Security tab of the Receive connector on the edge server

2008-01-17 Thread Zayan, Abdullah
Hello everybody

I just installed an Edge server 2k7 test server and tried to configure
the tarpitting interval as per microsoft URL:

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa998898.aspx
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa998898.aspx  

My question is how can we view the Security tab of the Receive connector
on the edge server.
Thanks in advance.

Did they empty their Deleted Items folder after cleaning up their 
Inbox/Mailbox?  If they didn't then they are still using the same amount of 
space, just in a different folder.

HTH.

Subject: Mailbox size discrepency

Recently I have a user who has hit his mailbox quota. He cleaned up
his Inbox/mailbox and continues to get warning messages.

We use cached mode with our Outlook clients and when I had them look
at the mailbox folder size with the Outlook properties the local copy
is 10MB samller than the server data size and I can't account for why
there should be this difference. I even had the user remove cache
mode, delete the OST and then enabled cache mode again but there still
is a 10 MB difference.

I thought the OST cached the whole mailbox local but this does not
seem to be the case.

Mailbox limits

2008-01-17 Thread Whitson, Garry
Running Exchange Server 2007

When OWA users reach mailbox limits they are being denied access to their 
mailboxes.
Is this by design or is there a setting I am over looking?

Re: [JUNK] problem with messagelabs

2008-01-17 Thread M Bruyere
Hi,
   At my site I use Ninja to spam filter. It can't be a station that
is infected because the public IP is dedicated to the mail server
using a static NAT. The workstations are actually using another IP to
hit the internet.

As for the headers, the only data I had from MessageLabs was the 3
samples I pasted in the original post. I searched the message-id and
some keywords on my exchange servers but can't find anything so they
are not sent through our server.

Thanks.

 Subject: [JUNK] problem with messagelabs

 Hi guys,
   I  have a problem sending messages to a site (our HQ) that
 is protected by Messagelabs. In fact the problem is that they are
 throttling our connections because they say that we re sending spam.
 They provided the following samples to prove their point. After
 looking at all the configs and all, I can't see how we could be
 sending those. I suspect that the informations are spoofed a la joe
 job and that's what affect us. Anyone can give me any inputs on how
 to deal with this because I can't find anything wrong on our system
 and they keep throttling over and over limiting the contacts from our
 site ti the HQ, which is at the very least annoying.

 If you have any ideas that could help me to stop this from happening,
 it would be very appreciated.

 Please note that the domain name has been changed. You can contact me

Are your Exchange stores finishing nightly maintenance every night?

You don't say how LARGE the mailbox is. For a large mailbox, I would
consider 10 MB trivial. For a small one, it may or may not be significant.

Hi All, 
 
Here is one of my infamous, genuine 100% commercial messages !   ;-D 
 
The subject essentially said it all. We built a very high quality
appliance,
with carrier-grade software, using a Dell server. We're quite excited to
be able 
to offer this now, in addition to the Ninja Email  Security software
product itself. 
 
The pricing is -very- competitive. Check out the microsite we built for
our new 'Blade':

Warm regards,

PS, If you want to play with the actual interface, you need to fill out
the
'request eval' form, and in the auto-return email will be a link with a 
username and password so you can see how it looks. A world of 
difference compared to the 'cuda.

Well, if the headers prove that the messages are not coming via your
mail server, you should be quite justified in requesting that
messagelabs unblock you and perhaps whitelist you as being part of the
same company.

My perception of messagelabs is not getting any better.

 Hi,
 Ninja uses RBLs and is also discarding spams. As for the
 Messagelabs guys, I hardly see why thay are still doing business with
 them... They are not willing to help a lot. They were supposed to
 investigate and create a report of their findings and the result was

 That's why I turned myself to this list to try to get outside thoughts

Evidently.  Our emails to customers were being bounced.  The sample
they forwarded was an obviously forged header with an IP Address
somewhere in Europe.  Admittedly this was early last year so things
may have changed.  My contact with them was through the our intended
recipient company opening a case with them and then conferencing me in
later in the process.

I think it took about a day to resolve the matter.

Subject: [JUNK] problem with messagelabs
   
Hi guys,
  I  have a problem sending messages to a site (our HQ)
 that
is protected by Messagelabs. In fact the problem is that they are
throttling our connections because they say that we re sending
 spam.
They provided the following samples to prove their point. After
looking at all the configs and all, I can't see how we could be
sending those. I suspect that the informations are spoofed a la
 joe
job and that's what affect us. Anyone can give me any inputs on
 how
to deal with this because I can't find anything wrong on our
 system
and they keep throttling over and over limiting the contacts from
  our
site ti the HQ, which is at the very least annoying.
   
