once you have replicated them succesfully, ensure you
update the public
folder store for your users before removing the 2003
server entirely.

You'll probably need to re-create the RGC via the
Exchange management shell.
Then ensure that you replicate and re-home the PFs onto
the new server.
Also, I don't know what Outlook clients you use, but you
may also need the
free/busy system folder and things like the OAB, etc. If
you google for
'removing first exchange server' or similar, you should
find plenty of
articles on this subject.

Re: Question about POP3 Connector

POP3 is a single mailbox client mail retrieval protocol,
not a mail
transport protocol. Any attempt to use it as a mail
transport protocol is a
great big kludge. Exchange is designed to connect to the
Internet using
SMTP.

Exchange isnt really suited for this unfortunately.
To allow to only send to one domain you would have to
create multiple
SMTP connectors and apply delivery restrictions to the *.
Preventing email getting to the account from the
internet, delviery
restrictions and/or preventing anonymous users ( ie the
Internet ) on
the account.
Internally, very difficult. You would have to apply
delivery
restrictions on all the other accounts preventing that
account from
sending to them.

The send Connector is what you use to send mail, so in
order for all
mail to the internet to be handled by it, you enter *.
Entering domain.local or domain.com scoped it only for
those domains
and if those domains are your domain, then it really wont
work.

You still need to configure each messaging system though,
otherwise they

Andy David is right, in this scenario it's really not

Re: SPAM Handling

To have automatic deletion of Users Junk Mail folder use
Mailbox Manager
Policy. To have the Spam mails sent directly to the users
Junk Mail box is
a good question. I know of third party software like GFI
Mail Essentials can
do this but this is part of their product feature. I
would think the Spam
Filter company would be better served to have the Spam
Mail quarantined on
their servers and the users could login or access their
quarantine through a
web browser. This is typically how I have seen AntiSpam
companies deal with
users Quarantines or Junk Mail. If not, I would also
think they could tell
you how to accomplish this using Exchange and the Users
Junk Mail folder.

Re: Spam Server on Exchange Server?

It is not very normal that a zombie installs itself to
attack the local
server. Zombies today try to hide themselves as much as
possible. Thus they
would normally attack foreign domains.
To begin with start by enabling recipient filtering from
here select to
block emails to invalid recipients.
The NDRs are the result of spam sent to invalid
recipients. See details from
here:
http://www.exchangeinbox.com/articles/020/dirharvest.htm
You can also have a look at the originating IP of the
spam email by looking
at the MIME Received header.

That response is generated by the Exchange IMF anti-spam

Try to disable IMF for a test:

If this is the problem, check your threshold settings

That would be a shortsighted approach to configuration
management. I
can change things in many ways that don't use the ESM and
yet they'll
have the same effect. ADSIEDIT, LDP, VB, VBS, Perl,
(insert any
language that can use ADSI, LDAP, and/or COM),
REGEDIT,
SC, and
on and
on.
Your project sounds more academic than practical.

Settings are stored in the configuration container in
Active Directory.
I wouldn't recommend changing these settings if you're
not 100% sure on what
you're doing. But you can look at them using ADSIEdit.
