RE: Inbound email for deleted mailboxes wasting bandwidth.
Thanks for the info Andy. I think that will help quite a bit. I set it up and added a bunch of the old email address addresses as aliases. I also set a small size limit on it. That brings up another question: If you have a size limit specified for users' mailboxes, does exchange deny the email when it receives the header information or does it download the whole thing and then deny it? If it denies the email upon receipt of the header information, that would be great. Also, thank you all for your support for us and the rest of our forces.

RE: Can this happen with Spam ?
But I believe that just turns it off. It doesn't disable it (I could be wrong, but that's how I believe it to be). A user could just turn it back on. BTW - That's called 'web beaconing' (when images are use for tracking). It's a very effective method for determining if email addresses are valid, and has been used by a LOT of spammers. We've even seen HTML emails that don't have any visible images use this by setting the width height to 0 so the image doesn't appear, but it still gets accessed. If my copy of OL2K is anything to go by, the /nopreview switch disables the Preview Pane option under View - Preview Pane. Tools - Options - Preview Pane is still there, but it's pretty much impotent. Autopreview is still available. I could be mistaken, but doesn't this ignore all the html formatting and only grab the text only? If so, this might make a safe alternative to Preview Pane. Maybe there's a tweak for a virus filter out to auto-reject all mail with img files below a size visible to the human eye. _ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

RE: SPAM blockin software recommendations..... [bcc]
Not to be too redundant here, but I have been running Postfix on a Slackware box as a corporate SMTP gateway. I would highly recommend Postfix for such an application. The benefits of such a system are RBL checks on incoming mail, low overhead, and with rrd one can produce pretty little graphs(to show management). Recently Spam had become a major problem for us, as many others I am sure. I decided to implement SpamAssasin with Postfix in advanced filtering mode. There is plenty of documentation on different filtering techniques with Postfix. Since 2/12/03 SpamAssassin has caught 10143 pieces of UCE with a very low false positive rate. The best part about the system is it costs our company $0. Just some thoughts on non commercial software.

RE: SPAM blockin software recommendations.....
Well, setting it up now (again after a play install this morning). I don't wish to turn this into a Postfix list so if anyone can help and would care to answer off-list: At present my box is on the LAN, if I've called it relay.mira.co.uk and I want it to accept any mail for the mira.co.uk domain and forward it to otherserver.mira.co.uk do I use virtual domains or, as I think, transport mappings?

The benefits of such a system are RBL checks on incoming mail, low overhead, and with rrd one can produce pretty little graphs(to show management). Recently Spam had become a major problem for us, as many others I am sure. I decided to implement SpamAssasin with Postfix in advanced filtering mode.

The difference is that it isn't being relayed through my ISP's mail servers. Therefore, to my ISP, its just another set of traffic on the wire.

That's why so many of my clients sign up for email distribution lists for things such as news, jokes, etc., I'm sure you all know exactly what I'm talking about. Well, when people transfer away from my command, I remove their accounts and delete their mailboxes. Recently, I decided to check the Exchange Administrator's mailbox, something that I have never done in the past. Holy cow! Look at all those Inbound Mail Failures and NDR's! It seems that the exchange server still downloads the whole email, even if the mailbox it's being sent to is no longer there. Then, as if that's not enough, when it doesn't find the mailbox, it sends an NDR back to the originator, further wasting my bandwidth. I've found that this is really taking up a lot of my precious bandwidth. I'm talking over 350 NDR's for deleted mailboxes in one day! I've checked everything I can think of in the Internet Mail Connector to try to prevent the NDR's from being sent back to the Internet, but they continue to go out. Can someone help me stop these NDR's for Unknown mailboxes from going out? And what would be better than that would be to tell my server not to download the message if it is destined for a deleted mailbox. Is there a way to do this?

RE: postini spam control
Don't shoot since I'm just the messenger and we are not a customer but since we just received a proposal from them... The Postini sales pitch tells you specifically that absolutely no email , unless identified as SPAM and therefore quarantined, ever gets written to disk anywhere in their system. Not sure if it's totally believable but that's what they say. They also state that even the quarantined emails are not written to backup so there should be no effect on storage/recovery issues such as those required by the SEC, NASDAQ, etc... Since the good email is never written to disk and you have the ability to log into your company's email that was quarantined, there should be no issue since your email is not exposed to any additional scrutiny or exposure.

Re: Inbound email for deleted mailboxes wasting bandwidth.
Size limits for individual mailboxes are not evaluated at the connector level in Exchange 5.5/DMS. In E2K with AD, you may be able to get evaluations of message size done earlier in the transmissions process... I can't remember for certain. On 3/24/03 10:27, Biesecker, Noel E.

If it denies the email upon receipt of the header information, that would be great. Also, thank you all for your support for us and the rest of our forces.

Mail servers have filesystem access controls, user accounts, passwords, and so on. Violating such access controls will typically leave behind a trail.

Exmerge?
I have to use the exmerge utility to create PST files of mailboxes for about 3 users who are leaving the firm. Their mailbox sizes are really huge (about 1GB each). I have never had the opportunity to use Exmerge, so I want to get an idea. Can this be done online or do I need to take the Exchange Server offline to do this? I know it affects the SIS, will it really increase my database size drastically? I only have 4GB of space left on a 36Gb partition where the Information store resides. Will this retain the folder tree structure for OL client. If it requires exchange downtime, I'd rather export to PST files using the Outlook client.

