RE: how to cut down on spam
Well, you can set up the spamfilter to quarantine the filtered messages for later review and if there should be a legitimate message it can be retrieved. I don't think there are any spamfilters which blocks 100% spam and 0% legitimate messages. Freddie -Original Message- From: Tigue Williams [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Mittwoch, 25.

It (along with a lot of other products) allows us to use Reverse DNS lookups and RBL lookups against incomming e-mail to block a lot of spam before it even gets through the door. After it makes it through those checks they have a nice Anti-Spam agent that is updated nightly. In addition, you can do dictionary checks to further eliminate spam and unwanted content. It also gives you the flexibility to setup allow rules to prevent known good domains from being submitted against the anti-spam filters.

Actually, that sounds like the network password is out of sync between the client and the domain.

If you have the Exchange Server scripting add-on enabled in Outlook, MAPI Outlook will open three connections to the Exchange server (without the Exchange scraping add-on, only two). One for each store (mailbox and public) and one to the scripting system folder. I wonder if that is related to the general problem. I also saw similar issues back in 1998 when we had a network issue and the RPC/NETBIOS calls failed. Changing the RPC binding order helped these days but since the Outlook 2002 process to connect to an Exchange server has changed I am not sure if the former issue might happen here too. -Original Message- From: Beavers, Terry [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, June 25, 2003 8:55 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: IPM.Post VS.

Re: Exchange 5.5 Changing Domains
You can have two servers that are in separate domains in one site . Its all a matter of making sure the required trusts are there as well as ensuring the service account has the necessary permissions in each domain. I did this last in 1998 and IIRC, it was pretty painless and not much different than moving mailboxes between servers in the same domain. - Original Message - From: Bendall, Paul [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Exchange Discussions [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, June 26, 2003 4:45 AM Subject: Exchange 5.5 Changing Domains Hi Guys, I have read the FAQ on www.swinc.com with regard to changing the domain a Exchange 5.5 server resides in.

RE: Not Open Relay, but...
Tony, Open up the properties page of your IMS Connection, go to the Internet Mail tab and click on the Notifications... button. My guess would be that you have the Always send notifications when non-delivery reports are generated radio button clicked. If that is the case, select the second choice and uncheck the options that you don't want. I receive anywhere from 3,000 to 10,000 ndrs a day, from spammers trying to brute force their spam through the system. I track the NDRs to create a spreadsheet for management, showing them the exponential growth of spam and the load it is placing on the servers, in order to justify new servers.

Odd SMTP problem
We have an Exchange 5.5 SP4 server running on an NT4 SP6a (with rollups) box that has been very happy for a couple years now. As far as our users are concerned all is well but for the last few weeks none of our reporting software will deliver mail through the server. By this I mean I have an old copy of WhatsUp running on another box. It should send warning messages to a group on my exchange box using SMTP. It no longer functions. I also noticed that if I telnet to port 25 on the exchange box it takes a good 10 - 20 seconds to respond to me. Once it responds initially it's fine. I suspect that this delay is causing my reporting software to time out. I cranked up the amount of simultaneous connections that are allowed on the server slightly but that didn't seem to have any affect. Anyone have any idea of why this might be happening and what I might try to fix it? Thanks!

Re: Odd SMTP problem
Check DNS and the hosts file on the Whazzup box. - Original Message - From: Paul Adams [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Exchange Discussions [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, June 26, 2003 2:58 PM Subject: Odd SMTP problem We have an Exchange 5.5 SP4 server running on an NT4 SP6a (with rollups) box that has been very happy for a couple years now. As far as our users are concerned all is well but for the last few weeks none of our reporting software will deliver mail through the server. By this I mean I have an old copy of WhatsUp running on another box. It should send warning messages to a group on my exchange box using SMTP. It no longer functions. I also noticed that if I telnet to port 25 on the exchange box it takes a good 10 - 20 seconds to respond to me. Once it responds initially it's fine. I suspect that this delay is causing my reporting software to time out. I cranked up the amount of simultaneous connections that are allowed on the server slightly but that didn't seem to have any affect. Anyone have any idea of why this might be happening and what I might try to fix it? Thanks!

