RE: Vista SP1

[Alex Eckelberry]

FYI:

Updates that Microsoft Corp. began feeding Windows Vista users last week
to prep PCs for next month's release of Service Pack 1 (SP1) have
crippled some machines, according to messages posted to the company's
support site. 

Microsoft said it is investigating the reports. 

Last Tuesday, Microsoft started sending Vista users two final
prerequisite updates that are required before SP1 can be installed in
March. The updates to the operating system's install components were
delivered via Windows Updates, which automatically downloaded and
installed them on the majority of Vista machines. 

Users quickly started squawking.

HELP PLEASE - Exchange 2003 Site Connector queue not working...

[Kurt Buff]

All,

As the message above states, the Site Connector queue is filling -
this is the one on the new UK server. When I highlight the queue, the
additional queue information box at the bottom says "Unable to bind to
the destination server in DNS."

Last night I moved all of the mailboxes from the 5.5 box over, no issues.

I've done some web searching, and checked the settings for the Default
SMTP Virtual Server, under the Delivery/Advanced/Configure/External
DNS field, and it's empty. I tried adding in the IP address of the
local DC, and no go.

At the console of the new Exchange box I did 'dcdiag /s:newdc' and it
passed all tests except for some ntfrs errors that came about because
of lost connectivity this morning.

I noticed that I didn't have SP2 installed, so installed it a few
minutes ago, and rebooted the box for luck - after notifying users, of
course.

Funny thing is, this site is receiving mail, it just can't send it -
to anywhere.

The 5.5 box was set up to route all mail to the US for disposition,
and this box should do the same.

Iv'e downloladed and am currently running the ntfrsdiag tool anyway,
just for fun, but I'm not seeing any reasons why mail isn't heading
out.

Many Thanks,

Kurt

question about having two domains in exchange

[Thomas Gonzalez]

So, I've been working for the Girl Scouts for over 18 months and the
organization is interesting. With that said, since I have been here, we
had a domain (sagirlscouts.org) and this domain has been plagued with
SPAM and at one point was relaying. The previous IT person was removed
since the organization was blacklisted.

 

Now we have a new domain and I do not see very much spam hitting that
domain. However, upper management decided we should keep the old domain.
I'm ok with that decision, however my dilemma is this: I have been
monitoring all the packets coming into the exchange server, (one server,
no front or back end) and the old domain is constantly being spammed
hard. 

 

Is there some type of tool or different setup I can do to prevent the
spam being forwarded onto the users? Management requested we have both
domains appended, but this is stressing out the server.

 

In a nutshell this is what we have:

 

Exchange 2K3 SP2

Win 2K3 SP1

IMF enabled

Trend Exchange Suite 8

 

 

TIA,

Re: Email flow monitor

[Matt Plahtinsky]

HostMonitor can do this.  http://www.ks-soft.net/hostmon.eng/index.htm

HostMonitor is like Server Alive or Nagios.  One of its test is call
Server Relay.  You can set it up to relay a message through your mail
system to an external account and then it will check the external
account to see if the message has arrived.  You can create a bunch of
relay rules to check outgoing and incoming mail flow.   It's not free
but close to it.  Very cheep for the functionality.

RE: GreyListing...

[Roger Wright]

Thanks for the pointer to JEP(S)!   I've installed it on my church's
system and so far it's having a big impact on the spam (>84% blocked),
so much so that IMF is only seeing about 5% of what it used to see even
with my aggressive 6 (archive) and 4 (junk mail) settings.  

I'm not thoroughly convinced that greylisting is ideal, but it does work
and JEP(S) makes it easy and free to implement.

RE: SP1 installed today

[Miller Bonnie L .]

Interesting-thanks for the info!  Did you change your connector back when done, 
or did you leave it alone?  I've left mine alone (changed) and things seem to 
be working so far.

Yes on the rules-the OWA error started right after SP1 and not before.  We have 
a Barracuda spam filter appliance in front of Exchange-no Postfix.  The rules 
look fine in Outlook 2007 though, so I'm not sure where the problem is yet.  I 
tried adding some permissions on my account in AD, but I'm not seeing any 
change.  Since it's just me so far and the rules work in Outlook, I'll probably 
keep trying things as I get time.  I have logged on from a couple different 
computers too, so I'm sure it's in my mailbox/CAS settings somewhere.  Trying 
not to rush into cleanrules =)

One more thing I found (not mentioned below) is with the fact that SP1 disables 
remote streaming backups.  Had to add a reg value to get Ultrabac working again 
(from Google, looks like this issue also affects BackupExec and other 3rd-party 
backup software): 
http://exchange-genie.blogspot.com/2007/08/exchange-2007-sp1-and-streaming-backup.html.
  It was mentioned in the release notes, so I was watching for this one this 
morning.

