"the custom form could not be opened" error

2001-08-26 Thread Sakti Chakravarty

Hi all,

Some of our Outlook clients have been getting the following error message:

"The custom form could not be opened. Outlook will use an Outlook form
instead."

when trying to:

- open a meeting related message
- dismiss a reminder (in which case the error message is followed by "Cannot
turn off the reminder. You may be reminded again.")

We do use a custom form for meeting-related items.  Seems that recreating
the profile or running /cleanfreebusy temporarily solves the problem but it
recurs.

We have recently moved mailboxes over to Exchange 2000, although the moves
don't seem to coincide with the time when these messages started to appear.

Have searched the MS KB and haven't found any article that relates.

Anyone else got any ideas?

Thanks in advance
Sakti

RE: Routing SMTP mail in a Hub spoke exchange environment

2001-08-26 Thread butyoda

At each of the 7 branch offices their are 60 users, here is what I am
thinking of:

- At each branch office a BDC for the domain/NT4sp6/Exchange 5.5 sp4
- All branch office are connected to corporate by full t-1's

My questions are the following:

-I have read that putting exchange on domain controllers is bad, in large
sites, but mine is relativly small, at each site I only have 2 available
servers 1 for BDC, 1 for either file print server/exchange or possible wins
and file server what do you think is best??

- Even though the connections between sites are fairly fast, should I still
make each branch office its own site??? or should they all be in the same
site ? what are pros and cons of both, I have set up site connectors a few
times and have fairly decent success with them, but not with this many .. so
I would like to hear others opinions on this, of all the exchange books I
have read they recomend only intersite replication on fast lan technologies,
they recomend seperate sites across wan links so you can more accuratly
control replication

- best method to set up Name Resolution, I have heard Exchange on DC is bad,
but some people say it speeds up name resolution since exchange uses NTs
directory for authentication, so should I put it on a BDC at each branch
since each is relativly small or should I put a WINS server at each location
and set up replication, my thoughts is that with 8 wins servers it will be
come high maintenance... Thanks for your time..

Strange IMC Issue

2001-08-26 Thread Kastner, Bill

I have a really strange IMC issue that I am hopeful someone here can shed
some light on.

Our company routes mail for multiple domain names. In our corporate office
we have 2 Exchange servers each in their own site. Our corporate server
(Exch 5.5 Sp4) hosts mail for 3 domain names, and the other (Exch 5.5 Sp3)
hosts a single domain name. The external DNS records for all our domain
names point to virtual hosts on our Raptor firewall which re-directs the
mail into the appropriate Exchange server. The IMCs on both servers have
routing restrictions to only accept the appropriate e-mail addresses.

What I am trying to accomplish is to collapse the single domain server into
the larger corporate server. However, the corporate server is un-willing to
accept the domain's e-mail even though it's been added to the routing list.
It bounces with a 550 Domain Invalid message.

If I turn on logging on the IMC I see the following:

8/26/2001 4:26:02 PM : A connection was accepted from firewall.company.com.
8/26/2001 4:26:02 PM : <<< IO: |HELO firewall.company.com
|
8/26/2001 4:26:02 PM : <<< HELO firewall.company.com
8/26/2001 4:26:02 PM : >>> 250 OK

8/26/2001 4:26:02 PM : <<< IO: |MAIL FROM:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
|
8/26/2001 4:26:02 PM : <<< MAIL FROM:< [EMAIL PROTECTED]>
8/26/2001 4:26:02 PM : >>> 250 OK - mail from < [EMAIL PROTECTED]>

8/26/2001 4:26:02 PM : <<< IO: |RSET
|
8/26/2001 4:26:02 PM : <<< RSET
8/26/2001 4:26:02 PM : >>> 250 OK - Reset

8/26/2001 4:26:03 PM : <<< IO: |QUIT
|
8/26/2001 4:26:03 PM : <<< QUIT
8/26/2001 4:26:03 PM : >>> 221 closing connection

I do not have hotmail on a restricted list, and this process works just fine
if I point the firewall back to the original Exchange server. I have moved
the 2nd Exchange server into the same site as the corporate server, as well
as deleted and re-created the IMC on the corporate server, all with no
effect.

I am completely at a loss as to why this server will not accept this one
domain name. Any insights any one has, or ideas as to where else to look for
clues would be greatly appreciated.

