Mysterious outgoing smtp hiatus [long]

I've twice now seen a mysterious hiatus in outgoing SMTP mail and I am wondering if anyone has seen it before and especially if anyone knows why it happened/happens and how to make it not happen again. I have re-read the faq and see nothing that addresses this. I have searched technet and the arch

Well, that was my first thought the first time it happened since it was a moved T1 in a new location for us but it seemed to me that that didn't stand up under examination. Since there were NDRs going out from the postmaster, one of which showed up in the logs once I had turned them up showing the

RE: How to get sender e-mail addresses from deleted itemsfolder i n MS Outlook

Here's a guess: The boss wants to check the senders to make sure he isn't tossing mail from anyone he knows before he empties his deleted items folder (if he ever does - he may not realize he can/should etc) and no one has shown him how to set the view to "by sender" in deleted items. Ronni

RE: Investigating a Forged Message

Back in the old days at my old job we still didn't have e-mail[1] so we couldn't forge messages. But if you left your terminal unlocked you ran the risk of one or more nasty things happening to you (and this was just the other users mind you). Your files were all moved to some other directory so

RE: People using my IIS SMTP relay

There is one somewhat obscure test that an Exchange server (properly set up to not relay mail) will appear to the testing entity to accept mail for delivery to a third server but it just drops the message. It just doesn't return an error message. So the websites that test for you tend to say you m

RE: changing Outlook client mail profile

FWIW (and certainly not to be argumentative) none of my Outlook 97 clients had any issues finding the new server when I moved Exchange to the new server using the ECMSM. I thought it was some really cool automagical $h!t. Perhaps I am easily impressed. I did leave the old server up for a few days

RE: OWA setup

You build a special webserver just for the OWA. At least that is what I did in the same situation. You don't let your web host anywhere near it (possibly, unless they are significantly more knowledgable than you about Windows and IIS and security). You don't put anything else on it and you harden

I wouldn't doubt that needing 512MB min paging space might be true for Windows 2000 but, for what it is worth, for those still running on NT4 - I used to run Exchange 5.5 SP3 on a Pentium 180 with 192MB ram running NT4 SP6a with the paging file set to 384 max and min with about 25 very heavy users

question re pst=bad#7 from the faq

In the FAQ under PST=BAD reason 7 is "Messages take up more space in a PST than in an Exchange store." I seem to be finding that that is true but I am finding some of them taking up something like 4 times as much space which seems overboard to me. Others only seem to be increasing by about 30% not

I think you misread/misunderstood. You want to list all the e-mail addresses that you want to go poof as alternate internet addresses _for_ the DL. The dl has no addresses in it. So when it is expanded it expands to nothing. Hence the black hole. Ronni * In theory

Hmm, sounds like you have configured it correctly. You have removed the mailboxes right? Not just restricted their send/receive or something? I'm not sure what would happen in that case. I only have the one server (and it is an Exchange 5.5 machine), so I don't know if it is related to the existen
