Regarding #2, if you want to carry on a personal conversation with someone, then you don't post it to a discussion list. Not every participant herein can watch the list in real time and respond to personal queries. The nature of a discussion list is that everyone responds to anything if he or she can offer something.
Now, as to Mr. Ely's suggestions, you should reconsider your hostility to his "tough love" because he's right on the mark.

Contrary to what you thought, I wasn't trying to be condescending to her. 2- Even if I did, can't talk for herself?! Who are you, her lawyer??! Still it doesn't give you the right to insult people like that. And you call yourself a computer professional??! 3- She responded to my email without any of the trash talk you did! 4- I am fully aware of our email system is not properly configured, but it's not because I don't know what is the best way to do it, it's because: A) No matter how many times I've told them, management doesn't want to listen to me. B) It doesn't want to spend money. C) It's not a high priority D) The only time they would approve is when a disaster happens. This is typical of this company. You gotta work in my company to know what I'm talking about. 5- I didn't say I have 600MB left on our mail server. The user's .pst file is 600MB. We have whole bunch of salespeople and others, who have each at least that much email. 6- I wasn't looking for advice how to set up our email system. I know my stuff well enough. I was just looking for an explanation for this. Instead what I got in return was insult from you and advice on how to set up my mail server and sarcastic remarks from others, except one person, who was actually trying to help me out. 7- So much for my wishful thinking that I can get help here! -----Original Message----- From: Don Ely [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, October 26, 2001 2:45 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Weird message from System Administrator He/she who properly configures his/her doesn't have problems. Apparently, you don't follow this model. You're the one who started the "Again: User is currently out..." like Lori is stupid and can't read. I merely upgraded to the level deemed necessary for you. Call me what you want, think of me what you may... Fact still remains, you're housing improperly configured servers and clients. I more than "get it", you can't dignify anything because you have nothing useful to dignify. Configure your sh!t properly and then come talk some trash. Til then... PEACE OUT! -----Original Message----- From: Alex Alborzfard [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, October 26, 2001 11:34 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Weird message from System Administrator What kind of language is this??? WTF you think you are??!!! If you're so thick that you don't get it, don't go insulting people. I'm not gonna dignify you with an explanation, cause you're too much of a DA to get it!!! -----Original Message----- From: Don Ely [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, October 26, 2001 2:31 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Weird message from System Administrator Again JackA$$!! If you have an Exchange server, WTF are you popping mail to a PST file for? -----Original Message----- From: Alex Alborzfard [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, October 26, 2001 11:24 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Weird message from System Administrator Again: User is currently out of office and not poping email. Therefore all new emails are going to sit on the server. They'll stay there until she/he opens up Outlook and pops them. Then they'll be on the .pst file. The point is email is being delivered, while the sender is receiving a bounced message to the contrary, back from System Administrator. It's being delivered to the .pst file because I don't have room on the server for more than 600 MB of email! Yes I know all about .pst files being not the ideal place to store email, but I can't bring down the server right now, just to add hard drive! I'm looking to find out why is this happening? -----Original Message----- From: Hunter, Lori [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, October 26, 2001 2:12 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Weird message from System Administrator Then why do you say user is receiving the mails if it's supposed to be delivered to PST and it's sitting on the server? And why oh why is it DELIVERED to a PST when you have a server? Once again, PSTs have their uses but delivery point is not one of them. -----Original Message----- From: Alex Alborzfard [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, October 26, 2001 12:57 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Weird message from System Administrator User is out of office.

I must be the only Exchange admin who has never worked with them. What's happening on that client? Delivery to store or PST? Limits?

Subject: Test#2 Sent: 10/26/2001 1:04 PM The following recipient(s) could not be reached: Joe Blow on 10/26/2001 1:04 PM The recipient was unavailable to take delivery of the message The MTS-ID of the original message is: c=US;a= ;p=VISIONICS;l=S-MAIL-011026170419Z-1270 MSEXCH:MSExchangeMTA:JERSEY CITY:S-MAIL But the weird thing is the user X is actually receiving all the emails.
