Gift - Something that is bestowed voluntarily and without compensation
Award - To grant as merited or due 
Compensation - Something, such as money, given or received as payment or
reparation, as for a service or loss.

I don't see MVP status as being a gift. Seems to me that it would be an
award for people that spend their own time (cost of time is greater than
hard cash) to help others understand technology. In many cases I have seen
most of the MVP's give their time and efforts to helping people understand
what they are already running (Exchange) in Exchange related newsgroups and
lists.

How am I changing position? I have always stated that the problem with MVP
is that it is a gift. If you paid for it and it were not a gift, then it is
something that you PAID for, just like MCSE or any other certification.
Explain how this is a change in my point of view?

RE: Mail Processing by Exchange vs. SendMail

2003-12-12 Thread Schwartz, Jim
How much mail can Exchange process? A lot.

If you understand how an e-mail is handled with Exchange SMTP services, you
can design the server (include memory, processor and disk layout) you can
make it fly.

I stress tested the IIS SMTP to see what I could get out of it. I rated the
box at over 500k messages an hour before I ran out of equipment to send and
receive e-mail. The gateway box wasn't stressed very hard so I don't know
what the real upper limit was. I would guess somewhere in the 800k to 1m
range. [1]

Sendmail is overkill for 99.9% of the systems out there. Not because of
speed, but because of it's complexity. With the Sendmail configuration
files, I can do just about anything to an e-mail or with an e-mail that you
can think of. The issue is the complexity. Most organizations don't need
that kind of granularity in their configurations and want a simple potato
passer for the gateway.

Tell your *nix person to educate himself or have a nice warm cup...

[1] I wish that Microsoft would take some of the queue utilities that
Exchange gives you and allow me to add them just to IIS SMTP. Then it could
be a viable gateway solution.

I'm assuming the external interface on the SW has a public IP and the
internal interface has a private IP and you are attempting to NAT you
connection.
In the Sonicwall, under the advanced setting, you should have it setup under
one-to-one NAT the public/private translation for your Exchange server. Then
under Access have a rule to allow port 25 to that private address.

Firewall forwards all SMTP to this server which has the IMC, has worked fine

RE: OWA Design Question

2003-11-25 Thread Schwartz, Jim
You can use ISA. It's not that hard to set up and works well. Added bonus
for those with the need is the ability to add RSA authentication to the ISA
server. Users must use a key fob to authenticate before they even get to the
OWA boxes. You can also use another type of proxy server (Squid for
instance) to proxy the connection from the DMZ.

If you publish OWA through ISA, all you need to open outbound to the

If you place a FE server in the DMZ you still have to open 80 and/or 443
outbound to the Internet and open 389, 3268, 88, 53, 135, 1024+ back to your
BE Exchange servers.

At least that is the way I understand it.

I am sitting here reading the PDF "Using Microsoft Exchange 2000 Front-End

internet for my company.  Currently we have an Exchange 5.5 OWA server in a
DMZ with port 443 open from the internet or external side and on the
internal side open to the DC's and Exchange ServersI know, I know not
very secure.The document gives me several scenarios but the ones I am
interested in are Front-End Server in a Perimeter Network and Advance
Firewall in a Perimeter Network.

With the Front-End scenario I have to open 389, 3268, 88, 53, 135, 1024+ or
statically map the RPC service Port.  This seems easy enough to do but it
sucks having to swiss cheese the firewall.  Of course Microsoft recommends
the Advance Firewall Scenario (ISA Server)


My question is has anyone setup ISA in a DMZ?  Is it better?  What are the
benefits?  I still have to have ports 389, 88, 53, and 443 open for
authentication and such so what do I gain except for not having to open up
RPC ports?  I am looking at this from the perspective of talking management
into spending the $3000 on the software.belts are tight so there really
has to be a good reason.  And we already have a proxy server and management
doesn't want to replace it so this would be specific to making OWA access
more secure.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

IIRC they've changed their pricing structure from per seat to per proc.

Huge difference. Why don't you call them and find out.

A Challenge responded to - Review of "Achieving Process Profitabi lity"

2003-09-29 Thread Schwartz, Jim
I received and read this book (closer to a booklet than a book) Friday. The
author does a fairly good job of translating some basic TQM principles as
they relate to IT. The book is an easy read but could have used more real
world scenarios to emphasize certain points. As far as the philosophy of the
author goes, I feel that Greg has highlighted some of the failures that many
IT people make in their assumptions as to their role in an organization. (I
won't get into great detail as I'll leave other people who may be interested
in forming their own opinions.) I've called it the Mainframe Mentality in
the past. Build it and they will come has no place in IT anymore. His
assumptions as to role in IT I've feel he got it partially correct, but
missed some things as well. Automation of manual process is important, but
the I in IT does stand for something that the author failed to talk about at
all. There is another area that I feel that was missed entirely. The
importance of have a strong, flexible and reliable infrastructure. Most of
the focus at the end of the book was (to me) from the point of view of an
application developer and most of the points are valid. However, developers
must have an strong infrastructure to develop on. This is one of the most
difficult concepts for IT to sell to the money managers.

