As Alexander points out, this is called "spoofing". You can protect

yourself by publishing your list of servers authorized to send email

on behalpf of your domain in SPF format. Then enable SenderID checking

on your inflow server(s). This won't prevent spam, but it will help

you (and others) with the spooing.

This is common spammers trick. Most likely the email is not originating from

your server. The spammer is simply spoofing the sender address.

 

To make sure open the email in outlook and check the MIME headers from View

| Options. Make a close look at the Received headers. These will show you

the IPs of the hosts through which the email flowed.

 

One way to block these emails would be to blacklist your own domain at the

anti-spam software. However you should only do this if you know that no

legitimate email could enter your organization over an anonymous connection

from your domain in this manner.

Do you mean a mailbox store policy? If so, are you sure that the policy is

applied to the store in question? What do you see if you look at the

properties of the user(s) in question? Might they have settings that

override the store policy or store settings?

That would be hard to say without knowing exactly and completely what you

The database never shrinks on its own. If mail was deleted, then you'd have

white space in your mailbox store, but it wouldn't shrink in size.

What MS tech? If you have a support ticket open, then you should pursue a

resolution there becuase you're paying them to do it and they're able to

devote more real-time resources than we possibly can here.

Starbuck,

 

There is no translation as you are referring too as Ed stated in his

previous post. If you add the drharry.com to your Default Recipient Policy

and then apply it, all users will SMTP addresses stamped with @dharry.com.

If you did this properly then go the the Email Address tab of a user in ADUC

and insure the @dharry.com is the Primary SMTP address. In addition, SBS

has Internet and Mail Configuration Wizard that can be accessed through the

Administrator Console that will do this automatically. I would run this

again and make sure the @dharry.com is entered when you get to the email

setup step.

If you want to use Outlook to book resources, such as conference rooms, in

meetings, then you're much better off using mailboxes because Outlook is

designed to work with them as inviteees, whereas it isn't desinged to work

that way with public folders.

I think you're far better off with resource mailboxes. If you do

create a PF and change the permissions on it you won't find the PF

deleted if your account is deleted.

That should be sufficient for Outlook to update its profile. How long after

the move are you waiting? Is it possible that you're having Active

Directory replication delays?

Make sure the "Company" attribute is populated for all recipients, and use

different Email Address Policies for different companies.

 

- You need to have an Accepted Domain for each domain - this tells Exchange

it should receive inbound email for that domain.

- Email Address Policies generate email addresses for recipients. You need

one for each company/set of users.

Not sure of the answer to your qiestion, but if this is the sole reason,

can't you just specify that in the PF properties? Set "anonymous" to "none"

Public Folder replication is probably the same as a mailbox move in

terms of promotion of the message into the edb file from the stm.

(When moving a mailbox, all its properties are promoted to rich format

( i.e. the edb file). So if you had a number of messages sent from the

Internet to the pfs and they were contained in the stm, it makes sense

that they have now been promoted to the edb file on the destination

store.

 

 

Also note that moving items leaves behind the white space in the

source store, so that can explain why its not 11GB anymore.

 

I take it all the folders are now replicated?

That's a good idea, but it would be better to change the applications that

send the mail to use an alias name, such as exchange.company.com, and create

a CNAME entry that points that alias to the hostname of the Exchange server.

You could just add the IP of Server 1 (your retired Exchange 2000 server) to

Then just add the servers that will be relaying to the IP relay allow list

Using Exchange 2003 System Manager, on each top-level folder, change the

replicas to remove the Exchange 2007 server, and then right-click the

folder, select All Tasks, Propagate Settings, and choose to propagate the

replicas. You can also use PFDAVADMIN to do this, or PFMIGRATE, but I don't

think either are any easier for you if you're talking about ending up with a

simple structure.

 

Don't forget to remove the replicas of any of the Exchange 2003 Schedule+

Are you using a Cisco PIX firewall? If so, disable the MailGuard

feature.

 

If you haven't checked the SMTP log file on your server, how do you

know you're failing authentication vs just not authenticating? Do you

see the AUTH command in the server log file?

To the contrary, my post does apply.

 

Most of the addresses you show must have been created manually or by a

script or utility if there aren't corresponding entries in a recipient

policy.

 

The "logon name" is not something you can use for automatic addressing using

recipient policy. The KB article I posted tells you what you can use. You

will need a custom code or utility to create your SMTP addresses, or you'll

have to configure them manually.

Whether you keep those other filters is something you have to judge. Have a

look at what is configured under:

Global Settings | Message Delivery | Sender Filtering

Global Settings | Message Delivery | Recipient Filtering

 

If you disable, these won't be applied any longer. I personally am not a big

fan of Sneder Filtering. However Recipient filtering is quite useful

especially if it is used to block emails addressd to invalid recipients (not

in AD).

 

In IMF you have two thresholds one for the gateway and one for the Junk

Folder. What are the settings for each of these?

Sounds like a problem with the contents of the DL itself. Have her verify

all the addresses are 100% correct and not malformed - it's been my

experience that one malformed address will prevent delivery of the entire

shebang. I'd see whether you can test this yourself with her, to the same

DL.

A recovery server? Or the ability to say "No"?

 

If you keep backups long enough someone's gonna ask you to restore

'em. That might be someone in you company, or it may be a court order.

An address list is not the same thing as a group. You're using the term

"distribution list" but that is so Exchange 5.5. The proper term now is

"distribution group", and membership in a group has absolutely nothing to do

with visibility in address lists. An address list is a listing that shows

up as an address book, like the Global Address List or All Users. A user

can be in a distribution group whether or not it is mail- or

mailbox-enabled, just as any user could be a member of a Windows NT group,

or an Active Directory security group.

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.
