RE: Exchange access through a firewall
The exec's won't put up with it. So when your Exchange server and all the exec stuff within suddenly belongs to someone else, you can console them with the fact that they did once-upon-a-time get their e-mails 2 or 3 seconds (or whatever) faster over their much-preferred configuration. My apologies to Aaron and all for another no-real-tech-help-but-more-rant posting. Just wanted to drop this note since I'm in the process of reading the book Hackers Beware (Eric Cole, SANS Institute) and IMHO the intro and initial chapters of this book would probably be some good ammo for those fighting the good fight within a management or organizational thought process that places security concerns at or near the bottom of the priority list. The entire book is top notch, but the intro in particular is closer to exec-speak(1). Get this book (if you can or if you have not already - and there are several other great sources of info as you know), gather up all the comments like those from Bruce and the other very knowledgeable admins on this and any other related lists that you may subscribe to (all the credible answers to their inevitable why should we bother line of questioning), and let your boss know what a really, really, really bad idea it is to open up your server like this. If you have to do it ther way, go down screaming. I piss off someone here almost daily by doing the right thing or complaining about the wrong choices (OK, so I only got a C in Organizational Behavior 101 but my conscience is clear and ultimately the users as a whole do benefit). Strap on the ice-packs and save them from themselves. I know, easier said than done. What the hell, a career change now and then isn't so bad. BTW, anybody out there hiring? (just kidding - but my ice packs are melting...) walkin' the tightrope... randy. (1) Further apologies to those very well-informed execs who do hold security in a higher regard (some of whom frequent this list and other security-realted lists and have helped me out a great deal). -Original Message- From: Briggs, Bruce [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: November 7, 2001 4:08 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Exchange access through a firewall I would suggest finding out about the VPN performance problems. VPN should not be so much slower than native. Watchguard offers both an IPSEC and a PPTP VPN option. Doing it this way is asking for the client's Exchange server to be hacked. Bruce Briggs System Administration State University of NY -Original Message- From: Aaron Kennedy [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, November 07, 2001 3:32 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Exchange access through a firewall The executives at one of our clients do a fair number of road-trips and have become accustomed to being able to use Outlook to access their Exchange server directly over the internet. This is not my preferred solution (it was set up on their old Exchange 5.5 server by one of their previous support companies), but the execs say that VPN is so much slower that they won't put up with it. We recently upgraded their 5.5 server to 2000 and I set up the 2000 server to allow access through the firewall according to the MS documentation (Q270836). I have opened the necessary ports (port 135, 3 ports manually configured in the registry, and port 1026 for authentication), but I have found that when attempting to connect directly from any internet connection that numerous time-outs occur (Retry/Work Offline dialog pops up). Usually, if you press Retry about 3 times (sometimes as many as 15), it does finally connect and everything seems ok after that. Sometimes it connects first try. Watching the logs on the firewall, it seems that the connection starts to initialize (traffic on the RFR Interface port, sometimes the IS Interface port), but then dies. Usually, after trying two or three times, we finally see traffic on all 5 ports (1026 seems to be the key, obviously) and suddenly everything connects and works. I don't believe this is a firewall issue as the logging on the firewall seems to indicate the traffic isn't even reaching it and we are having no other internet connectivity issues there. The client has a single Exchange 2000 server (SP1) on Win2k Server (SP2). They have a Watchguard Firebox II firewall. The clients are running Win98 or Win2k and Outlook 2000 with various SR/hotfixes applied. All PCs exhibit the same problem. I have tried this over cable modem, DSL, and dial-up connections. The dial-up connections seem a little worse, but they all have the same problem.

Weird OWA happenings?
OWA is working as it should as far as mail flow should go. However, it won't let you add appointments to your calendar. When you try to do this it will return the error: Unable to perform the operation. There are no problems creating appointments from Outlook. Also, the address book is unable to find some of the people in the GAL. As an example, lets say I am having problems finding Jane Doe. Searching only the last name and first name fields one at a time return no results. But if I search by her first name in the Display Name field the correct results are returned. Some people it will find no matter the search criteria, others you have to play around with like what was described above. No problems adding contacts, etc. Any thoughts out there?