Overall I'd rate the booklet "Fair". For those not familiar with TQM or ITIL
it is a basic introduction to some of those concepts. For those who what to
delve deeper into those concepts, I'd suggest reading "The Deming Management
Method" and "The 5 Pillars of TQM". The ITIL website also has information on
IT Service Management. http://www.ogc.gov.uk/index.asp?id=2261

As long as you don't buy into the great white lie of SAN's, you're golden.

That lie is that there's no performance hit created by taking a single large
array and carving it into a bunch of LUNs - there's a physics issue there.
Other than that, its just a bunch of disks, just like the SCSI attached ones
you probably have now.

Good ones are difficult to find and even more difficult to pry away from
their current employer. After interviewing Exchange "admins" over the last
few years I've found that most people that put Exchange experience on their
resume have added or deleted a mailbox, or maybe built a server or two. Out
of five I interviewed one time, only 1 could give me the steps performed by
Exchange to route an e-mail message to the internet. I wasn't even asking

Microsoft Exchange - Ex engineers are a dime a dozen, MS has Excellent

file to access thier data (ever have a Notes user loose that file and you
realize there is no backup - a NIGHTMARE!) Exchange does not have the file

definately worth going to Exchange. Especially that Domino server is the

RE: .Pst on OWA?

2003-06-20 Thread Schwartz, Jim
A... A financial institution.

One of the nice features of KVS is the ability to allow your compliance
officers to search only those mailboxes for the areas that they are
responsible for. It cuts way down on the false positives that will happen
with more common words. It also allows you to push the responsibility of
looking at the data to the owners of the data. You only need to provide them
with the proper access rights and if you manage it well, that means very
little work for you in the long run.

One of the largest problems that I encounter during an investigation or
discovery is that I have no idea what they are looking for. I'm not a
securities specialist. I'm not a investment banker. I'm not even a financial
person. I can't decide what is appropriate for the workplace and what isn't.
This allows you to let them manage that and you have time to do your job.

I've actually downloaded their demo but I haven't got around to playing with

It hasn't really been an administrative nightmare ever since we moved the
pst files to a central location.  Though it does need a lot of cooperation
from the user community and intervention from IT.

That's fine. PST's aren't a good way to comply with those regulations
though, because then you still lose both administrative control of that data
as well as the ability to back it up.

There's this cool product from Kvault that is designed to address those
issues though...

RE: Scan Gateway

2003-06-20 Thread Schwartz, Jim
Actually it would be. You could turn off AV scanning on your Exchange
servers (for a short time) while the issue was corrected with a bad virus
definition. You could also allow the mail traffic to pass directly to your
Exchange servers if the gateway goes bad. Same process for a path of upgrade
issue. You have it even easier as the gateway product and the Exchange AV
product are from 2 vendors. One of them is bound to catch the virus even if
the other fails.

My Environment:-
The first stage of external email scan will be on the DMZ (Trend Micro
Server Gateway). Email flow from Internet to Firewall and pass to Trend
Server in DMZ to do the content scanning and email will be flow back to the
Firewall again, and then flow into the Internal Net (Exchange Server) and go
through the second AV Scan inside the Exch Server. 

Exchange Server itself located inside the Internal Net will have AV
Exchange(Symantec) installed to be the second scanning stage or to be the
internally email scan.


So in this scenario, your 2 points cant be justify because I still have one
AV in the Exchange that might have your 2 points problem.

Subject: RE: Scan Gateway


Currently we're the same way.
There are two other advantages of having a dedicated gateway scanner. It's
typical for the AV vendors to have one or two bad virus definition files a
year. I've seen them totally hose up a box when they're real bad. If you
have that at the gateway, your internal mail flow will still work while you
repair the gateway. People may notice that they are not getting internet
mail, but won't be screaming as loud as if you took their mailbox server off
line.

Second advantage is upgrade path. Since the gateway is a separate box and
passes all mail via SMTP, you can upgrade the antivirus or the Exchange
system separately from each other without impact. If you needed to install a
hotfix for Exchange or the OS, you can do so without having the extra
variable of the antivirus product in the mix.

Costs are always a concern with the ducks, but the AV gateway doesn't need
to be a huge server. We ran a dual 500mhz, 500GB RAM with two disk arrays on
our inbound server and were handling around 100k messages a day on it. It
rated about 5000 an hour before we upgraded to a larger server. That server
may run you about 3-4k depending on your vendor but you probably wouldn't
need that something even that large.

