RE: Outsourcing email?
i can't speak for roger but personally i like knowing that when someone says they've sent us an email and i'm asked if it's arrived that i can look in my maillog and _know_ if it's touched my network server or not and not have to wonder if it's stuck on some third party box because they do our virus/spam filtering and happen to have a bit of a backlog. ditto outgoing mail.. if it's left my server it's left my company.. no need to worry if it's queued on some third parties server. i wouldn't say i'm a control freak, i just like to be able to know what's happening rather than make assumptions about what's happening somewhere beyond my control. regards, Paul -- Paul Hutchings Network Administrator, MIRA Ltd.

RE: Off-topic changing SMTP port on Exchange for spam filtering.
It does work, we've used it for a year or so. I've not used the bayes filtering but the rest is very flexible, also it's written by a small company (I suspect it's one guy) and I've found him really quick with replies to questions, and very amenable to adding sensible features to later versions.

One of the requirements is that we change the smtp port for Exchange on the IMC's to use 24 since XWall will use port 25 and get the messages first. I guess my questions are: For users using POP or custom applications that are using the Exchange IMC as their relay host, how will changing the ports affect them?

RE: SPAM filtering on a budget
I'll also chime in and suggest spamassassin, I've used both this and Xwall and they are both excellent products. I should stress that I haven't used its bayes functionallity, but Xwall is a very nice product for the money, in fact I still use it as a gateway between our LAN and our DMZ, but I stopped using it for spam filtering as I found keywords and RBLs to be a little too black and white (though to stress again, I've not really tried its bayes filtering). I currently use spamassassin, and I don't think I can over-emphasize just how good it is considering the cost. Granted it takes a little time to setup, but I'd suggest that once you've downloaded some ISOs (I used Redhat, mostly because it's one of the best supported/documented linuxes) it shouldn't take more than a few hours to setup a simply postfix install, then take a look at http://advosys.ca/papers/printable/postfix-filtering.html for a way of plugging spamassassin into things. Just give it a try, I also fall into the don't know much about linux category, but I found it simple enough to pick up the info I needed, and because it's linux there's a ton of free useful info on the web...

RE: Help! Mail Queue is all blocked up...
Since Xwall has no knowledge of the users on the system, it accepts ALL stinking e-mail messages, and then forwards them to the Exchange box. Since spammers use blind name lists, attempting to get lucky, and hit all the possible [EMAIL PROTECTED], the Exchange Server wants to send NDR reports to EACH and EVERY piece of Spam mail that comes into the system. You could try ORF from www.vamsoft.com - I've not used it but apparently it hooks into Active Directory/LDAP at the RCPT TO to validate the recipient. Another option, though not MS would be a linux/bsd MTA such as postfix, I use this with an hourly export of the GAL and we reject around 7000 pieces of mail a week to random/old addresses. regards, Paul _ 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]

That's the most comprehensive one I know of, you could also try www.openrbl.org. I think it's important to understand how the various lists work - if you're on one because your IP has sent spam then you can probably do something about it, however there are lists that have our company listed purely because our netblock is known to be assigned to the UK. Basically don't assume your mail is being refused because of something you/your IP address has done. regards, Paul -- Paul Hutchings Network Administrator, MIRA Ltd.

Subject: SSL encryption before login to OWA
I'm sure this is an easy fix but I cant figure out how to fix
it. I setup OWA to use SSL. My problem is that when a user
first connects and it prompts for the user to sign in It is
not encrypted. After loging in the once ith then prompts to
sign in for a second time and at that point It encrypts the
connection. Any Ideas would help.

Well, I'm no expert but doing a netstat only shows a session active on
https, nothing at all on http, so I'd guess it's just the way IE shows
things..