If you have any ideas that could help me to stop this from
  happening,
it would be very appreciated.
   
Please note that the domain name has been changed. You can contact
  me
off list if you need/want more specific details.

We had a similar issue with Message labs once.  A discussion involving

result in us being unblocked.  We are a moderately large company and
though polite, I was obviously irritated.  Not sure if that helped or

 Well, if the headers prove that the messages are not coming via your

 messagelabs unblock you and perhaps whitelist you as being part of the

 Hi,
 Ninja uses RBLs and is also discarding spams. As for the
 Messagelabs guys, I hardly see why thay are still doing business with
 them... They are not willing to help a lot. They were supposed to
 investigate and create a report of their findings and the result was
 the 3 spam sample I posted... what an investigation and report.
 That's why I turned myself to this list to try to get outside thoughts
 about the situations.

  Hi,
 At my site I use Ninja to spam filter. It can't be a station that
  is infected because the public IP is dedicated to the mail server
  using a static NAT. The workstations are actually using another IP
to
  hit the internet.
 
  As for the headers, the only data I had from MessageLabs was the 3
  samples I pasted in the original post. I searched the message-id and
  some keywords on my exchange servers but can't find anything so they
  are not sent through our server.

The subject essentially said it all. We built a very high quality

2008-01-17 Thread Alex Eckelberry
I think in general you'll find that Ninja has everything you need,
nothing you don't.  Feature comparison checklists abound, but the
product is focused on delivering high quality email filtering.  As we
continue development, more bells and whistles will come out. 
 
To me, the standout features on this product is a) the pricing
(personally, I think it's way too low, and we don't make much on these
things), b) Dell hardware, with 4-hour onsite service free with every
box and b) the quality of the underlying engines.

Hi All, 

 

Here is one of my infamous, genuine 100% commercial messages !   ;-D 

 

The subject essentially said it all. We built a very high quality
appliance,

with carrier-grade software, using a Dell server. We're quite excited to
be able 

to offer this now, in addition to the Ninja Email  Security software
product itself. 

 

The pricing is -very- competitive. Check out the microsite we built for
our new 'Blade':

Warm regards,

 

Stu

 

PS, If you want to play with the actual interface, you need to fill out
the

'request eval' form, and in the auto-return email will be a link with a 

username and password so you can see how it looks. A world of 

difference compared to the 'cuda.

Hi,
That's my thoughts, they're showing the FQDN in the headers, not
the IP so I'm wondering how they are blocking stuff. I asked my co
worker (which is in the HQ) to call hem again and request that the IP
only was taken care of, not the FQDN. It's a forgery of the headers.

 Here is one of my infamous, genuine 100% commercial messages !   ;-D





 The subject essentially said it all. We built a very high quality appliance,


 with carrier-grade software, using a Dell server. We're quite excited to be
 able


 to offer this now, in addition to the Ninja Email  Security software product
 itself.





 The pricing is -very- competitive. Check out the microsite we built for our
 new 'Blade':





 http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/rd/?id=080117BL-NINJABLADE





 Warm regards,





 Stu





 PS, If you want to play with the actual interface, you need to fill out the


 'request eval' form, and in the auto-return email will be a link with a


 username and password so you can see how it looks. A world of


 difference compared to the 'cuda.

RE: Sunbelt Announces Ninja Blade - The Barracuda Killer

2008-01-17 Thread Jason Gurtz
 Not to disparage, but a couple of friends and  went through the
 interface of the online demo and were surprised to find a bunch of
 abilities not there.
 
 Is the demo up-to-date with the production release?

I read through the complete datasheet and this looks pretty low end from a
software feature standpoint.  As long as it doesn't NDR by default on
dictionary attacks I could recommend this as a 'cuda replacement.

It will probably be fine for small and the low-end medium size shops, but
they will have to add a lot more functionality to compete successfully
with the Ironports and the Can-It Pros of the world.  Non customizable
file extension filtering is the most glaring defect I see.  There's a lot
more that seems similarly limited.  Docs are decent, but it would be nice
to see some wording in the setup docs to steer the clueless towards better
practices such as NOT having disclaimers.  Low end shops would probably
also appreciate some exchange hand holding WRT smart hosts setup and
etc...