That all makes sense to me. Where I get confused is the SMTPVS and the SMTPC. Do you need the SMTPC? Specifically I know you had to have the Address Space configured in 5.5 on the IMS. But this is now a separate component on Exchange 2K. Also my internal domain name is different from my external e-mail addresses. Internal is corp.local.com external is widgets.com. The MX record has been setup correctly by the ISP, and I have successfully tested that the external interface of the ISA server is listening on ports 25 and 110 by telneting to them. The clients e-mail addresses have been changed in AD (Default Policy) in Exchange System Manager to reflect their Internet e-mail addresses. What should I be looking for now? I can send out from [EMAIL PROTECTED] but when I reply, it never makes it back. E-mail address of reply is correct. I have a feeling it is something misconfigured in the SMTPC, but I just dont know. I have searched TechNet but so far nothing useful. TIA Chris Bodnar List Charter and FAQ at: http://www.sunbelt-software.com/exchange_list_charter.htm
Strange IMS problem
I'm baffled! All NT 4.0 network, Exchange 5.5 with sp4, server NT 4 with sp6. Our email comes through our parent company so the email address is [EMAIL PROTECTED] We have a partial T1 connection our site with our parent. Here is what's happening. External Incoming SMTP comes in fine. External Outgoing goes out, but extremely slow. Our IMS Queue has a lot of emails in it. Yesterday, when I would click on details of a message in the queue, it would say host unreachable. It was weird because I could email out to a colleges domain and a yahoo account, but not a hotmail or aol account. This morning, I noticed the hotmail emails finally went out after hours of sitting in the queue. Apparently, all the emails willgo out, but it takes 1 - 3 hours. Looking in event viewer, the only error that appears to be applicable is an IMC error under application. The error message is event ID 4132, Technet shows that exact event and error message and suggests incorrect information in the Routing Address tab of the Connected Sites property page of the Interent Mail Connector. I checked and all the information is correct. DNS is working properly. Any suggestion of theories would be helpful and appreciated.

RE: send as power
If you are using an Exchange 5.5 with Outlook, you can set it up through Outlook instead of at the server. Highlight the highest part of your mailbox (ex. Outlook Today %username%) Right-click on it and select properties of Outlook Today Mailbox... Click on the permissions tab and select the user that you would like to supply the information with... You can give them any rights you would like including full ownership if necessary. When that person opens your mailbox up, they should be able to do what you give them access to. Obviously, they will need to add the From field to their header and put your name into it. Hope this helps.

Tracking relayed messages
Hi guy's. Sorry this email appears long-winded but most of it is the header information from the email I'm having problems with. My V.P. has been receiving weird email that is not addressed to him and he is asking for an explanation. I don't even know how this mail gets to my server considering the domain is not ours. It's sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] which is his username but is not our domain, so I don't know why my server receives it. I did a whois on 4.21.122.5 which gives the following info: [No name] (NSB7429-HST) Hostname: NS1.STOREYOURWEBPAGES.COM Address: 4.21.122.5 System: ? running ?

Mailbox thinks it is a custom recipient
Title: Mailbox thinks it is a custom recipient I have an Exchange server that has been restored, long story but the DS and IS both went belly up. Couldn't restore DS initially so reinstalled Exchange into same Org, Site and server had the same name then used the ADC to populate the Exchange DS. Worked a treat, almost, unfortunately a few recipients are listed in the DS as custom recipients even though they were mailboxes. If you look under the IS and the properties on the mailbox you can see it has both items and data. But you can get at it because the DS thinks it is a custom recipient. The client has already run the consistency checker. Has anyone seen this behaviour before, would it be possible to change the recipient from custom recipient to mailbox via raw mode?. Any advice would be appreciated TIA Paul Bendall Delphis Consulting Plc Tel: +(44) 020 7916 0200 Fax:+(44) 020 7916 1620 paul.bendall@delphis.net www.delphis.net List Charter and FAQ at: http://www.sunbelt-software.com/exchange_list_charter.htm

It could be something to do with the client or mail server that is being used. Come to think of it I HAVE seen it before. My ex-wife used to send mails with everyone BCC'd.

RE: Exchange SMTP Routing
We are running Exch 5.5 sp4 on a mix of 2k sp1 and nt4 sp6. We have a couple of dual processor nt4 sp6 boxes in the DMZ with port 25 from outside open to them only. These servers have Trend InterScan Virus Wall and Trend InterScan E-Manager for Virus protection and content/attachment filtering. They relay all inbound email to our Exchange Org only after it has been scanned and content has been checked. We find it works very well for us.