Schedule backup/copy of single public folder
Exchange 5.5sp4 running on Windows 2000 SP3, 180 day deleted item retention enabled on public and private stores. We have a public folder with around 2000 contacts in it. Recently the people who look after those contacts have been making a lot of changes, and a couple of times have managed to stuff up the contents of the folder (losing all the assigned categories). I can't watch them whilst they work (and wouldn't want to) and whilst I suspect it's been down to finger trouble I look after the mail servers so if they need the contents back as they were it comes my way. There's been nothing in the dumpster, I'm assuming changing a contact doesn't count as a deletion of the original in the way moving it would? I don't do bricks level backups, only online backups using ntbackup, and it's a PITA to restore the databases to a recover server as there's about 50gb in all to deal with. One thought was to set something up that every X hours simply copies the contents of the folder to a backup folder which is read-only to all but the service account (or whatever the copy job would run under). I'm unsure what, if any options there may be to acheive this automagically - appreciate any thoughts (guillotining their fingers isn't an option). regards, Paul _ 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]
Recovering 5.5 pub.edb from online backup done with Windows 2000 ntbackup
I'm hitting the MSKB as I speak, but I wondered if there's a quick 'n' dirty answer to this. Long story short I need to get pub.edb back from last nights backup, someones outlook crashed doing a move of a load of contacts, the contacts appear to have mysteriously lost all their category assignments. I have a verified online backup from last night done using ntbackup, what I would like to do is to do an offline restore (for lack of a better word) so that I have the pub.edb file, I'll then look at building a box with Exchange 5.5 on it and recovering the .edb file to it. It seems ntbackup will only let me restore the entire IS (50-odd gb vs 2gb for just the public store), and only to the original location, I'm pretty happy once I have the .edb file that I can bring it up on a recovery box. I'll admit to having been caught somewhat one the hop here, I've read the disaster whitepapers but they appear to assume you want to recover the lot, onto the original box (which is the scenario I'd taken into account). regards, Paul -- Paul Hutchings Network Administrator, MIRA Ltd.

Re: Recovering 5.5 pub.edb from online backup done with Windows 2000 ntbackup
Ed, I have online backups done nightly using ntbackup on Windows 2000, the online backup is done to a dedicated disk, the file on disk is then streamed to tape later on when the normal filesever backups are done. Problem I'm seeing is that when you load the online backup file into ntbackup it simply recognizes Directory and Information Store objects, you don't appear to be able to select which store you want to restore, unless I'm misinterpreting something. regards, Paul - Original Message - From: Ed Crowley [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Exchange Discussions [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, September 18, 2003 9:43 PM Subject: Re: Recovering 5.5 pub.edb from online backup done with Windows 2000 ntbackup You don't have an online backup?

Re: OT - Shavlik HFNetchkPro, anyone use it?
I did notice it to be a little laggy sometimes, I get the impression it is doing stuff, it's just not overly informative in telling you what it's doing. Basically I'm looking for a way of handling patch management, whilst we weren't affected the recent bugs/worms have really hit home that we need some way to handle this across 300 or so workstations (we still have 95 machines on site but I figure those are beyond redemption!) and whilst I admit I've not yet tried it I belive SUS may be a little restrictive (too all or nothing/everthing or none). If we did go for it it would initially be to manage around 25 servers with a view to expanding to cover more machines if it works out. It would probably live on a decent specced server, or my machine - nice excuse for a Dell Dual Xeon workstation :-0 The reason I was drawn to it is a few factors - no agents, the pricing, which does seem attractive, plus Shavlik seem very cosy with Microsoft - I figure if they're working together and MS licence their technology there's quite an incentive for Shavlik to do a decent job?

Try http://www.advosys.ca/papers/printable/postfix-filtering.html for a walkthru, it's what I followed some months back on a Redhat 8.0 box and it works a charm as a primary MX - I really can't overstate just how good it all is (spamassassin in particular) for free.

Re: Port 25 failing on IMC due to SOBIG.
Either, we run it on our proxy, but I guess some places don't have multiple boxes so you can also run it on the exchange box on port 25 and have the IMS listen on port 24. I'm assuming it'd handle the load, we're a pretty small outfit in the grand scheme of things but it works fine for us, and from what the author's told me some pretty big places are using it.

