RE: [ActiveDir] OT: Exchange 2000 to 2003 - upgrade by running in parallel.

RE: [ActiveDir] OT: Exchange 2000 SPAM Filtering
Title: OT: Exchange 2000 SPAM Filtering I would have to recommend the Mailfrontier Spam Gateway. It is a product that is relatively cheap and really does a great job on the SPAM portion. They also have an add-on for doing AV screening at the gateway, but it uses MacAfee. Which is crap, in my humble opinion. For AV software, I really like Sybaris product. But, they too have a SPAM add-on for their AV software. But, it really does not compete with Mailfrontiers gateway. Two great products in their own realm.

RE: [ActiveDir] OT: Exchange 2000 SPAM Filtering
Title: OT: Exchange 2000 SPAM Filtering
Nice spelling mistake Al ;-)
BTW - has anyone written an Event Sink yet for SP1 that
allows someone to define arbitrary keywords to look for in either the SMTP
headers or subject line then set the SCL appropriately?
For example, we actually use SpamAss(ass)in to set a
"FailedSpamCheck: yes" header in Spam messages as well as modifying the subject
line with the prefix {FAILED SC}. I would like to look for either of these
terms in a message and set the SCL to 10 (which I think is the highest
level). This would allow us to set up the auto-delete rules etc.
appropriately without involving a server-side rule like we do
now.

Title: OT: Exchange 2000 SPAM Filtering We did a 30 day demo of Sybaris add-on to the AV and it only caught about 69% verses the 94% that Mailfrontier is providing. Also, the Mailfrontier gateway is individually customable by each individual user. So, if an end-user wants to get spam, so be it. They can just turn their filter off. Individuals can allow or block individual companies and email address that will not affect the whole company. They have really great support. The AV engine is running McAfee, which would not stop a golf-ball. (I am very anti-McAfee) Sybaris AV has a possible 7 engines (which you pay for). We have never had a virus infection transmitted through email. (not to boast) The support is fantastic, even on those stupid questions. The AV software can be totally customizable for content, speed/reliability, forbidden email address, etc They have a GREAT AV product, but their SPAM filter leaves something to be desired.

RE: [ActiveDir] OT: Exchange 2000 SPAM Filtering
Thanks, Steve. Individual customization and decision IS one of the main selling points of the Sybari (and my) solutions. Almost-zero admin after deployment is another. The fact that you don't have to TEACH it (aka Bayesian) and that it's content-independent (not susceptible to embedded images and HTML tricks) is a huge advantage, in our opinion. I'm surprised at your 69%-94% finding, but I'm not questioning it. I'm just thinking that you may have unintentionally reversed the result :). 94-97% is the range in all the tests we've participated in to date. Mind if we take this offline privately? I don't want to clutter the list with a back-and-forth. Yeah, I know I started it by asking you for specifics, but I have a feeling that Tony will be coming at me with a big stick very shortly :) Sincerely, Dèjì Akómöláfé, MCSE MCSA MCP+I Microsoft MVP - Directory Services www.readymaids.com - we know IT www.akomolafe.com Do you now realize that Today is the Tomorrow you were worried about Yesterday? -anon From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] on behalf of Steve Shaff Sent: Fri 7/16/2004 10:03 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] OT: Exchange 2000 SPAM Filtering We did a 30 day demo of Sybari's add-on to the AV and it only caught about 69% verses the 94% that Mailfrontier is providing.

RE: [ActiveDir] OT: Exchange 2000 upgrade woes
LOL. Been a while for PHP, but I'd be happy to have a look off-list. However, I did note two things: 1) Are you really sending a Sorry, email's not working through email? :) 2) You have a relay restriction that could be on the connector if you have one. You can set the relay restriction to allow relay from a particular machine if you want to. Your error looks like that may be the problem.

