Attachments and Exchange
I remember a product from a few years ago that would take all incoming attachments on Exchange and strip them from the mail, then store them elsewhere while still making them available to the user as if they were in the DB. I can't find it now. Does anyone remember this tool? MailEssentials will strip them, but I don't think it allows the user to retrieve them as if they are still in the DB.

I'm wondering whether we should be running our file-level anti-virus software on our Exchange server. We run Antigen for the email AV, and would exclude the Exchange mdbdata dsadata directories from the file scanning if we did, as I know AV can corrupt the database or directory. The idea is to protect that server from infection channels other than email which Antigen handles. I don't think there's much risk of non-email infection in that server which is dedicated to email, and Antigen only on that server is probably adequate.

Dial-Up Modem / ISDN recently Cable Modem to our corporate mail server have all worked. Our local office user base has increased and we have moved to a brand new installation of Windows 2000 and the full product Exchange 5.5 (SP4). We have setup an Internet Mail Service, but with a cable modem scenario we oviously don't have a dial-up connection to configure... and in SBS the POP3 extension handled this area quite happily. We can Send e-Mails to external addresses and internal addresses. However, we just cannot get Exchange to poll the Corporate server to collect inbound Mail for us. In simplified terms for a non-Exchange person - What information should we ask our mail-server colleagues for; how where should we then configure this and in practical terms have we missed something obvious? If you think Exchange 2000 is a better option for a clean install we are ready to move and work with that product...

RE: Exchange over a SAN
Sorry for the delay on the elaboration. Got pulled
away.
Here is our story:
At the University of North Carolina at Wilmington we are moving
from VMS based (pop/imap) mail system to Exchange and Outlook. We
are running a Dell SAN over Fibre Channel and Dell PV servers. The
SAN adds an extra level of complexity but is a must for clustered
environment. Depending on the SAN you are implementing and its
"ability" to have lun and or partition sizes changed on the fly, the
"virtual" disk size planning plays a major role. With our SAN we
cannot grow the partition on the fly. Any growth will require:
downing of E2K, a GOOD backup,rebuilding of the LUN and partitions
used, re-presentation of the luns, getting W2K to ID the proper LUNs,
data restore, much prayer, bring E2K up.
In short leave yourself plenty of room. I am currently
allotting only .25 of available space to the mailboxes. The system
default mailbox size is 20MB. There is a separate partition/lun
for each of the 2 nodes in the cluster and another for the public
store.
The HBA's to connect to the SAN had issues with W2K SP2 and fail
over would not work, this has been fixed (about mid year). A
thorough understanding of the SAN and its fabrics is very necessary,
Don't just have and outsourced implementation team come in and set it
up, this will kill you if you need to troubleshoot.
I can give more info to the list later if needed or
offline.
The quick synopsis:
E2K on active-active cluster
Quorum, logsx2,priv.edbx2, pub.edb are on SAN
partitions
NLB Front-End/OWA 2 node "cluster"
Hope this a start for any questions, I can give a more "formal"

Messages within the site work fine, or from the Internet to the 5.5 server to a mailbox on the E2k server. I've looked in archives, knowledge base, white papers...basically the consensus is that anything going to an E2k server is considered inbound and it should recognize an address within the site.

Not from a techie or a VP, someone in Marketing. I expressed similar concerns, non-English speaking (writing) tech support, the fact that their solution to everything is re-install, the wait time, etc. What Christina told me was that they are giving the Indian technicians English lessons (she actually said, we make them watch 'Friends') and that she couldn't help me with my technical problems but gave me the number for tech support (just a useless loop for me and the Exchange agent for acrserve). She was going to send me some contact info via email but she said their email was down and didn't know when it would be back up. So, I wouldn't put much stock in the New and Improved CA. Unless you like the witty quips from 'Friends' as a response to your technical issues.

Though I had been a vocal critic of CA's tech support in the past, even back when I was an SE, I thought I was a lightweight when it came to CA-bashing on this list. So I was surprised when I got a call from their VP/TS, especially since he was calling from the east coast. Anyway, let me just hit the high points for you ... I told him my main complaints with CA products (ARCserve Inoculan) were lack of real-time tech support, and the nightmare of RegIT. He agreed. Here are a few of the things he told me: - CA has relaxed their registration code, so that now it does not disable the service. - They have beefed up their support staff, with an office in India with 100 techies, and now 80%+ of their calls actually get answered by a real tech support person. Wow! I used to get the take a number, we'll call you back someday runaround. - Their knowledge base has been beefed up. I recall it used to be pretty thin. I haven't checked it out yet. Well, I was impressed that a high-level guy from CA is actually reaching out to customers and people in the industry, and trying to respond to criticisms. Maybe they have turned over a new leaf. I won't have the opportunity to really evaluate them as we are a Backup Exec / Sophos / Antigen shop, and being happy with these I'm not changing horses ... but maybe some of you out there will revisit CA products and give them a fresh chance.

You don't think I don't know that! I used to work for the Henry J. Krapper Company, and when we needed outside help, they gave us a pencil and told us to go into the bathroom and 'work it out.' All kidding aside, the attitude at work is that we have about 50+ MCSE's working for us in various areas of the company. If on of my staff or I can't fix it, someone in our company should be able to.