Re: Anti-Spam and Anti-Virus Software for Exchange
I am not sure what kind of Antivirus and Antispam software to purchase and where to put it. As I understand it, Computer Assoc. does not sell a product that will scan just the IMC. Trend has a product called Interscan Messaging Security Suite that will scan the IMC box as mail comes and goes through it. Trend's ScanMail for Exchange scans the IS which is good but do I really need it if I am scanning on the second Exchange server IMC? Personally I like Trend stuff, it tends to just work, and work very well IMHO. I'd look at Scanmail as it will scan everything, inbound/outbound, internal, external and can be used on as many Exchange servers as you like so long as your licence covers the relevent number of users. Anti spam is a little trickier as it depends on your budget and a few other things. If you have an old machine spare I'd really suggest spending a short while investigating Spamassassin - downside is it's a *nix product so you need to get your head around more things, but for the price (totally free except for the time and a box to run it on) you will not do better. I'd also suggest a look at Xwall from www.dataenter.at, cheap and works well IME - I don't have any experience of the really expensive products, but I'd suggest spamassassin is as good as any of them if you have the time to spare. regards, Paul _ 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: ScanMail missing tricks?
Sometimes users get sent legitimate executables, they get blocked because of the extention, so I have to copy it to a share for them to retrieve it - I'm then reliant on the AV on my desktop, what I'd prefer is for the virus checker to say is it infected before it looks at whether it should quarantine that sort of file. Maybe I'm looking at it the wrong way, but that's just how I'd like it to work - in fairness with 3.81 they're most of the way there with the integrated quarantine manager section. regards paul - Original Message - From: Ward, Stuart [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Exchange Discussions [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, June 06, 2003 5:06 PM Subject: RE: ScanMail missing tricks?

RE: The real story with Secondary MX
Basically you tell it, not trying to sound funny there, but I guess different MTAs are told in different ways.. As an example I use postfix as our inbound gateway, if I wanted to set it up as a secondary MX for domain.com I'd basically tell it where to route mail to domain.com to, and that would pretty much be that barring some tweaking.

Normally, mail is attempted to be delivered to the primary MX, if it's not available, the next lower priority one is tried and so on down the list.

Could somebody explain, or point me in the right direction, as to how this all REALLY works? And also, to make sure things are configured correctly (on the secondary server)? What is the overall process, on how mail gets routed - and the criteria that has to be met, before a Primary mail server is given up on, and then gets sent to the secondary server? Obviously, it all begins with DNS - you have preferences using numbers. The lower the number, the higher the priority the Mail Server is. So, the first MX gets a setting like '10', and the secondary MX gets a setting like '20'. Once that is done - what really happens, if in fact, the primary server is unreachable? Does the secondary Mail Server actually need to have all the User Accounts and Domains that the first server has in order to accept messages? OR, does it accept literally everything, and then spools the mail, once the Primary Mail Server is reachable again. And that leads me to the next question - how does the secondary Server know that it just accepted mails (temporarily) for a primary server, and that it's supposed to periodically contact the Primary - so it can offload all the mail it's been accumulating this whole time? If somebody could explain the whole process, or refer me to an article of some type, I would be very grateful.

RE: Spamassassin - Good?
Currently running our mail through it on a Redhat box built as per http://advosys.ca/papers/printable/postfix-filtering.html First impressions are that it was easier than expected (as someone who knows jack about Linux) to setup, and seems very accurate. It's very easy to port it to win32, but AFAIK it's more difficult to integrate it with any sort of Windows SMTP server.

The benefits of such a system are RBL checks on incoming mail, low overhead, and with rrd one can produce pretty little graphs(to show management). Recently Spam had become a major problem for us, as many others I am sure. I decided to implement SpamAssasin with Postfix in advanced filtering mode. There is plenty of documentation on different filtering techniques with Postfix. Since 2/12/03 SpamAssassin has caught 10143 pieces of UCE with a very low false positive rate. The best part about the system is it costs our company $0. Just some thoughts on non commercial software.

Scanmail 3.8 on Exchange 5.5SP4.

Enabling SSL after installing Exchange - nightmare?
Q175439 says you have to have IIS installed before installing Exchange if you ever plan on using SSL. I didn't think of that when setting up our new servers (I figured I didn't need IIS). Is there any retrospective way around it? I'd quite like to add SSL support for IMAP and the likes, but not if it means a reinstall/restore. regards, Paul -- Paul Hutchings Network Administrator, MIRA Ltd.

