Subject: Mailbox over limit but cannot delete any items from mailbox


I have an user that went over their storage limit but as the
administrator I cannot delete any items from this mailbox.   This is on
an exchange 2000 SP2 environment.   I get the following error The item
could not be deleted.   It was either moved or already deleted, or
access was denied.  This is from both outlook 2000 and the OWA.   

Does anyone has any suggestions?


Thanks,

schedule + free busy system folder

2002-04-09 Thread Edgington, Jeffrey

Currently my exchange environment has one copy of the 'schedule+free
busy' system folder... what I'm wondering (and finding conflicting
opinions on with no documentation to back either preference) is should I
keep a copy of this folder on multiple machines?

yes?  - why? (disaster recovery)

no?  - why? (causes conflicts?)

Thanks for any light you can shed on this subject?

ntbackup, E2K and logs

2002-04-02 Thread Edgington, Jeffrey

Under NT with Exchange installed, the '/l C:\logname.log would
redirect the log file for that particular backup to C:\logname.log ...
under Win2K Adv Server with E2K, when I attempt to give /l  a location
for the logfile, it fails on that part of the command... upon looking at
the ntbackup commandline info, I don't see a reference to how to
redirect the log... anyone have some insight into this?

Thanks.

RE: Evil OST files.

2002-03-14 Thread Edgington, Jeffrey

hrm... about 1 week ago I had a person who's laptop crashed and had to
be re-installed... I salvaged the OST from the original install and was
able to use it in the new OS install... effectively this would be
equivalent to deleting the original outlook profile (I am making the
assumption that this is the definition of profile that is referenced
below)... I did as Mr. Di Nardo had (created a new OST, shutdown Outlook
and replaced the OST with the original one)... this worked fine... so,
from my experience (only 1) the OST file didn't seem to be tied to a
SPECIFIC outlook profile ... (possibly tied to the user's SID? or the
name of the profile?)

I would not draw that conclusion from my post. I stated that I believed
that they are profile specific. If you deleted and recreated a profile,
I do not believe you could open an OST file from the prior profile.

The security context remains constant; the OST remains linked to the
profile; however, prior OST's, created under a given profile, can be
opened and manipulated under the original profile.

So, for members of the Exchange team that have been tracking this
discussion, I think it is at least arguable that OST files should be
thought
of as not necessarily being profile specific.  Or, at the very least,
there
should be an easy way to bypass an existing profile link, provided the
appropriate security context is in use.  An OST needs to be NOT just an
off
line store for a specific profile, but rather an off line store for a
specific user, regardless of profile.

Take notes.  Fix it.

I just spent ten minutes and tried it (it had been about three years
since I last did this, so I wanted to make sure I wasn't experiencing a
brainfart. It works just fine. Renamed the current OST, started OL, and
logged onto the server to create a new one. Logged off, deleted the new
OST and reverted to the prior version. Yanked the network drop, opened
Outlook selected work offline, created a PST and moved some data. No
issues.

Now if Robert was not thinking and deleted the guy's profile, I'm pretty
sure he would have hosed himself and this would not have worked. But,
based on the facts he gave, he didn't mess with the profile, so this
should have worked just fine. No hassle, back online with the data in
ten minutes.

However, as I told him officerecovery.com/exchange was the only other
easy solution. It's certainly cheaper, in terms of time, to pay them
(assuming no sensitive data is involved) then it is to recover that info
from backup.

 I'm not sure exactly what happened.  I don't think he was

 everything was OK Friday, and he logged off, his OST file had

Subject: Open Relay Issue


Goodafternoon All,

I was informed yesterday that we were blacklisted by ORDB.ORG as they had
determined our email server was an Open Relay.  Well, I verified that this
was the case and proceeded to research a way of closing the hole.  I finally
decided to heed the advice of the following article and reconfigured our
Exchange box
(http://www.exchangeadmin.com/Articles/Index.cfm?ArticleID=7696).

Unfortunately, since that change was made I have had a few ticked off users.
Basically, these are internal Macintosh users using Outlook Express to
access their email.  To make a long story short, Outlook for Macintosh will
not run on their Mac's due to conflicts with some software.  Outlook Express
is configured to access Exchange via POP3.  Each time they attempt to send
email outside of the company, they get a 550 Relaying Not Allowed error
message.

The same issue occurs with an AS400-based web app we are running.  It sends
out email replies to customers who make reservations online.  It too uses
POP3 to access the Exchange box and it also receives the same error message.

What can I do to enable these systems to access our Exchange box via POP3
and not open the security hole that makes our system an Open Relay?

Our current Exchange configuration is as follows:

NT Server 4/SP6a
Exchange 5.5/SP4

TIA

Ron

Not even sure how to title this..

2001-12-12 Thread Edgington, Jeffrey

Sorry, but long... (names have been changed)... any suggestions would be
greatly appreciated (and constructive criticism humbly accepted).