It would depend on who you are e-mailing to. If you have a limited amount of
customers or clients PGP or S/MIME is not a bad implementation. If you have
many customers that would not be able to set up PGP for whatever reason you
should look at something that will take the message and send it to a web
site. The customer would get a message that there is an e-mail waiting for
them on your web site and they would go get it. The data would then be
transmitted over SSL which a standard web browser can handle. Tumbleweed has
a secure redirect product that would handle this for you. It also has the
added benefit of being able to handle other forms of encryption and message
retention.

transmitted over SSL which a standard web browser can handle. Tumbleweed has
a secure redirect product that would handle this for you. It also has the
added benefit of being able to handle other forms of encryption and message
retention.

Ok, my eyes are going crossed. 
I have been trying to figure out a decent way to encrypt all outbound email
from our company. This is for compliance with HIPAA. Does anyone happen to
have any ideas?

I have googled and haven't found a product that looks right. I have searched
for "exchange 2000 encryption", "email encryption", etc. Help?

TIA

Mike

RE: E2K OWA & timeouts

2003-02-14 Thread Schwartz, Jim
We've front ended ours with an ISA server with RSA authentication. Timeouts
can be set to either x minutes of non-usage (or will be once they fix a
little bug) or x minutes of usage. Once it's timed out, you're done. There
is also a piece of sample code that they give you that can wipe the session
cookie out of memory so once the user hits the logoff page, they're done.

Thanks for trying but at the end of that Q article:

NOTE: The above setting has to do with the connection between the client and
the server and it does not affect authentication in any way. When you set
the user context time-out to a number, even if this time-out passes, the
client browser will still have the user's credentials cached and the user
will not be prompted for credentials..

And everyone could do everything that they do now in terms of helping people
WITHOUT the MVP "status". So what is the fascination with it? It is ego or
something, it mystifies me. I keep hearing "MVP's are so helpful", yadda
yadda. But there is nothing stopping you from doing exactly the same things
that you are doing WITHOUT being an MVP.

Lawyers have actual ethics, written down and agreed to by everyone in the
profession and if you violate those ethics, there are consequences, just ask
Bill Clinton. There is nothing even close in IT. People may have personal
their own personal ethics, but who cares?

As long as the IT industry is tied to vendors and tools, it will continue to
be polarized and it will continue to be a trade. The MVP program is part of
this problem. It is not the entire part, but I think that it is much more
insidious than going to a trade show and picking up free stuff, because it
is the granting of a title. That, in and of itself is a big problem.

RE: Shortcuts to Outlook objects

2003-02-07 Thread Schwartz, Jim
You are so wrong that it pains me to even read your e-mail. I've gotten more
critical feedback from those folks that are MVP's than most others. Not just
generalities that Outlook doesn't have very good backwards compatibility,
but why the development team did that and why they think they were wrong.
They've said it in public forums as well. Ask a lawyer if they've received
anything for free and they'll answer, damn right they have. I'm stunned that
you would say that I have no ethics or are you just throwing around
generalities in a trollish way? A vendor can give me a shirt, or a coffee
mug doesn't mean that I won't call them to the carpet on their product. Just
ask ANY of my vendors. If there is something wrong with their product or it
doesn't do something I want it to do, then I let them know to fix their BAS.

The title of MVP doesn't mean Microsoft pet. It's given to those people that
have demonstrated knowledge in the field and a willingness to help others
get the most from the product. If Chris or Ed or Missy or the Andy's or
Martin or Robert or Tom tells me that something works or doesn't work, I
know it's from their belief in what they've seen in the product. Not from
something that the vendor told them to say. I've never seen one of them not
"tell it like it is". I've seen them be more critical of Microsoft than most
anyone else.

So, you are going to tell me that you have never received any sort of
compensation at all for being an MVP. I am talking T-Shirts, plastic toys,
anything and even the TITLE of MVP. If you receive ANY FORM OF COMPENSATION,
it is a conflict of interest. Plain and simple. Ask any lawyer if they are
allowed to accept ANYTHING for free. The answer is absolutely not.

In IT, it is a different story and the difference is because IT is a trade
and lawyers are professionals. As long as we in IT continue to operate in
this mode, we will be seen as trades-people, the air-conditioning repair guy
or plumber, not professionals.

The MVP program is a horrible, horrible insidious device that will help keep
IT at the trade level. Plus, once you accept the title, you are now the
property of the vendor. You will consciously or unconsciously have a bias
toward that vendor and keeping that title. This means that you will not
"tell it like it is" in public and instead voice concerns in private to your

If you all want to be trades-people instead of professionals, then keep on

RE: The SEC is killing me.