Re: Exchange 5.5 Licensing
I believe that starting with Exchange 2003 you can buy CALs on a per-mailbox or per-device basis; but as always, ask your MS rep to be sure. In the case of the company I work for it's actually cheaper to license on a per-user since lots of users access their mailboxes from multiple machines. - Dave - Original Message - From: Matt Hoffman [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Exchange Discussions [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, June 26, 2003 11:25 AM Subject: RE: Exchange 5.5 Licensing This certainly could have changed, since Microsoft is famouse for altering their licensing arrangements. At the time I bought CALs, we had to purchase them one per user. If MS really has made this change, then this is definitely a good thing.

RE: Not Open Relay, but...
H...well it would be for me, but then again, I'm not sure I have the qualifications to answer that question. We are a small company (and getting smaller by the day!) of roughly 600 people. If you're a big company, you may be getting significantly larger numbers of messages sitting in you IMS queue. Our current time-out period for attempting delivery is 72 hours. Until that time expires, they WILL sit in the IMS queue awaiting delivery. Then they will generate a non-delivery notification to your Admin mailbox. I would probably get a lot more of those sitting in my queue, if I didn't have so many spam domains in my block list. That and the fact that I delete them at least once a day. -Original Message- From: Woods, Tony [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, June 26, 2003 1:37 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Not Open Relay, but...

Re: Not Open Relay, but...
Your mail system is accepting a mail for an invalid address (i.e. [EMAIL PROTECTED]), and since it couldn't deliver it it's trying to send a message back to the sender telling them it couldn't deliver the message. But in this case, the spammer forged the sender address, so your mail server is sending you NDRs because it can't send the original NDR back to the spoofed address. Make sense? There's not much you can do with Exchange 5.5 to avoid this situation unless the spammer is using a single IP address that you can block from being able to send mail into your system. - Dave - Original Message - From: Woods, Tony [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Exchange Discussions [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, June 26, 2003 4:26 PM Subject: RE: Not Open Relay, but...

Thanks, Jim. Just so I'm clear, it's not uncommon to have over 10,000 messages sitting in the IMS queue after 8hrs? I have another site where the IMS has hardly any messages sitting in there so this is why I am concerned. What if I changed the MX record's IP address, would that help slow it down a little or are they just using dfg.com?

Tony, Open up the properties page of your IMS Connection, go to the Internet Mail tab and click on the Notifications... button. My guess would be that you have the Always send notifications when non-delivery reports are generated radio button clicked. If that is the case, select the second choice and uncheck the options that you don't want. I receive anywhere from 3,000 to 10,000 ndrs a day, from spammers trying to brute force their spam through the system. I track the NDRs to create a spreadsheet for management, showing them the exponential growth of spam and the load it is placing on the servers, in order to justify new servers.

I've tested via telnet and from home using Outlook Express and it always replies with 550 so I think I'm good there. Just the amount of mail is insane. I came in this morning at there's over 10,000 in the IMS Queue. I guess eventually it will slow down... Thanks to all.

For #3, what you are seeing is spammer trying to find valid addresses @dfg.com by simply guessing addresses and trying them, your best bet would be to turn off the notification on your IMS for E-mail address could not be found. For #2, yes they will sit in the queue until they are delivered or just time out. For #1, are you sure you're not an open relay?

Hi John, Is this in response to my question #3? If so, does everyone receive over 2000 messages every hour in the 'Admin' mailbox with a subject line of 'Notification: Inbound Mail Failure? I understand getting some but over 2000 an hour? Each of these messages is addressed to [EMAIL PROTECTED] or whatever. It's just random letters in front of the domain name @dfg.com and there's just a ton of them. Thanks for any ideas, all. Cheers, Tony

Re: Black List Recommendation
We use Spamcop as primary and NJABL as secondary. The most agile and accurate is Spamcop and you can expect to get rid of 90+% of Spam using that list. /Luis On 27 Jun 2003 at 12:03, Greg Marr wrote: Hi Am currently evaluating GFIs MailEssentials anti-spam product and would like to try the Black List functionality.

Exchange 2003 with Exchange 2000
Is there a howto or white paper on setting up an Exchange 2003 as a second server to an Exchange 2000 server? I was hoping to set it up and move a couple mailboxes over to it to start playing with it. Any gotchas or look out fors that I should know about?