I know xwall will, but the spammers are getting crafty and if you look at the source of a lot of html spam it's either just links to websites which constantly change, or words split into a couple of letters, then some html padding then some more letters so that the word appears whole on-screen but the filters won't touch it. regards, Paul -- Paul Hutchings Network Administrator, MIRA Ltd.

Removing Servers?
I've moved all our mailboxes off of three old servers onto our new mailbox server, so far so good. I've changed our directory replication connectors, and the site connector bridgeheads, and I've followed the KB article to remove the last server in the site (or at least to replicate the roles to the new server for when the switch-off comes). As I understand it it's now pretty much a case of leaving the old servers on for a couple of weeks to let profiles update as people logon to their mail. Question is, if people have mailboxes on their File/Open/Other Users Folder list, if they open these after the old server is switched off will they get an error as it can't find the old server to update the link to the new server (hope that's clear?). I'd hope that after a couple of weeks 99% of folks will have been updated, but try as you may there's always a few stragglers with this sort of thing... regards Paul -- Paul Hutchings Network Administrator, MIRA Ltd.

Q195490 - Quick Clarification Appreciated
I've just started moving mailboxes from one of our servers, figured I'd do the largest malboxes first and I've noticed something with the first mailbox moved that I didn't expect. When I look at the pre/post move mailbox size and number of items there is a discrepancy - the pre move size and number of items is slightly larger than the post move size and no of items. I've found Q195490, which as I read it only relates to recoverable deleted items not being moved, not the whole contents of the deleted items - I wondered if anyone else had any ideas or had seen this sort of thing before?

RE: Q195490 - Quick Clarification Appreciated
Not sure - the more I read it seems it's most likely due to the fact that the old servers started off with Exchange 5.5 and went through all the service packs as they were released - I believe there were issues with item counts that only got fixed with SP4. My guess at this point is that as this new server is SP4 from day one it's performing an item count as items are transferred into the IS, and correcting the discrepancy. It seems the mailbox sizes are about identical, it's the item count that varies.

Strange thing is, after changing those some of the events (agents firing on new element inserted into folder) hadn't been lost, only about 90%. Oh, in the meantime (folder still homed on server A but agent set to fire on server B) you'll experience delays on the agent events, since the new objects will be delivered to server A, but the agent will fire after the replication of those new objects to server B.

Rehome all public folders - recommended method?
Hi All, Would someone just confirm for me the suggested method to replicate all public folders to a new server, and once replication is complete the rehome the folders (server migration). I'm a little unsure whether it's better, but more tedious to do it using the Public Folders section of Exchange Admin and recurse it, or if it's better to do it using the Public Store properties on the new server? The aim is to rehome the existing folders, and have all new folders automagically be created on the new server. regards, Paul -- Paul Hutchings Network Administrator, MIRA Ltd.

RE: Rehome all public folders - recommended method?
Thanks John. Presumably I do the following (better sure than sorry): Go to the new servers Public IS, instances tab, add everything except eventconfig_otherservers Go to the old servers Private IS, set Public Folder server to the new server Wait a day or two for replication (these servers are all physically in the same site/room) Go to the old servers Public IS, instances tab, remove everything except eventconfig_oldserver I believe the last step has the effect of rehoming the folders to the new server, since it's now the only replica? regards Paul -Original Message- From: John Matteson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 17 February 2003 18:04 To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Rehome all public folders - recommended method?

Scnmail 3.8 or 3.52?
I asked a couple of days ago on the official stance on which is best between Scanmail for Exchange 3.52 and 3.8 - this is the reply my vendor came back with (Trend don't provide direct support in the UK any more). I've read the readme's, and the comparison document on the Trend website and it's six of one, half a dozen of the other - what are you guys that use Scanmail running? Have to say I've had no problems with Trend in the three years I've been using them, so I've no reason to believe one version will cause more problems than the other. regards Paul -Original Message- Subject: RE: Scanmail Question I'd advise using ScanMail 3.52 (AVAPI/MAPI) due to the following limitations posed by the ESE API version (extracted from the readme.txt for ScanMail version 3.8 (ESE API): 4.

