RE: Exchange 2000 default signature for all email mailboxes
You would use an SMTP Transport Event Sink Here are a couple of articles to point you to: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=317680 http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;317327 Head to MSDN and check out the SMTP transport event sink stuff and go to the Exchange section and get the last SDK. http://snurl.com/1o88 The next SDK is due out any day now, and it may have a better example for you to follow, but still the March one is pretty good. The third party applications are not overly priced. www.exclaimer.com www.disclaimit.com Www.gfi.com That last one has a trial version of their full product, after which, I believe, the disclaimer component is free and continues to function. Almost like a reward for giving them a try. Or finally, deploy a corporate signature for everyone to use in Outlook.

Re: Clustering... is it worth it?
IIRC Active/Active was the initial recommendation under E2k, until some of these MAPI session limits starts cropping up, and with memory fragmentation in ESE. We were in discussions with MS about deploying a large Active/Active cluster during this period, and they changed their tune part-way through the discussions and recommended Active/Passive rather than Active/Active. With all of the redundancy we were building in with the Exchange design anyway (see below), clustering was only going to save us from physical hardware failure of one of the front-end servers, but we pretty much had that covered anyway. As others have said, clustering doesn't protect you from DB corruption. Config for single mailbox server was: Multi-Processor Server ECC Memory Multiple hot-plug power supplies on different physical power curcits, running on building UPS' (optionally local UPS for each power supply as well) Multiple hot-plug fans for cooling RAID'ed disk (obviously), on multiple channels, with hot spares Multiple Physical, Multi-Port NICs using port aggregation over multiple redundant switches. We also had a hot-standby server incase of total-systems failure (move the entire disk array to new server), and hot spares of every major component. We also deployed multiple Exchange servers, so in the case of complete failure of one server, only portions of the organisation were affected. We ensured that members of the same work area were located on physically seperate machines, so if one server did fail, at least one mailbox in each section was still able to send and receive important emails. Multiple incoming and outgoing connector servers provded some measure of protection against a single connector server failure (the fault-tolerance levels of these machines were much lower to save costs). All Public folders were replicated to at least two different servers. Even with clustering, a number of the measures described above were still required, such as building some level of redundancy into the front-end servers, but you now have the added complexity of the redundancy and fault tolerance required for the SAN device. My gripe with clustering is that there is a tendency to try and throw the entire org onto a single cluster (either Active/Active or Active/Passive), but when the cluster itself fails, the entire organisation is off the air. Something that isn't tolerated these days with mission critical mail systems. Exchange has so many built-in redundany and load sharing features, that clustering just introduces unnecessary complexity into the mix, especially in recovery scenarios. That being said, when I have deployed them and got the kinks worked out, they have been pretty solid. 2k3 may be a different kettle of fish.

You have the benefit of quick recovery in event of hardware failure on the server (not likely typically). But, it is really nice for maintenance where you have to apply patches, security updates, virus engine updates, service packs, etc... You can failover in a matter of seconds and you have as much time as you need to work on the server without interrupting users or bouncing email. On an active/active cluster we host 16,000 users, 2500 using Outlook and the rest using OWA 2000. We can have both virtual machines running on one quad-Xeon 700Mhz without users noticing much of a slowdown at all. Exchange 2003 with Windows 2003 runs more efficiently so far in our tests. However, Microsoft is now recommending ACTIVE / PASSIVE so you have a fresh server to failover to. You already have a key component - SAN - so I would cluster in a heartbeat. We haven't had any issues - except for a corrupted db which we attributed to the SAN. 2003 promisses to make clustering better, but we haven't tested that yet. -Original Message- From: William Lefkovics [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Fri 6/27/2003 7:10 PM To: Exchange Discussions Cc: Subject: Re: Clustering... is it worth it?

Weird resolution problem
Good morning, we have an issue where normally the clients at a site point to a domain suffix such as fun.psp.com, we run cnames in the subdomain in DNS. As I understand it since the client is a member of the psp.com domain it will look in psp.com then look in its DNS suffix fun.psp.com. What is happening is that the clients resolve the cname correctly but intermittently one of the dc's will begin resolving the cname incorrectly. When this happens it affects only one site and it gets cached into the dns cache on that DNS server. We have to restart the DNS service and do a ipconfig flushdns. When we get the false name resolution it is always at a different ip address and it currently is only affecting three of our sites. We are using wins forwards and also DNS forwarders, but can not find the name in either of these places. If anyone else has seen this your help would be greatly appreciated Thanks Richard Tracy _ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchangetext_mode=lang=english To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Black List Recommendation
SpamCop has the occasional false entry. My employer's domain got blacklisted by accident (apparently a side-effect of someone else's Klez infection). SpamCop was very good about fixing the problem, though. Just as well, too, because the people who couldn't send us e-mail complained to us, as though it was our problem. The kicker: SpamCop says that their service is experimental, and should not be used in production systems where it's important that legitimate e-mail get through. - Original Message - From: Woodruff, Michael [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Exchange Discussions [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, June 27, 2003 4:16 AM Subject: RE: Black List Recommendation I think Spamcop is a little to aggressive for some.