2003-01-16 Thread Schwartz, Jim
That would depend on who the contact is with. If you are talking about SEC
Rule 240.17a-4 then you may need to retain conversations. The real
difference to me is that e-mail is legally considered a document and that IM
is no different from a telephone conversation. Should we wire tap all the
phones and record them for violations?

Doing a google search under SEC Rule 240.17a-4 will pop up a lot of
information on the subject.

RE: More OT: Hitachi SAN

2002-12-19 Thread Schwartz, Jim
Thirded. The other benefit is the lower costs. A BCV volume for EMC is
essentially a mirror of your existing set of spindles (which are probably
mirrored). The DB is shut down and the mirror is broken and mounted
elsewhere for backup to tape. In order to remount that mirror for the next
day, you'll need to shut down the DB again. You can create a fourth mirror
to mount as you are breaking the first one. That's 4 sets of spindles to
handle the disk needs. That can get really expensive and you'll still need
to verify the integrity of the DB before you back it up to tape.

Backing it up to disk can take fewer disks as you are generally more
concerned with volume size rather than spindle I/O's.

I don't know about you, but shutting down my Exchange databases takes
significantly longer than a minute. Granted, they're still predominantly
Ex5.5, but its not a one minute process. Might be if I did it daily, but I
can't, since we run 24x7.

Personally, I still think the best way to do it is to use a backup to disk
option and rip that to tape, or use an agent based backup.

EMC has been working with Oracle closely to do "instant" backups. I haven't

RE: the IBM Shark

2002-12-06 Thread Schwartz, Jim
You keep thinking your happy thoughts. 

Who is going to be running your SAN? If you find yourself arguing the
difference between spindles and storage space, you're going to have a grand
old time.

The architecture for the large SAN vendors was based on the limitations in
the IBM 3xxx mainframe systems. It was more cost effective to place large
amounts of cache in the storage system to accommodate its predictable, read
IO operations. You'll find that the typical answer to any issue you have
with a large SAN is to throw more hardware at it.

RE: Disable external email privileges

2002-11-15 Thread Schwartz, Jim
The students are employed by the school so it's a business e-mail address
not the student one. They have every right to do what they want.

Yes, you can use the encapsulated x.400 address but in this case I don't
think anyone would make the effort to do that.

Yea but the question is would they? If their students then it's safe to
assume (well in the US anyways) that their university provides them with
e-mail addresses. Now I'm also assuming that he's disabling their external
e-mail address cause he doesn't want them mailing their friends ect ect. But
wouldn't they be using their universities e-mail system to do this anyways?
With webmail systems and all isn't what he's doing more trouble then it's
worth? Unless of course he's doing it so the students can't contact clients.
But if that was the case is he going to take away their phone privileges
too? What type of employee relationship is this going to produce? Is it more
harmful to the company to do this and give the students a bad impression of
the place then it is to allow access?

RE: Sent Item

2002-11-13 Thread Schwartz, Jim
I don't do much admin work any more. (quack) Deleted Items Retention solves
99.9% of the issues with someone deleting something unintentionally. Most of
the time the user hits delete and immediately has knows that they needed
that message. Our helpdesk (least cost) can walk them through how to restore
the item themselves. A simple published document stating that mail is
restorable for free up to x (whatever DIR is set to) and will cost x after
that. Any item older than whatever your tape rotation is set to is not
available for restore. The chargeback to the users is to cover the costs of
the administrators time. Nobody really seems to mind this, as long as it
spelled out in advance.

This presumes that the function of "e-mail" remains stagnant.  If it
doesn't, the "pure hardware" box has to chase a moving target, which is
not an easy thing to do.

Doesn't just about every company that has a "hardware" firewall also
have a firewall administrator?

So Roger, does this mean that you are getting ready for the sobering
messages?

First, let me say that I am not privy to any advanced product planning
in what I am about to say, and am only speculating.  I fully expect to
see a pure hardware version of an entry level Exchange Server within ten
years. The design goal would have to be such that a professional sys
admin is not required.  My guess is that initially it would be targeted
at that same mid-tier that you identify, but perhaps a bit lower (25-100
seats) at first. It has to go that way.  If you look at what is
happening in networking as a whole, you have companies like LinkSys and
D-Link that are almost totally focused on idiot proof boxes for basic
functionality.  Intel, Nortel and more recently Microsoft have all gone
chasing after this space as well.  It only makes sense that this space
will grow up to include a line of mini-blade or little box headless
servers that do all of the basics (mail, telephony, web hosting, etc.).
General purpose storage and print servicing is already happening.

As we all know, little machines grow up to become big machines.  20
years from now, it is not unreasonable to project that even quite large
systems will be simple hardware modules that you add to your pile of
network pieces.

Simple. Its not cost effective to outsourse at the levels they target.
They missed the boat from day one.

