Anytime she tries this, the attachment dialog box will just sit there for about 3 minutes and then change to the Page cannot be displayed page. Any file under 200KB works fine. I tried my personal web mail account (non OWA) on the same system, using IE6 and I was able to attach and send the file. It is only happening to her PC.

I can see when they try their password attempts and they are using basic Microsoft Authentication. However the Event Viewer only gives me the workstation name (and the domain/work group name which is the same as the workstation name). Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I could pin down an IP address.

RE: Anonymous messages in the outbound queue
I think you defining what is occurring as a 'relay' isn't correct. If I am reading this right it seems to me that someone is spoofing spam mail to an email that doesn't exist on your server. So then your server is trying to respond with an NDR, but due to the part that the senders mail address is spoofed it is sending to the spoofed address, thus more spam. If that is the case your aren't being used as a relay you are just facing the same issue that we all are because of the ease of spoofing SMTP mail message originating e-mail addresses. If there was a way that we could set up our Exchange to tell the difference between spoofed messages and non-spoofed ones then we could all avoid this problem. After all, I can't tell you how many users I have that are getting NDRs for messages that they never sent (Kletz just hit someone they new).

Gary -Original Message- From: Elizabeth Farrell [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, June 06, 2002 16:41 To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: stupid disclaimers http://www.emaildisclaimers.com/ There are several reasons why you might decide to add disclaimers to your e-mails. The reasons can be categorized into two groups: legal and marketing reasons. 1. Legal reasons If you were to be so unlucky to be sued for the contents of an e-mail, it is not certain whether an email disclaimer will protect you from liability in a court of law. However, it will certainly help your case and in some situations might exempt you from liability. More importantly, it may well prevent the actual occurrence of lawsuits against your company since the mere presence of the statement might deter most persons from seeking legal compensation from your company. Therefore the use of disclaimers is always recommended. There are 6 legal threats that disclaimers can help protect against: Breach of confidentiality: By including a disclaimer that warns that the content of the e-mail is confidential, you can protect your company against the exposure of confidential information. If the receiver breaches this confidentiality, they could be liable. Accidental breach of confidentiality: If an employee were to receive a confidential mail from someone and by accident forward it to the wrong person, the employee, and therefore the company, could be liable. This can easily happen. For instance a wrongly addressed e-mail can be forwarded to a postmaster, who might not be authorized to read the mail. Furthermore, e-mail can easily be intercepted. If you include a statement at the end of your mail that the message is only intended for the addressee, and that if anyone receives the e-mail by mistake they are bound to

RE: stupid disclaimers
I wasn't clear..sorry palm pilot has taken up two days because I cant get it to sync..and I'm way beyond being frustrated bye it.. But to clarify. Adding a disclaimer to an e-mail is like adding a citation to item under copywrite. You show, very plainly, that you understand the sensitivity of the information and because you have to manually enter the e-mail address you show that you are aware of who you send it to. To add to that you can go into contract law and pull out court cases that argue wither online click Ok to agree type of contracts are not legal. You only need to argue that if digital contracts are not always legal, how can you claim that a disclaimer that is placed on the end of an e-mail (and you can argue that as a standard practice that you stop reading the e-mail if you get to one) can some how hold a legal suit against you. They can't, because disclaimer are not law (where being ignorant of law does not protect you from punishment) you cannot legal enter a contract (such as is implied with a disclaimer) without some proof of knowledge of it. So, if you add the disclaimer to your e-mail, you are stating, Yea, I _know_ that this is sensitive stuff but if I send it out no one can use it in anyway or I can sue them. I'm not sure, but I bet a good lawyer could use that type of angle to destroy all legal ramifications that would favor a disclaimer. -Original Message- From: Ed Crowley [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, June 07, 2002 9:47 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: stupid disclaimers I don't understand how this relates to disclaimers one way or another.

We have determined (the hard way) that once per day is not often enough. We now use a perl program to check for new signatures once every hour. 3. Their support sucks. Their first level techs seldom know what they are talking about, and their main objective seems to be to get the call closed as fast as possible. If you persist, you can get answers, if you ask the right questions and it's already been documented. Last week, one of the signature updates went berserk and filled up the hard drives of all workstations and servers in our organization.

If it continues to be ok under load then I will apply it to a production server, after stopping all services manually first (something I learned to do as far back as 4.0). The important part is that I know what to expect when I apply the patch in production and that makes for a smooth transition and minimum downtime.

Here's a good one
I have been reading up on the RestrictAnonymous reg key (trying to tighten my security a bit). I was wondering if anyone here has this setting on their Exchange 2000 box. MS only says that domain trusts (which I don't have any) no longer work with this setting. And Veritas says a few changes must be made in order to complete an System State backup. If anyone knows any others reasons why I shouldn't implement this change, it would be nice to know the problems before I blindly go out and make it.

RE: Email Limits

I have been looking for a setting in Exchange 2k, and I can't seem to find it. I am looking for the setting that limits the number of mail one person can send out to another single mailbox. What I am trying to do: My HR Department posted a job online and have gotten a lot of responses through emails to one mailbox. He is wanting to forward 1/3 of the mail two other mailboxes so he doesn't have to screen all the emails himself. However, when I created a rule in Outlook to forward the mail to the other mailboxes, it is only sending out 20. I want to send out 200 from one mailbox to the other mailbox. Or, if you have another solution that will work for me, I am open for suggestions.

RE: OT...Webmasters?
It depends on what you are currently using. After all, if you guys are using Dream Weaver or FrontPage as a base editor then the courses are going to change. The same if you are using ASP or DHTML or XML as a base right now. Do you do a lot of interactive web pages or is it all just information posted for people to read? Will you have to support something like Share Portal Team Services? What you should take depends a lot on those answers, or answers to those type of questions.
