HTML Message hangs outlook
On several machine in my organisation, attempting to open a message from one particular supplier causes Outlook to hang - I can open it in Outlook XP on my machine, but even previewing it in Outlook 2000 on at least three other machines causes a "Not responding" message in task manager. This even happens when showing the message in the Preview pane. The machines in question are running Win98SE and Outlook 2000 SR1, and the server is Exchange 5.5 SP4 on NT4 SP6a. If I save the message as a html file, the machines can open it in Internet Explorer. Saving the message as an HTML file and opening it in a text editor shows that it was generated by MS Word 9 - the HTML header is shown below: http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40"; xmlns:v = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml" xmlns:o = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" xmlns:w = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:word">Lizards cid:[EMAIL PROTECTED]" rel=File-List>cid:[EMAIL PROTECTED]" rel=Edit-Time-Data>

Backup Ex5.5 using NTBackup on Workstation
After many problems with BackupExec I have decided to follow Paul Robichaux's advice and try using NT Backup I have written a batch file to be run on an NT4 workstation with DAT drive, and Exchange Admin loaded to bake NTBackup Exchange aware. If I run this batch file directly, it works fine, but I am trying to get it to run via the AT scheduler. I have now found that it will not run as the scheduler creates a null session without access to the network. Q124184 suggests changing the account that the Scheduler uses, but on the workstation this option is greyed out. Can anyone give me any pointers on getting this working, or will I have to run it on the server? The batch file is as follows: Ntbackup backup DS \\BPA IS \\BPA /hc:on /t normal /v /d "Blue Planet Backup" /l c:\backup\daily.log /e Chris Quinn IT Manager Blue Planet Aquarium _ 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]

Subject: RE: Using script to get header info
Well, I wrestled with this for a few days, and this is what I've come up
with. It may not be pretty, but it works for my purposes. This is a VBA
macro in Outlook 2002. It prompts for a folder, then retrieves the IP
address of the originating server for each message in that folder, reverses
the octets and writes it out to a file, for inclusion in a dns blacklist
file.
'** exported from Outlook 2002 ***
Attribute VB_Name = "GetSpam" ' ' NOTE: Requires a reference to the
Microsoft CDO 1.21 Library ' Sub ShowFolderInfo_Click()
'*** this is the string to search for in the message headers
'*** substitute your own "servername.domain" in the search string
strSMTPSearch = "]) by servername.domain with SMTP" strSpamOutFile =
"c:\spam.txt"
Set MyNameSpace = Application.GetNamespace("MAPI")
Set myFolder = MyNameSpace.PickFolder
If myFolder Is Nothing Then
MsgBox "User pressed cancel.", vbInformation
Exit Sub
End If
Set oSession = New MAPI.Session
oSession.Logon
Set oSpamFolder = oSession.GetFolder(myFolder.EntryID)
Set oMsgColl = oSpamFolder.Messages
If oMsgColl.Count > 0 Then
outfile = FreeFile(0)
Open strSpamOutFile For Output As #outfile
For Each oMessage In oMsgColl
oHeader = oMessage.Fields(&H7D001E)
'^ this is the full header
oHeader = Left(oHeader, InStr(oHeader, strSMTPSearch - 1)
'^ this strips everything after the search string
oHeader = Right(oHeader, Len(oHeader) - InStrRev(oHeader, "["))
'^ this gives us the offending IP address
strOctet = Split(oHeader, ".")
'^ this creates an array of the octets
strBadMachine = strOctet(3) & "." & strOctet(2) & "." &_
strOctet(1) & "." & strOctet(0) &_
vbTab & vbTab & "A" & vbTab & "127.0.0.2"
'^ reverses the octets and builds the dns entry for blacklisting
Write #outfile, strBadMachine
'^ and then writes it out to the file
Next
Close outfile
End If
MsgBox "Finished!" & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & "File is at " & strSpamOutFile End
Sub
'***
***
The WRITE statement puts double quotes around the string when it's written,
so I still have to load it in notepad and remove those (a simple replace
with nothing). Next I load it into Excel along with the existing blacklist
entries, sort them and save them back out.
Today I processed 90 new messages in about 3 minutes. Yesterday, that same
task would have taken an hour or more.

Mike

Subject: Using script to get header info
Hi folks,
I created a public folder and asked several of our users to move their spam
into it. From there, I can open the messages, view the headers, pluck the IP
addresses of the offending mail servers, and add them to our internal dns
blacklist.
Works like a charm, but it's very labor-intensive.
I wrote some vbscript code that examines all the messages in the folder, and
returns things like Sender, Subject, etc., all of which are basically
useless to me in this case, but the practice was good. There doesn't seem to
be any property that will return the header info, no? I don't have a good
reference book handy, but searching through the online MSDN library was
helpful.
Now it looks like maybe ADO/CDOEX might be the way to go. Does anyone have
any sample code that might give me some pointers? This doesn't have to be
fandy or polished. If I can retrieve the headers, I can parse through them
and find the right "received by" line, and pull the address from that line
and output it to the screen. I'd greatly appreciate any pointers at all, be
it a web page, KB article, book, etc.
Thanks,
Mike

All of these viruses are in the same folder and same file. This is one of the messages that i recieved, Virus Alert!! VBS_SLUG.B is detected on KAREN() in Logistics domain. Infected file: C:\Program Files\folder.htt Detection date: 2002.12.03 06:20:22 Action: Clean Failed (Quarantine Failed) I went to Trend.com to search more information and didnt find an exact match on this virus. I also called trend and they said they didnt have any info on this virus and that i should send them the virus asap. I told them that I couldnt cause i deleted the files that were Quarantined on the server. So how does trend not know anything about a virus that was detected by their program (office scan). Has anyone seen this virus before. I also scanned all the computers that were suppose to be infected and recieved no notifications of them being infected.

RE: urgent backup problem
Sander - I only say this because the disk is non-removable, so it is not as secure as an off-site tape, and I only have space for one backup. I am putting together a case for new hardware to go to my management, so maybe I can slip in a few removable disks without them spotting it! The answer I usually get, however, is that the public come to see the fish, not the computers! BTW We recently were hit by complaints from PETA because we serve fish in our restaurant (but not in tacos!)

I backup to different removable hard drives Monday to Thursday and to tape on Friday (keep one tape off-site) I find this solution not too bad and have found hard drive restores faster and more reliable than tape restores (I detest a CRC error on the tape...:-)).

RE: POP3 and exchange 2k
I had the same problem yesterday with one of my POP3 accounts - it turns out the ISP had deactivated the account for non-usage as I was accessing it via a broadband connection through another ISP, and not using the email provider's dialup access. I reactivated my account via their webpages and all was fine. Does the ISP have webmail access - if so try this and ensure the account is active, and the password hasn't been changed Chris Quinn IT Manager Blue Planet Aquarium -Original Message- From: Crumbaker, Ron [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 01 August 2002 14:59 To: Exchange Discussions Subject: POP3 and exchange 2k I'm having a problem getting mail from my E2k box using POP3.

RE: Cancel Request
Some sort of virus scanning taking place?

My users are running Outlook 2002 clients, my server is Exchange 5.5 with the latest service pack. Frequently when a user opens or attempts to move a message the Cancel Request dialog box is displayed and Outlook stops responding until the message goes away on its own. This can take from a couple of seconds to 30 seconds or more. It appears that messages with file attachments are the most commonly affected.
