Exchange 2007 IP Block List
After several months of using Exchange 2007, I just became aware of the fact that IP addresses are automatically added to the IP Block List. Shame on me, I guess; I never realized that happened. This morning I got a call from a sysadmin for an organization that was unable to send mail to one of my users, and in troubleshooting I found them on the block list along with a bunch of other addresses that I never added. I'm digging around, though, and am coming up short on info about how, exactly, this happens. Under what circumstances does an IP get automatically added to that list? I notice that the automatically-added addresses have expiration dates/times. How long is an address blocked for that's put on the list automatically? Is that configurable?

OWA 404 Error
I'm getting a 404 error when I attempt to use OWA.

Re: User wants to use their personal laptop.
Ask your corporate counsel about it, and mention data loss, especially if you have personal information about clients or employees available. For myself and my company, I don't allow any personal devices to connect with the network. Ever. The chance of an unmanaged/user-managed machine wreaking havoc on my network is simply too great. More to the point - I've seen conversations on a couple of different lists in the past couple of months about company which allowed personal laptops into the network, and then tried to demand that the user provide the company access to them upon termination for inspection (and a complete disk wipe!) to determine if company data had been loaded onto the laptop. which the employee (rightfully, IMHO) refused. We're talking lawsuit territory here. Keep it simple - if the job specs warrant a laptop, the company needs to provide the laptop, and it's company property, managed according to company standards.

RE: User wants to use their personal laptop.
One of the advantages of company owned equipment is that if staff uses company provided equipment, the company may exercise rules as owners of the equipment. With the staff member the owner, he/she would thus have administrator permissions and could install whatever they wanted. And, they could install software or allow malware because the control of the laptop would be there responsibility as oppossed to company responsibility. I would recommend against it.

RE: Circular Logging setting
Use an Exchange-aware backup program daily and the log files will be automatically removed. If you are generating more log files than there is space within a 24h period, increase the available space. Circular logging means that older log files are thrown away before being backed up, and in the event of a disaster recovery from a failure of database storage, you could not fully recover all messages received prior to the failure. Of course any such disaster recovery also depends on proper backups and separation of logs from database, which you may or may not have done or be doing.

RE: Exchange 2007 IP Block List
Inquiring minds want to know: where did you dig around? :-) The IP Block List is populated by the IP Block List Providers that you specify one line down in the Anti-Spam configuration.

2003 to 2007 Migration
Just installed a new Exchange 2007 Enterprise Server in preparation for a transition from Exchange 2003. I moved one mailbox and tested mailflow from Exchange 2003 to 2007 but got a System Undeliverable message 5.3.5. From what I can tell it is because the routing connector that was created on the Exchange 2003 server is pointing to the default SMTP Virtual Server which is disabled because the person who originally set up the server was unable to get the default one to start without failing so a new one was created. I was going change the routing connector to point to working SMTP Virtual server but all routing connector options are greyed out. Any suggestions on how to correct this to get mailflow working? Thanks in advance.