There is a relative break even point for having your own "IT" staff,
generally in the 25-75 user range, depending on what your company
actually does. More than 100 or so, and you really need someone. Once
you've got someone inhouse, they tend to have to be a jack-of-all-trades
type, and do a lot of fumbling through. But the job gets done.

Traditionally, an NT box with Exchange 5.5 Standard wasn't really that
expensive - you could probably do that for <$10k. Win2k with E2k has
raised the prices a bit, but not exhorbinantly such. With leasing
options, that server could be a few hundred a month.

Like any service provider, the good fruit is in the middle of the tree,
not the low hanging stuff. SO they tended to target 500 person plus
orgs. This 600-ish person company has 8 sysadmins - we have enough time
to manage Exchange. Without it, maybe we'd have one less headcount, but
I'd bet that the headcount loss isn't drastically different than the
cost of 600 users' outsourced mail needs.

Now, the other side of this equation is that email is a core business
need for most companies, and isn't that hard to at least get running[1].
More specialized things, like e-commerce and line of business apps make
more sense in a managed environment. Email never did.

RE: Using a PST for 'overflow'

2002-11-07 Thread Schwartz, Jim
Many organizations see messaging as a transport system or a communication
system and fail to see the significant body of knowledge that is captured in
the e-mails. The problem arises with this data not being organized into
easily searchable information. Archival solutions are really a patch on top
of this, allowing the organization to index and search for the information
that they need.

I think you're correct in thinking that most companies don't see the cost of
implementing an archival solution being lower than the benefit of being able
to mine the information out of the messages. Where you will see some
movement is the in the regulatory and other legal compliance issues. Being
able to discover all messages relating to an incident, a business decision,
customer trades, etc. etc. and getting this information to lawyers or
regulators is fast becoming an important piece of business. Companies that
must implement these types of solutions would be smart to leverage their
investment in archival solutions to also provide knowledge management.

Subject: RE: Using a PST for 'overflow'


I have ony found one solution to this type of problem and it is called an
Email Archival system. I have no idea why this type of a solution is not
more popular. It gets the information out of the Exchange stores and off
user's hard drives and onto permanent storage on CD's or DVD's. The systems
they have now integrate quite well with Exchange, provide advanced security
capabilities and include full-text searching capabilities. And users can
access the systems via a web browser.

Why more people do not use these systems is anyone's guess. Apparently most
email admins out there are content with draconian storage policies or
catering to users like poor Russell who is personally buring CD's. It can
all be automated and you can have the best of all worlds. Email Archival
systems folks, they have been around for a long time and work quite well.

I recommend them to nearly every client that I work for because there is so
much business knowledge in email that it is almost criminal the way some
companies blast it from their systems after only a week or two. If they
actually understood and appreciated the amount of knowledge and business
process information that they were losing, they would never do such an
incredibly stupid thing.

And Craig, I have to disagree with you about user provided storage.
Individuals have consistently proven that they simply cannot store, organize
and process large amounts of data. If I received as much snail mail as
email, my entire house would be full of unorganized stacks of crap. Proper
storage of business information should reside on business systems, not on
personally provided storage. Centralization and automation of storage is
incredibly more efficient and productive than individual users storing their
own information.

RE: RBL's

2002-11-05 Thread Schwartz, Jim
Hello! [1]

Frankly. I run the mail system for a business. Decisions about who and what
arrives into my mail systems is BUSINESS decision. The folks who run the RBL
systems are technologists. They make TECHNOLOGY decisions. They have no idea
about my business needs so I would never allow them to make technological
decisions regarding who can send me mail. I've found that the administrators
that like the RBL's tend to be very technical without a lick of business
sense. Their theory is that it is better to reject a few good mail messages
than to receive any spam. This is in complete opposite of the intent of the
SMTP RFC's. Be generous in what you receive and conservative in what you
send.

RBL's are fine if you want to block mail at your home or if you have a
personal web page. If you're a business, you'd better have a better plan in
place than RBL.

Subject: Re: RBL's


I'll jump in here.

Thus far RBL's have been run by individuals. Seems some had axes to grind,
others refused to consider that their understanding of the RFCs was wrong
and others were just plain incompetent or lazy. An acquaintance of mine had
a dispute with one such list and wound up having to write the author of the
current RFC on SMTP mail (since Mr. Postel is long since deceased) to get
the guy to listen to reason.

In theory, they are a good idea. In practice they can, and have, caused more
problems then they are worth.

So, here's a real-world example for you:

DomainA has inadvertently left it's SMTP mail server wide open for relay. A
hacker finds and exploits them. A RBL list is alerted and DomainA is
blacklisted.
DomainB frequently does business, as a buyer, with DomainA. DomainB
subscribes to the aforementioned RBL.
DomainB sends a message to his sales rep at DomainA who duly and promply
replies. The reply never gets there because of the RBL. The sales rep
forwards the NDR to his admin.
Said admin contacts the RBL admin. He learns what happens and closes the
relay.