Environment:
Mixed Mode with 3 E5.5 Servers and 5 E2K servers. 
e55-mail01 - E5.5 - IMC, x.400 site connector 
e55-mail02 - E5.5 - mailbox server 
e55-mail03 - E5.5 - mailbox server 
e2k-mail1 - E2K - participating in accepting inbound SMTP for entire site 
e2k-mail2 - E2K - participating in accepting inbound SMTP for entire site 
umr-msxproto1 - E2K - currently just idling - will be a front-end server 
umr-msxproto2 - E2K - SRS server 
umr-msxproto3 - E2K - currently just idling - will be a front-end server
 
--Inbound SMTP mail is flowing through e2k-mail1 and e2k-mail2 while
outbound is flowing through e55-mail01 just a transition state...
eventually all in/outbound will be handled by E2K. 

--e2k-mail1 and e2k-mail2 are configured to send all unresolved e-mail to
smtp.domain.edu (Linux Sendmail box)... this is because domain.edu is shared
by AD and Linux and we have listserv lists (like [EMAIL PROTECTED]) that
are on a Linux Listserv box. Additionally all  mailboxes in Exchange have an
additional e-mail address of [EMAIL PROTECTED] (besides their primary of
[EMAIL PROTECTED]).. this is so  mail routed through smtp.domain.edu can
route the smtp mail to either a sendmail box or exchange for example if
[EMAIL PROTECTED] comes in  to smtp.domain.edu and he is on exchange, the
address is re-written to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ... if he is on the Sendmail
box the address is  left unchanged. 

--In E5.5 we have CRs configured with a primary address of @domain.edu and a
forwarding address of @domain.edu (before my time and I'm unsure as to why
it's this way)... messages addressed to these  CRs flow out the IMC on
e55-mail01 



Problem: 
If I address a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] this will route through
smtp.domain.edu (sendmail) and into e2k-mail1 or e2k-mail2 (E2K)...  these
servers will not find this address... they will then (because they are
configured to) route this to smtp.domain.edu (passing it  through e55-mail01
on the way to smtp.domain.edu).. this is a mail loop and fills the
transaction log drive on e55-mail01 summary: 

1. email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (not a valid address in exchange) 
2. smtp.domain.edu (sendmail) receives it from the internet 
3. e2k-mail1  (or e2k-mail2) receives it from smtp.domain.edu 
4. E2K box does not resolve the name and so forwards it to smtp.domain.edu
via e55-mail01 
5.  smtp.domain.edu receives it from e55-mail01 and sends it to e2k-mail1 or
e2k-mail2 ... goto 4 

The reason that I have 'Forward all mail with unresolved recipients to host'
configured (properties of 'default smtp virtual server'  then 'Messages'
tab) is because we have listserv addresses like [EMAIL PROTECTED] that are
hosted on a Linux Listserv box.. without this  configured e-mail to the
listserv lists bounce for users on E2K. 

Additionally, when and E5.5 mailbox sends to a Custom Recipient (configured
as above), the message is sent out the E5.5 IMC... a  mailbox on E2K sends
to this same CR and gets NDR stating  A configuration error in the e-mail
system caused the message to bounce  between two servers or to be forwarded
between two recipients. Contact your administrator. 
e2k-mail1.domain.edu #5.4.6 
 

Questions: 

1. Is there a way to tell E2K to forward the @domain.edu messages that don't
resolve to smtp.domain.edu without using the above configuration? 

2. Is there a way to tell E2K NOT to forward @msx.domain.edu messages when
they don't resolve? 

Things I'm after: 

1. Mail from exchange to @domain.edu - if addr matches a primary or proxy
address, deliver locally, otherwise send to smtp.domain.edu 

2. Mail from exchange to @msx.domain.edu - if addr matches a primary or
proxy address, deliver locally, otherwise bounce 

3. Mail from exchange to any other domain - send to smtp.domain.edu 

4. Mail from exchange - if addr matches a primary address for a custom
recipient that is forwarding to @domain.edu that is not resolvable  locally,
send it to smtp.domain.edu, do not treat it as a bounce. (Right now, it
bounces on e2k, but on E55 it dumps it out smtp.domain.edu.) 

5. The two e2k SMTP hosts should accept mail only for @domain.edu or
@msx.domain.edu (I believe we have this functional with recipient policy and
the setting for relay.) 

Thanks.

Subject: RE: Hello


I had a great experience with Charter last night. My modem had died on
Saturday. Just waited for things to settle before calling. I called last
night. This was my entire conversation

Tech :  hello how may help you?
Me : well my modem does not seem to be right, It is giving me a 192 address?
Me : where are you by the way? Tech : I am in Florida, your modem has been
disabled, I am resetting it. Me : ok cool. 
Tech :  you are all better. Have a great night
Click

Did you hear in there anywhere me telling him who I was /?? Neither did I.
but my modem reset and all is better now

Yeah.. I'm back after 3.5 days of downtime thanks to ATT and Excite
communications.  I HAD 3 static IP'sgone now and probably won't get any
for another 3-4 weeks.  I have been reduced to using DHCP assigned
addresses.  Had to reconfigure my firewall and my DNS.  Could not get a call
back from anyone all weekend and had to wait on hold for 1.5 hours Monday
just to find out I was SOL.  Just wanted to post my gratitude publicly.