5.6.1 Body type not supported by Remote Host
Hi all, I have a problem that I was wondering if you could help with. I'm running a single NT/2000 domain behind an ISA firewall on 2000 and Exchange 5.5 on NT. Through ISA I have email forwarded to a separate box running 2000 SMTP with IIS 5.0 for email screening. It is a feature with ISA that allows you to screen email to block certain attachments, or keywords, or from certain domains, etc. The 2000 box then forwards on the email to my Exchange box and from there to my users running Outlook 2000. The problem I'm having is that several emails a day to several different users are not getting through form the outside, and come back with this error 'Diagnostic-Code: smtp;554 5.6.1 Body type not supported by Remote Host'. Also in the Badmail queue on the 2000 box I get the following error 'This is a MIME-formatted message. Portions of this message may be unreadable without a MIME-capable mail program.' The problem stops if I don't relay through the 2000 SMTP server, so I don't think the problem is with Exchange or my Outlook clients. I can't find anything in the Knowledge Base, but in my research I did find from another list where someone was receiving the same error messages though a similar set-up in which he had a 2000 SMTP (IIS 5.0) server set up to relay email from a DMZ into a NT box running Exchange 5.5 (IIS 4.0). I didn't see where he ever found a resolution though. This would lead me to believe that my problem is not directly caused by the ISA server. Does anyone have any ideas? Does anyone have a similar setup that runs successfully, or is there just compatibility issues with 2000 SMTP on IIS 5.0 to NT Exchange 5.5 on IIS 4.0?

Re: Note vs Exch thingy again
Almost forgot. You must have the .id file in the notes folder with the one you used on the original install. As you go to add a DB (user) you will be able to browse the domino server to find the DB you want. The domino server then uses the local .id file to authenticate the user to use the DB on the domino server after this takes place you can add what ever password you want on the note side. Once they are set up it not hard for the users to switch between DBs, just click on the icon enter your password and away they go.

RE: Exchange SMTP Routing
If by administering you mean re-engineering vital components and eliminating silly potential buffer overflow possibilities etc then I'm right there with you buddy! NT is not written well enough from the ground up. You can administer it til the cows come home. Don't get me wrong, it's decent. But there are flavours of Unix written and audited line by line from the ground up with the intention of not being open to any security vulnerability. NT can't compare to that. It was written to be mass sold and user friendly. It's not just the OS, but the way applications must work atop it can also expose NT. You can make it pretty secure, no doubt.

Smart. I always put an AV gateway in front of any mail server. Plus the gateway can queue mail if the server goes down or during service work. -Original Message- From: Andrew Duey [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, November 09, 2001 2:21 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Exchange SMTP Routing Paranoid? --Andrew Duey, MCSE -Original Message- From: Zangara, Jim [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, November 09, 2001 4:15 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Exchange SMTP Routing We use NAV for gateways as a mail relay that sends to exchange running antigen and then to the desktops with nav CE Jim Zangara, MCSE+I IT Manager Special Projects Engineer Premiere Radio Networks A Division of Clear Channel Communications 15260 Ventura Blvd Suite 500 Sherman Oaks, CA 91403 Direct: (818) 461-8620 mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Why don't they just make mouse flavored cat food? -- Steven Wright -Original Message- From: Leblanc, Shawn [ mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, November 09, 2001 2:08 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Exchange SMTP Routing I agree - without exception. -Original Message- From: Drewski [ mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, November 09, 2001 1:44 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Exchange SMTP Routing NT Servers can be just as secure as Unix servers, if you apply the proper patches.

We are looking at building a server that just does SMTP relay\filtering\scanning and put it in our DMZ. We are also looking at putting Trend virus scanning on the box so that our mail is scanned by two different AntiVirus companies before delivered to the users desktops. Our logic behind this is sometimes Trend comes out with a pattern a little quicker than Symantec, so we do both. We also do attachment filtering with Norton For Exchange. I guess I have a couple of questions about this; 1. What is everyone else using for SMTP relay. What software, location of server, etc. 2. What is the best SMTP relay software\hardware? Should I just use another install of Exchange on a regular server`? Any suggestions or relevant web sites will be greatly appreciated.