What Should Happen:
Said admin contacts RBL admin. RBL admin tests and sees problem is fixed.
DomainA removed from RBL
What HAS Happened too often in the past:
Said admin contacts RBL admin. Gets ignored. Or RBL admin's test is flawed.
Or maybe he just doesn't care. Or maybe he wants money (extortion).

Net result of the second scenario: purchase order goes to another company
and DomainA is screwed.

RE: VPN breaks Outlook

2002-10-30 Thread Schwartz, Jim
For WinNT 4.0 in H-node - Q142309   Q119493 is a good article describing the
different node types.

NetBIOS name cache
WINS server - 3 queries 1.5 second timeout.
B-node broadcast - 3 broadcasts with 750ms timeout.
LMHOSTS file
HOSTS file
DNS server

I thought I read somewhere that Win2K reverses the WINS and DNS portion of

I think its still the same in W2k as well - an h-node WINS client will check
hosts and a DNS server last even if you have enabled "DNS for Windows Name
Resolution" to resolve *netbios* names. Specific apps like Outlook, etc. of
course use hosts and DNS first. 
Heck, I could be wrong, I havent looked it up. The only thing I am sure

RE: RBL's

2002-10-24 Thread Schwartz, Jim
Ah, yes. I recall that incident.

If you choose to use a RBL, read very carefully what the criteria is to be
placed on their lists. As Darcy said before, some of these folks block
entire netblocks. There is one or two that I know of that have blocked the
entire Sprintlink netblock. That's something like 2 million IP addresses.
All because one or two spammers somewhere in that mess. RBL's are fine if
you are running your own mail server at home. For businesses that depend on
e-mail for their communication, why would you place the decision on who can
send to your domain into the hands of some mail Nazi? I've found many of the
people that run RBL's are not interested in stopping SPAM, they are
interested in having the internet working the way they want it to. (i.e. Dr.
Cummings) We even went to the point of contacting the author of the RFC to
clarify the proper place to reject a mail message. The answer from the
RBL'ers? We don't care.

That's why I won't use them. Ever.

More likely a combination of b) and a fundamental lack of understanding of
how the RBL they have chosen works with regards to managing their black hole
lists. Purusal of the archives with regards to Mr. Schwartz and Dr. Cumming
about this time last year should provide some valuable insight to the issues
with RBLs in general.

That being said, I'm fairly impressed with the Spamcop.net RBL - they
provide documentation of their blocked senders via the web, and are very
quick to retest and remove if the problem has been solved.

You forgot the quack.

There have been numerous discussions regarding content filtering and how it
works. Decide what you are willing to risk in lost mail, or additional
manpower resources versus what you are trying to accomplish. Then go find
the tool that meets those requirements.

Looking a tools before defining your needs is bass ackwards.

Yeah. If the latency is very low you should be ok, but if they're doing
other traffic as well, you might be cutting it close.

There are 50-60 users here on a Frame T1 and when the code monkeys start

A user is trying send an email to a recipient @uconnvm.uconn.edu and it is

been queued for delivery later. I checked the domain against the
http://www.zmailer.org/mxverify.html and find that there does not appear to
be any MX records for the domain. When I ran Sam Spade's SMTP tool the
recipient address is ok. I believe I recall from a post to the list some
time ago that Exchange will not deliver mail to systems that do not contain
MX records.

If this correct, is there anyway to resolve this short of getting Uconn to
put an MX record in there DNS servers.  I can already hear there response to

Then do you log on the relay server? SMTP is all about ownership of the
message. Once the Exchange server hands the message off, it no longer cares
about it. Unless of course you believe in the new e-mail tracking program

RE: How to block UCE at MSX55-IMC level

2002-06-21 Thread Schwartz, Jim

You would need to add another layer to that. Block sender to recipient. One
mans UCE may be what someone else wants to see. It would be a pretty
intensive application to do those types of lookups. All you are doing at the
point is centralizing the delete junk mail rule that users may have set up.
And it still wouldn't work for those spamers that change their send to
address each mail bombing round.

RE: Veritas Netbackup error on MSX 5.5

2002-06-13 Thread Schwartz, Jim

Well, your TCO just went up by doing BLB. The cost for the extra tapes, the
lost time that the drives are backing up data that has already been backed
up when they could be backing up something else(opportunity costs) and staff
costs to restore and item that could have been undeleted by the user. Be an
even bigger hero to your CEO/CFO by stop doing BLB.

Set a deleted items retention period of 30 days. Write a policy stating that
post 30 days, you have an SLA of 24 hours to restore a mailbox or piece of
mail. Anyone that needs to have a mailbox/message restored will be charged
$150 for the restore. That will cut down on the number of people who want
you to restore the joke they deleted 3 months ago.