Sent: Monday, June 07, 2004 2:17 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [ActiveDir] OT: Exchange 2000 upgrade woes Afternoon, everyone. I did an in-place upgrade of my Exchange 5.5 box this weekend and brought it up to 2000. For the most part, everything is looking hunky-dory, with one really heinous exception. I have a web application written in PHP (don't ask, I had no say in the matter), that uses the Exchange box as an SMTP relay to send email notifications, Forgot your password? reminders, and the like. Worked fine (for the most part) under 5.5, but after the 2000 upgrade it just plain -stopped working-. I have tried playing around with the Relay settings on the Virtual SMTP server, up to and including configuring it as a wide open Hey, SPAM-mers, over here! relay, to no avail. I've enabled logging in the admin$\system32\LogFiles, as well as set the Diagnostic Logging under %SERVERNAME%\Diagnostic Logging\MSExchangeTransport\SMTPProtocol to Maximum. When I go to the web app and force a Sorry, email's not working error, I get the following entry in the SMTPSVC1 folder on the Exchange server: 2004-06-07 18:12:32 %IP-ADDRESS-OF-WEB-SERVER% localhost.localdomain SMTPSVC1 HELO 250 2004-06-07 18:12:32 %IP-ADDRESS-OF-WEB-SERVER% localhost.localdomain SMTPSVC1 QUIT 240 I see NOTHING in the Event Viewer logs, despite seeing any number of entries to the effect of: IP Address w.x.y.z did not authenticate before attempting to send ...from what I assume are SPAM-mers looking for an open relay. If anyone has any server configuration ideas that they can offer, I'd really appreciate it. Or if someone is a PHP-head (I'm entirely not one) who wouldn't mind looking at some code, contact me off-list. Thanks all! (No, not Al - though his posts are always informative - All!) * Laura E.

Re: [ActiveDir] OT: Exchange 2000
Could be that the Exchange services are starting before the machine's DC/GC services are up and running? As mentioned, Exchange won't start if it can't find a GC server. Is there another DC/GC on the network? Is DNS working ok? Can you start the services manually after boot? If you can then that might be the problem.

RE: [ActiveDir] OT: Exchange 2000
Sorry for the vague details. Here is how everything is setup. I have one Win2k DC, it is running SP3 and has all updated patches. The server is a DC, has GC and all FSMO roles. SQL 2000 is installed and running SP2. DNS is working properly as well. I also have NAV corporate edition 7.51 installed and running. The initial install of Exchange seemed to go fine, I rebooted and received the error message that a service failed, in the system event viewer I have the following error Event Type:Error Event Source:Service Control Manager Event Category: None Event ID:7024 Date: 1/20/2003 Time: 9:31:29 PM User: N/A Computer:DC1 Description: The Microsoft Exchange Information Store service terminated with service-specific error 0. After this error I receive numerous others stating that the Pop3 and Imap4 could not start because they depend on the information store. I ran the uninstall and rebooted, I noticed that I again received service failures for left over exchange services. I went in and manually removed the left over services and rebooted. I started the Exchange install again and it completed, but still had the same problem. I tried manually starting the information store and it failed to start. Is there a special way you have to uninstall Exchange in order for it to get completely removed? I have been looking for good docs on installing Exchange, but the only thing I have found is setting up exchange in a cluster. Does anyone have any good places for Exchange docs, besides the MS site?

Asked them if they do full searches - partial word searches - full text searches or the 4th button was - - You can search for stuff in Outlook? (always have to included those kinds of voting buttons to see who's out there :O) ) -Original Message- From: Salandra, Justin A. [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, January 17, 2003 1:55 PM To: ActiveDir (E-mail) Subject: [ActiveDir] OT: Exchange 2000 Indexing What is everyones comments or thoughts about the Full Text Indexing feature in Exchange 2000? Good, Bad, So-So? I would appreciate any comments or experiences that you would like to share with me. My company is looking to have such a solution and my CIO is saying that we could buy indexing software. However my thing is if we already purchased Exchange 2000 and are migrating to it this year why not just use the Exchange 2000 Indexing feature. What are the pros and cons you all have on this feature? Thanks for your input Justin A.