RE: CISCO Pix FixUp Protocol

2001-08-26 Thread Tom Meunier

Thanks.  I knew all that.  And I agree.  That's why I posted.  Because I
am getting sick of the topic coming up every two days (and it's been for
a few years, not months), I would really like to get together and
quantify the exact extent of the issue.  (Course, I'd probably be able
to do that with Google or Cisco support, but there's so much "he said -
she said" around this issue I wouldn't trust that)

If your CEO tells you "I can't email my husband, go fix our email system
NOW" and the CEO's husband's Netadmin tells you to go pound sand because
he damn well WILL NOT shutoff mailguard, what the heck does some email
admin from some two-bit agency in the middle of Texas know anyway blah
blah blah... What are you gonna say?  Your job is email, his is
security.  He's gonna win on the Cisco debate, for many many of the
people on this list who have 37 other job functions and have never even
SEEN a cisco firewall.  

So my point is to quantify TO WHAT EXTENT Cisco Mailguard is "broken",
if at all.  Or if IOS versions below X.Yy.Zz are "broken" but problem
"A" was fixed in X.Yz.ZZ and problem "B" was fixed in Y.Zz.Aa.  That
way, we can tell Mr. Paper CCMP at CEO's Husband's Employer, Inc. to go
patch his IOS to version Y.Zz.Aa so that my CEO can send email.

Yes.  I know that if I board up all my windows, people are less likely
to throw rocks through them, and so I'm more secure.  And that this is
the "security" mindset that Mailguard uses.  But it's there, and people
use it, and people refuse to disable it, so let's figure out how to deal
with it.

Conversation: CISCO Pix FixUp Protocol
Subject: RE: CISCO Pix FixUp Protocol


Tom,

There have been a number of discussions on this list in the past few
months
on Cisco's "fixup protocol smtp". The general conclusion is that it is
more
trouble that its worth, particularly for a mail system with inbuilt
security
features such as Exchange. I suggest taking a look at exactly what it
does
and that may help convince your Cisco person that it as at least
unhelpful.

Basically, it restricts you to a subset of basic SMTP commands so all
the
advanced features of ESMTP that Exchange can use get blocked. The sort
of
thing that will get lost are message size declarations that could be
used to
block someone tying up your line with oversize messages. There is no
security advantage in blocking such functions.

I haven't checked the documentation other than for version 5.2 of the
PIX
software but in that version they advise putting an Exchange (IMS) in
the
DMS as a security measure. This is absolute rubbish - you would have to
open
far more ports than SMTP to get their configuration to work and you
would be
far better off using something like Mimesweeper as a relay and virus
scanner
or having solid virus scanning on Exchange itself.

regards,
Richard Dann

all mail for company.com to the exchange servers running smtp at corporate,
so I need advice/docs on how to set up smtp routing from multiple branch
offices up to the corporate servers who actually have the internet
connection I have the migration stuff licked my users can log onto
either grouwise or exchange and see each other and send mail, but it is now
time to remove groupwise, and set up the smtp from my branch offices to the
corporate smtp servers for outside mail via exchange.. Thanks IA

I disagree.  Two are easier.  One requires much more attention.  With two
(reasonably closely together in age), they entertain each other much of the
time.

RE: CISCO Pix FixUp Protocol

2001-08-26 Thread Richard Dann

Tom,

There have been a number of discussions on this list in the past few months
on Cisco's "fixup protocol smtp". The general conclusion is that it is more
trouble that its worth, particularly for a mail system with inbuilt security
features such as Exchange. I suggest taking a look at exactly what it does
and that may help convince your Cisco person that it as at least unhelpful.

Basically, it restricts you to a subset of basic SMTP commands so all the
advanced features of ESMTP that Exchange can use get blocked. The sort of
thing that will get lost are message size declarations that could be used to
block someone tying up your line with oversize messages. There is no
security advantage in blocking such functions.

I haven't checked the documentation other than for version 5.2 of the PIX
software but in that version they advise putting an Exchange (IMS) in the
DMS as a security measure. This is absolute rubbish - you would have to open
far more ports than SMTP to get their configuration to work and you would be
far better off using something like Mimesweeper as a relay and virus scanner
or having solid virus scanning on Exchange itself.

regards,
Richard Dann