You are relying on a crutch to support what amounts to a poor policy and
implementation.

So you know - 2 mailboxes and nobody gets BLB.

Backup exec is one of the if not the best backup software for exchange brick

up when I recovered his beloved folder in minutes :-). I love the mailbox
backup level too, it save me once, too (an admin screwed up with exmerge,

Suffice it to say, blb is a great feature poorly implemented (by the backup

of _normal_ dir/info store backup, then I will go back to doing full blb
again. This is just humble opinion only.

Limit the number of connections and limit the size of the mail. Connection
reset. Bye-bye.

If you're so concerned with not "exposing" your Exchange server directly to
the internet, then place a relay server behind your firewall to accept mail
from External sources and then pass the mail to your Exchange servers.
Anyone trying to get to your relaying server has to go through the firewall
and that traffic can be analyzed for any sort of attack that someone may
think up (not likely, SMTP has been around for a while). By putting the
relaying server in the DMZ (look up what a DMZ does) you have mail sitting
out there where it shouldn't be. Any server in the DMZ should be considered
expendable. Mail sitting on an expendable server keeps me up at night.

How the hell can a server be taken down with a DoS to port 25?  You don't
open the entire exchange server to the internet, only a dumba$$ would do
that.  All that is required for exchange having external access is port 25.

Your theory suggests someone would actually open the entire server up to the
world.  As a side note, if I want to DoS you, I'm not going to "just" pick
your mail server, I'm going to pick your entire network.

Andy & Chris --

I guess our needs here are somehwat different, perhaps.  We don't use
Exchange in the DMZ (that's ridiculous overkill) but we do have relays out
there ... and we lock 'em down to specific ports internally as well.  I
disagree that it would be "just as harmful as in the DMZ", though ...
perform a DoS on a box in the DMZ, you only kill communications through that
one box.  DoS the Exchange Server, bam -- you just lost ALL email services.
Granted, we've got more systems to support, but that's the price we pay for
the security and redundancy that comes with it.

And Chris, you asked to "demonstrate an exploit" ... we prefer to not wait
for one to be demonstrated, but rather do the best we can to preemptively
protect ourselves before one is found: use relays in the DMZ, and mix relay
products so what exploits one may not be expoitable on another.  Have
different flavors of antivirus protection at the relay, Exchange, and at the
client.

Like I said before though, it ain't right for everybody ... it takes some
bank to make it happen.  Our requirements here are a little more anal than
others'.

Subject: RE: lesser of the evils - ssl or smtp

How the hell can a server be taken down with a DoS to port 25?  You don't
open the entire exchange server to the internet, only a dumba$$ would do
that.  All that is required for exchange having external access is port 25.

Your theory suggests someone would actually open the entire server up to the
world.  As a side note, if I want to DoS you, I'm not going to "just" pick
your mail server, I'm going to pick your entire network.

Andy & Chris --

I guess our needs here are somehwat different, perhaps.  We don't use
Exchange in the DMZ (that's ridiculous overkill) but we do have relays out
there ... and we lock 'em down to specific ports internally as well.  I
disagree that it would be "just as harmful as in the DMZ", though ...
perform a DoS on a box in the DMZ, you only kill communications through that
one box.  DoS the Exchange Server, bam -- you just lost ALL email services.
Granted, we've got more systems to support, but that's the price we pay for
the security and redundancy that comes with it.

And Chris, you asked to "demonstrate an exploit" ... we prefer to not wait
for one to be demonstrated, but rather do the best we can to preemptively
protect ourselves before one is found: use relays in the DMZ, and mix relay
products so what exploits one may not be expoitable on another.  Have
different flavors of antivirus protection at the relay, Exchange, and at the
client.

Like I said before though, it ain't right for everybody ... it takes some
bank to make it happen.  Our requirements here are a little more anal than
others'.

A mailbox is not a container, but rather a view of a subset of the objects
within a container having some common attribute (i.e. belong to a specific
mailbox).  Deleting a mailbox is NOT the same thing as deleting a container
and its contents.  Deleting a mailbox merely deletes a view and nulls out
the appropriate attributes.  Deleting a mailbox does not cause a message
object to be expunged, at least not directly.

Think of it like this.  If a TV show is only available on cable channel 89
and you eliminate 100% of the subscribers that had the ability to view
channel 89, that does not destroy the source.  It might lead to a garbage
collection exercise that will cause a purge to occur, but deleting the views
is not deleting the data.

A) Many folks don't want HTML email.
B) A 10K graphic just eats up space, makes downloading of email slow, and
generally is useless to anyone but the sender. It's a cute trick, but that's

Neither will ESE98 being ported to SQL Server nor does the next version of
Exchange have an SQL Server based database engine.