Message Tracking FAQ?
Does anyone know of an Exchange 5.5 message tracking FAQ? I'd like a short rundown on what I should be able to monitor when I don't have a specific message ID to track. When I have a message ID I can use advanced and track the flow of the message on each server, however if I don't have a specific message ID I'm not 100% sure what I should be seeing. For example, on my new connector server using advanced tracking I can track messages transferred in through the IMS either to everyone (no specific recipient), or to a specific recipient. If I do a normal (not advanced) search of all messages sent to my mailbox nothing shows up running the track on my connector only server, and running it on my mailbox server shows only messages from internal recipients, except for two external emails I sent myself that I put delivery receipts on. Message tracking is enabled at the site config on the IS and MTA site defaults and on the IMS, and the services have all been restarted - the tracking.log share exists, and there is info in the logs. I suspect I'm getting the wrong end of the stick and that the message tracking utility is really intended to track specific messages where you have the message ID rather than be an overview tool, but I'm finding the documentation isn't overly clear.

Please install language support for that language by importing the appropriate address template from the Microsoft Exchange client CD-ROM. The only thing I can find is this, and it doesn't even appear to be in the MSKB, is it still applicable for Exchange 5.5 SP4 on Windows 2000? MORE INFORMATION To stop this error message from being logged, you can create your own address template for the locale 0x809. To do so: 1. Copy the Support\Tpl\platform folder to your hard drive. 2. Remove the read-only attribute from all files. 3. Open the Template.csv file in Notepad. 4. Search for and replace all instances of 409 with 809. 5. Search for and replace all instances of USA with UK. 6. Save the Template.csv file. You have now created the display template for the locale 0x809. To import the localized templates, in the Microsoft Exchange Administrator program, on the Tools menu, click Directory Import. This should bring up the Directory Import page. Click the Template.csv file described above as the Import File, and click OK. This procedure imports all the required templates. After the templates are imported, the localized templates are visible in the Administrator program. Addressing, Details Templates and Addressing, One-Off Address Templates. This error message will appear if English (United Kingdom) is a selected locale. You can view the selected locales on the Locales property page of the Server object in the Exchange Administrator program. NOTE: There are likely to be other locales for which specific address and display templates do not exist. These can be created in similar way. regards Paul _ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

I may just remove the Event Service (as this is primarily a connector server) and then remove the Public IS totally.

Oh, and I'm talking crap, I do have a v5 client CAB files, I haven't installed it (still don't know if I should or not!), but I've extracted the exchng32.exe and it's version is 5.0.1457.3. regards, Paul -- Paul Hutchings Network Administrator, MIRA Ltd.

I'm struggling to think of a reason we'd need one, it just struck me as the sort of thing that might crop up further down the line... I've also just mailed Trend to get their take on Scanmail mapi/avapi vs. Scanmail ESE - I believe there are still potential Microsoft support issues with ESE scanners? regards, Paul -- Paul Hutchings Network Administrator, MIRA Ltd.

I only sent that once - hope this one doesn't appear twice as well! One thing just occurred to me. What's the consensus on having a Mapi client installed on the Exchange server? It's the sort of thing that I could imagine might be required at some point down the line, so I'm wondering if it would be better to install it prior to installing Exchange? Presumably Outlook is the only Windows 2000 Mapi client as Windows 2000 doesn't come with the old slim line Exchange Client AFAIK? regards, Paul -- Paul Hutchings Network Administrator, MIRA Ltd.

The new servers are Windows 2000 SP3 member servers with the following: Terminal Services in Remote Admin mode IIS removed IE6 SP1 installed Relevant Critical Updates Exchange service account in local admins group Installed MBSA to keep up with patches etc.. Installed Dell Openmanage hardware monitoring.. These are dedicated Exchange boxes, the only additional third party software will be Trend Scanmail and a Rightfax connector on one of the boxes. Right now I think I'm ready to stick the Exchange CD in and get going, but I guess better safe than sorry - can anyone think of anything obvious that I've forgotten? regards, Paul -- Paul Hutchings Network Administrator, MIRA Ltd.

Exchange Client for NT Server - where to download?
I'd rather not put Outlook on a server, however I can't find the 32-bit Exchange Client for NT anywhere, Technet has plenty of updates but not the base installation. Can anyone provide a link, or a means of getting the file?