I guess (for around 20 aliases) $1500 would be reasonable for the 500
model w/ a year of 24x7x365 support and 4hr replacement.  Maybe $500 per
year after that for support.

my 2¢

Alex,

 

I just read your blog.  Does the blade support or have any future plans
to support failover/clustering/or load balancing ?  Encryption partner? 

 

The product looks great, I'm not a fan whatsoever of cuda's, granted
this is targeted at a smaller market than I am in, but I would give the
blade a hard look if I were to have an opportunity to again.

 

Good luck with the product.

Michael,

We started out with this first iteration of the GUI, and provide
the basic required features right out of the box. That feature 
set will be expanded upon significantly over time and we're happy
to get suggestions. There -will- be a lot more to tweak, but Blade 
as it is was put together to have it up and running in 10 minutes.

Let us know what you'd like to see added?

Good points. Other best practices - no catchall accounts, and no NDRs
for non-existent accounts, or rather, just issue a 5xx response and
don't accept the message.

 I read through the complete datasheet and this looks pretty low end from a
 software feature standpoint.  As long as it doesn't NDR by default on
 dictionary attacks I could recommend this as a 'cuda replacement.

 It will probably be fine for small and the low-end medium size shops, but
 they will have to add a lot more functionality to compete successfully
 with the Ironports and the Can-It Pros of the world.  Non customizable
 file extension filtering is the most glaring defect I see.  There's a lot
 more that seems similarly limited.  Docs are decent, but it would be nice
 to see some wording in the setup docs to steer the clueless towards better
 practices such as NOT having disclaimers.  Low end shops would probably
 also appreciate some exchange hand holding WRT smart hosts setup and
 etc...

 I guess (for around 20 aliases) $1500 would be reasonable for the 500
 model w/ a year of 24x7x365 support and 4hr replacement.  Maybe $500 per
 year after that for support.

Sure, but you'll need a 2003 server to install it on. It's not typically part

Isn't it called Forefront Security now or something?

As long as OWA is freely accessible, it WILL be attacked.  If the business
owners want it to stop, OWA _HAS_ to not be available publicly.  An SSL
VPN would take care of this, as it forces the authentication through a web
accessible technology before anything else can occur.  ISA would do
something similar.  In both cases, you're just moving the point of attack.

Maybe... What I got from the documentation is that you could only choose
from 3 pre-configured levels (medium being the most ideal, yet missing
many).  It's nice to offer preconfigured options but it really should be a
user-definable, delimited string.  It's certainly possible that I missed
that this feature is available.

RE: Sunbelt Announces Ninja Blade - The Barracuda Killer

2008-01-17 Thread Alex Eckelberry
Jason, all great points.  You're going to see a lot of feature enhancements 
coming out in updates over the coming months.  

There's a vast amount of functionality in the MTA that we simply haven't 
exposed through the UI.  It's a matter of us exposing it, testing it, and then 
shipping it.  

Incidentally, this is the MTA that's under-the-hood:

Subject: RE: Sunbelt Announces Ninja Blade - The Barracuda Killer

 Not to disparage, but a couple of friends and  went through the 
 interface of the online demo and were surprised to find a bunch of 
 abilities not there.
 
 Is the demo up-to-date with the production release?

I read through the complete datasheet and this looks pretty low end from a 
software feature standpoint.  As long as it doesn't NDR by default on 
dictionary attacks I could recommend this as a 'cuda replacement.

It will probably be fine for small and the low-end medium size shops, but they 
will have to add a lot more functionality to compete successfully with the 
Ironports and the Can-It Pros of the world.  Non customizable file extension 
filtering is the most glaring defect I see.  There's a lot more that seems 
similarly limited.  Docs are decent, but it would be nice to see some wording 
in the setup docs to steer the clueless towards better practices such as NOT 
having disclaimers.  Low end shops would probably also appreciate some exchange 
hand holding WRT smart hosts setup and etc...

I guess (for around 20 aliases) $1500 would be reasonable for the 500 model w/ 
a year of 24x7x365 support and 4hr replacement.  Maybe $500 per year after that 
for support.

Hi Jason,

It does not NDR a dictionary attack. At the connection layer, the
security and functionality is essentially identical to that supported in
the MessageSystems carrier suite MTA, since it's the same product (we
figured, if it's good enough for Verizon)

Not all the functionality is exposed in the UI, partly because this is
the first release, and partly because we locked down the config to keep
it manageable without having a full time admin on it.

It's not a bad product.  :) So what Lunix [sic] are you running?

...and what's the official word on the default NDR settings?

