Finally a "win" for Windows Mobile over BlackBerry. I can just disable Active Sync for my mobile users, and they can still access OWA from their mobile devices without the ability to sync. It's about time we got one. ;-) Tim

If you don't have TSupport try your handheld carrier, they can get RIM on the phone.

The filtering is all I have found. Looks like they have 3 blocks. Here is the only reference I have found http://www.billwarnke.com/index.php/tech/38-internet/54-blocking-blackberry-bis-from-accessing-exchangeowa-email Although I also read that the IOPS load on the server for a BB device is significant compared to a normal OWA user.

Try filtering for anything inbound from RIM's netblock.

If that's the case just make a contact for the person using the BB email address for the contact then forward mail to both the mailbox and the contact. If there's and trouble....call the carrier. ----- Original Message ----- From: Kevin Lundy<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues<mailto:exchangelist@lyris.sunbelt-software.com> Sent: Friday, May 09, 2008 10:05 AM Subject: Re: Personal Blackberries Doesn't require POP.

I thought about urlscan to filter the user agent, but I have read that doesn't work. 2) How many people allow personal devices on their BES? If you do, does the company pay the license fee or the user. Thanks Kevin ~ Ninja Email Security with Cloudmark Spam Engine Gets Image Spam ~ ~ http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Ninja ~