I think you can only use Exmerge while the Exchange is online. I use it all the time when a user leaves the company and have had no problems with it. The largest I have ever exported is 200MB though and it took about 10 seconds. I have yet to see the database grow becuase of me using exmerge. - Peter -Original Message- From: Pillai, Raj [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, March 24, 2003 11:35 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Exmerge?

Re: Exmerge?
For only 3 people, you can use Outlook to esport to .pst if you're concerned. ExMerge will do this while the computer is online. The help file that comes with is very thorough. The .pst files are going to take up more room than what that content occupied in the Exchange database.

RE: Exmerge?
You can't use Exmerge at all if you take the store offline, since the information store is the home of the information you'll be extracting. :) It won't increase your database size at all if you're merely exporting the mail to PST - the only way it would have a chance to increase the store size would be if you were importing a PST into the information store. And...yes, it will retain your folder tree structure that the user created, as long as they created the folder structure for their Exchange mailbox folders and not a personal folder. Hope this helps. -Michelle -Original Message- From: Pillai, Raj [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, March 24, 2003 1:35 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Exmerge?

Move Exchange install directory
I am running Exchange 5.5/SP4 and am looking to repartition my server to make a volume set to house an private information store that is growing too big for its current place. I am familiar with moving databases, logs, mta etc with the optimizer. However, it turns out that one of the partitions I wish to repartition and format contains the Exchange install directory with the Add-in, Address, Res shares and the admin program directory. How can I safely move these shares and the admin install directory? Thank you for your help.

A Simple Question - Replacing a small drive in Exch 5.5
Our drive that contains information store is near capacity. We will like to replace it with a larger drive. Will the following scenario work? 1. After shutting down the server, add the larger drive and bring back the server with all Exchange services stopped. 2. Copy the MDBData folder to the new drive. 3. Rename the new drive same as the old drive (E: in this case) in Disk Manager. 4. Start the Exchange services after running isinteg -patch. 5. If everything goes well, shutdown the server and remove the old drive and boot up. Is there any flaw in this thinking? Please comment.

Re: Please confirm Outlook internet - Outlook exchange
All currently shipping versions of Outlook are not AD aware. You still don't need to export to PST, the mail already exists in PST format.

Re: Please confirm Outlook internet - Outlook exchange
Ok, that makes sense. For some reason I thought that the PST file was only used for IMO Outlook, and not CW (aside from an inport/export system). Thanks, Erick - Original Message - From: Chris Scharff [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Exchange Discussions [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, March 24, 2003 3:49 PM Subject: Re: Please confirm Outlook internet - Outlook exchange All currently shipping versions of Outlook are not AD aware. You still don't need to export to PST, the mail already exists in PST format. It just needs to be copied somewhere (not strictly necessary depending on config) and then imported. Exporting from a PST to a PST would be redundant. On 3/24/03 16:57, Erick Thompson [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Thanks to everyone for the confirmation. I will be exporting then importing, because I won't be converting Outlook. This is part of a network upgrade, on a fresh install of Outlook on a different LAN, a different AD naming scheme. I don't think it should make any difference, as IIRC IMO Outlook isn't AD aware.

Outlook, very slow opening new messages
We are running Exchange 5.5 on NT4.0 with a mix of Outlook 97 Outlook 2000 clients, recently several of the client machines are experiencing very slow opening of new messages in the inbox. Once a message has been read it opens rapidly. Opening the mailbox from another user also results in slow opening of messages. Anyone have any ideas or hints on this one?

RE: Outlook, very slow opening new messages
Lots of questions... 1) What's your infrastructure? WAN? LAN? 2) How's your utilization? LAN traffic? Server overburdened? 3) Using a client-side anti-virus software? 4) Anything special about those client machines? Problem happens on OL97 and OL2K or just one or the other? -Ben- Ben M.

RE: A Simple Question - Replacing a small drive in Exch 5.5
Another option: 1. Full backup 2. Shut exchange server down 2. Remove small drive 3. Ghost small drive onto new big drive (on another pc if you want) 4. Replace new drive 5. Start up No need to run any patches or Exmerge. I personally would go for the Optimiser option, but if you are anal about a drive letter this will work.

Change the primary SMTP address using VBscript
Has anyone tried to use a VBscript to change the primary SMTP address for a
number of users?
We are in the process of a demerger. During the transition process, all the
users in the new company need to have some additional SMTP addresses. After
a certain date, the primary SMTP address needs to be changed from the
existing Company1 address to the new Company2 address. I have tried to do
this in a script, but it doesn't do what I want. The script basically goes
through a particular OU ( containing all the user accounts which are
migrating to the new company ), extracts the proxy addresses for each user
into an array, then reads through the array and modifies the appropriate
values. It then writes the array back to the user object and loops back to
the next user. It runs with no error, but when I look at the user's
properties, the primary SMTP address has not been changed.
Has anyone done this before?? Can anyone see what I'm doing wrong?? As you
can probably see from the code, I'm not a scripting guru. I have googled
and looked at as many sample scripts ( MSDN, Script Center etc ) as I could
find, but I wasn't able to find any code specifically about changing the
primary SMTP address.
Any assistance gratefully accepted.