While you're at it adding features, you might want to iptables drop any
connections from the BOGON list and the Spamhaus DROP list.  That'll
free
up the cpu by an order of magnitude.

BTW, you will make the Spamhaus people happy if you offer the zen list
instead when people pick both xbl and sbl (and you get the pbl for
free).
You'll make them even happier if you donate every year and will gain
community goodwill and higher sales.

Of note is barracuda who has and continues to bite, stamp on, throw
away,
and generally defecate on all the various hands that feed them...
Ignore
their history at your peril.

I think Stu knows very well what it's like when you piss off the OS

Put it on a non-standard port and distribute shortcuts via logon
scripting.  That'll stop most of the worms at least (is it still codered
you're seeing).  You could also invest in an IPS box to put in front of
everything (e.g. TippingPoint, SecureWorks iSensor, etc...).

 Not sure I get that, the product supports such a feature.

Maybe... What I got from the documentation is that you could only choose
from 3 pre-configured levels (medium being the most ideal, yet missing

a
user-definable, delimited string.  It's certainly possible that I missed

Re: Mailbox Count

2008-01-17 Thread Steven Peck
Servers are on three year lease.  The other Exchange admin and I timed
it this way on purpose.  If they won't let us upgrade, we can add new
systems into the cluster with little interruption.  Routing group
servers are easier.  Well, we knew E2k7 was going to be a swing
upgrade so we planned to use this as a 'best time is _now_' argument.
We had some other delayed projects and a surprise project that ate
into our initial window, but we have high hopes management will let
us.  Our direct manager is convinced, when we get a more realistic
view of the near term workload then business justifications will go
forth :)

I don't think it's trivial at all.

Good practice. :-)

Thanks, I'll give it a try.

It probably seems like a trivial exercise, but it's helping me learn the
workings of Powershell, and helped me figure whan a problem started that
looked like it was going to be a tedious process using the gui.

Slightly denser (untested but seems right):

gci MSGTRK*.log -name |% {
$src_evt_ht = @{}

$_.Name
gc $_ | 
foreach {
if ($_[0] -neq #){
$rec = $_ -split ,

$src_evt_ht.[($rec[7] + . + $rec[8])] += 1
}
}

write-host
$src_evt_ht
}

Thanks!  That makes it much easier!

$logfiles = gci MSGTRK*.log
foreach ($logfile in $logfiles){

$src_evt_ht = @{}

gc $logfile |% {

if ($_ -notmatch ^\#.+$){
$rec = $_ -split ,

$source = $rec[7]
$event_id = $rec[8]


$src_evt = $source + . + $event_id

$src_evt_ht.$src_evt += 1

}
}

$logfile.name
write-host `n
$src_evt_ht

Associative arrays (hash tables) support Lazy Add. So this

if ($src_evt_ht.$src_evt){$src_evt_ht.$src_evt =
[int]$src_evt_ht.$src_evt + 1}
else {$src_evt_ht.add($src_evt,1)}

just needs to be

$src_evt_ht[$src_evt] += 1

Something I was messing with last night:

$logfiles = gci MSGTRK*.log
foreach ($logfile in $logfiles){

$src_evt_ht = @{}

gc $logfile |% {

if ($_ -notmatch ^\#.+$){
$rec = $_ -split ,

$source = $rec[7]
$event_id = $rec[8]


$src_evt = $source + . + $event_id
if ($src_evt_ht.$src_evt){$src_evt_ht.$src_evt =
[int]$src_evt_ht.$src_evt + 1}
else {$src_evt_ht.add($src_evt,1)}
}
}

$logfile.name
write-host `n
$src_evt_ht


}

 Yes there are three preconfigured levels, but you can add or delete 
 any attachment rule within any of those levels.

Excellent, maybe a UI improvement is in order for a future release, this
should be an obvious and easy to change feature (like right there on
that page with the three levels as a 4th option with a customize...
button).

Thanks for the quick replies, that's a good sign. :)

RE: Sunbelt Announces Ninja Blade - The Barracuda Killer

2008-01-17 Thread gsweers
Time will tell William, if it works as well as Ninja and removes it off
the servers for larger installs than by jove...its good enough.. If
there support is as good as they are with everything else than I am not
worried about getting issues resolved.  Will it be as refined as
Ironport in rev 1...nah... but for the price am I willing to deal with
functionality over form...yes.

 

I do remember some reviews saying that the Motorola Q would be the BB
killer...We all know how that turned out.  I think Sunbelt will have a
better turn out here by far than that.