As I mentioned already. Please check that information with the source you

I am using Exchange Server 5.5
I am using an application that establishes an SMTP connection to my SMTP
server and sends an SMTP message to the outside world. The problem is the
message will not be delivered. It appears that the SMTP server will not see
the recipient in its local site and then bounce the message back
undeliverable. Of course the recipient isn't in the local site because it is
an outside email address.

Example of what I am doing.

Telnet mail.stainsafe.com 25

Subject: test message


This comes back undeliverable almost immediately. It appears to me that the
SMTP server is not trying to send the message out, it is looking for the
recipient locally and then rejecting it because the recipient doesn't exist.
How can I have the SMTP server send the message to the MX server of
notmydomain.com? If I am confusing you all I apologize. Thanks for the help.

All,

Our corporate standards include an NT4 domain and Exchange 5.5 (and has for
several years now).  We have 13 plants located in various countries around
the world.  Our corporate HQ (located in Finland) has hired a new IS
director who has given us a directive that, in lieu of the anticipated
AD/Win2K/E2K rollout, we will be changing our backend infrastructure to
novell e-directory/lotus notes/linux servers!

Now, I am as open-minded as the next guy about the prospect of padding my
resume with all sorts of new applications, but that seems a bit drastic.
Apparently, it all comes down to money.  

Besides, I love my E55sp4 server; it NEVER gives me any problems.

Has anyone else experienced this?  Which would be more painful short-term?
long-term?: the AD/Win2K/E2K or Novell/Lotus/Linux?  I get the impression
that this is a knee-jerk reaction to Microsoft licensing costs.  

Any thoughts, experiences, or warnings concerning this migration would be
appreciated.   

Sincerely,
Joseph Smith

Thanks Chris for opening me up on this. So, now if I need to configure
someone's Outlook using Internet E-mail profile using POP3/SMTP , I wonder
how would the Outlook Client will now get the organization's e-mail
addresses ?

E2K has no directory of its own, thus nothing to connect to via LDAP. You'll
need to point the client machines to the same directory that Exchange uses.

Two reasons possible.
An orphaned object still exists for that address in the DL that they are

RE: Routing group bandwidth requirements

2002-05-24 Thread Schwartz, Jim

I guess the point of it would be YMMV. Depending on your traffic patterns,
your need to regulate traffic between sites by size and or times or to
throttle the connection. With E2K you put in your best guess and if it's not
what you need, it's not that hard to change it. We have two main data
centers with dual OC3's between them. I was going to have all the servers in
one great big routing group and if the network folks whine about all the
chatter, then I'll split them in two.

Exchange 2000 resource kit chapter 31 "Reliable always on connectivity is
more important that high bandwdth" this is the only reference I could
find.

There is also a white paper from MS but all it says is "Generally, servers
within a routing group are connected by a high speed network"

I have seen the text in the E2k reskit repeated more times than the
whitepaper.

There must be some stats out there!?

RE: OT Upgrade question

2002-05-21 Thread Schwartz, Jim

If your management likes Gartner reports, they suggest that the "must move
off 5.5 date" to be 2Q04.

When you think about non-support, you should also factor in that more and
more technical folks are moving to E2K. The list of people that can run a
5.5 organization is going to get shorter and they'll have a harder time
replacing you when you go work for a company that will upgrade. Just ask the
mainframers how hard a time they had finding qualified Cobol programmers
during Y2K.

We're a smaller

have been very stable (knock on wood).

My question is how do you approach upper management asking to upgrade to
Windows and Exchange 2000 when they have the "if it ain't broke, don't fix
it" mentality?  I've already tried the "additional functionality" route, but
they're not buying it.

OK.
A Dr. wants to send medical records to the CDC or other informational
gathering body. The e-mail needs to be verified that it does not violate
HIPAA, Graham-Leach-Bliley, and or the Code of Federal Regulations Title 21

RE: I need to send emails as another ....

2002-04-19 Thread Schwartz, Jim

What about a workflow/compliance application? For example, a message is sent
by user A to [EMAIL PROTECTED] The message needs to be checked for
compliance to state/federal laws. (i.e. can't say guarantee when talking
about investments) The compliance officer then needs to pass the message
along as if he never read it. It should look as if user A sent the message.

Then use MS SMTP Server. Use something like CDONTS to create an email and
send it that way. There is no excuse for a product to need that kind of
access to an Exchange server.

Depending on why your doing this/how.

If you are writing an application the user does some action to send this
e-mail.  Which I hope is why your sending e-mails on behalf of someone else.
Use the ShellExecute shell32.dll which will call the default e-mail program.

If this is for an application, I hope you've got very strong
management/legal support for what you're doing.  Your users probably won't
like the idea of some automated process sending out emails impersonating
them.

Hello everyone:


I need to send emails as another (not on behalf of) from my personal Outlook

when users create an email.