Upgraded our single E2k7 server (all roles) to SP1 this morning-just thought

that failed the install until figuring it out.

Turned out someone else has seen the issue:

Tried the cmd-line upgrade install as suggested, but it failed again.  I then 
used get-receiveconnector to document our connectors and then 
set-receiveconnector to change the fqdn parameter it was barking about (it was 
previously set to our external domain name rather than internal).  After 
changing that, the install ran without errors.  I've not changed the fqdn value 
back, and as far as I can see, everything is working properly except for one 
thing (next) that is unrelated.  Anyone have any comments on what this value

Only other issue I'm seeing right now is an error in OWA when I try and view my

We had numerous successful configurations of MS Exchange servers (2003 and
2007), along with successful configurations of MS XP Pro SP2 with Outlook
2003 and 2007 accessing host MS Exchange system via RPC over HTTPs.

 

We now have attempted to configure such access to MS Exchange 2007 via MS
Outlook 2007 and connection cannot be established.  We have tried both Vista
Home and Vista Pro as os.

 

We have performed some research online and all we find is circles and no
success.

 

Anyone hitting this issue?  Any suggestions?

Email not working for a few users

[vbs]

I have a few users who are not recieving email from external email senders.
Internally they can be emailed fine. Below is the response returned to one
sender and the second is a response back to my GMAIL account.

Email to Primary SMTP address

Reporting-MTA: dns;bay0-omc1-s6.bay0.hotmail.com

Email to secondary address (alias)



This is an automatically generated Delivery Status Notification

 Delivery to the following recipient failed permanently:



[EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>



Technical details of permanent failure:

PERM_FAILURE: SMTP Error (state 13): 550 5.7.1 Unable to relay for alias
@mycci.com <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>





In the first case the email was address to the users primary SMTP address
and in the second it was to an alias (alternate address). In the second
scenario I was able to send and email to that users primary SMTP address. It
is only the alternate that is bouncing



I do not understand how this can be a relay issue as it our domain should
accept any inbound email but more puzzeling why it only happens to a few of
my users.



Any ideas or insights would be appreciated

RE: question about having two domains in exchange

[Roger Wright]

Take a look a JEP(S) as mentioned here yesterday:  http://proxmea.com.
It allows you to implement greylisting within 10 minutes of
installation.  That and use of RBLs like zen.spamhaus.org will help
tremendously.

But for a complete anti-spam solution, I like Sunbelt Messaging Ninja.

If you can't afford a gateway service (google, for example, is $3 per user

Hi, 
I need to setup a calendar (Exchange 2003 SP2 & Outlook 2003 SP3) that can
automatically book itself when a group of users schedules meetings.

I think there was an auto accept agent to do this?  
But I need my users to be able do "invite" the room to their meeting from a
Blackberry device. 
And if I remember correctly... the auto accept agent requires that you
invite the room as a "resource: room or equipment".  But there is no way to
do this on a Blackberry.

I can invite the room (if it is in the GAL), but I can't specify "resource:
room or equipment" on the BB. 
Any suggestions? 

Do most people use the auto accept agent? Or is there a different (or
better) way to book conference rooms for meetings?

Thanks very much!

Updates that Microsoft Corp. began feeding Windows Vista users last week
to prep PCs for next month's release of Service Pack 1 (SP1) have
crippled some machines, according to messages posted to the company's

Microsoft said it is investigating the reports. 

Last Tuesday, Microsoft started sending Vista users two final
prerequisite updates that are required before SP1 can be installed in
March. The updates to the operating system's install components were
delivered via Windows Updates, which automatically downloaded and
installed them on the majority of Vista machines. 

Users quickly started squawking.

All,

As the message above states, the Site Connector queue is filling -
this is the one on the new UK server. When I highlight the queue, the
additional queue information box at the bottom says "Unable to bind to
the destination server in DNS."

Last night I moved all of the mailboxes from the 5.5 box over, no issues.

I've done some web searching, and checked the settings for the Default
SMTP Virtual Server, under the Delivery/Advanced/Configure/External
DNS field, and it's empty. I tried adding in the IP address of the
local DC, and no go.

At the console of the new Exchange box I did 'dcdiag /s:newdc' and it
passed all tests except for some ntfrs errors that came about because
of lost connectivity this morning.

I noticed that I didn't have SP2 installed, so installed it a few
minutes ago, and rebooted the box for luck - after notifying users, of
course.

Funny thing is, this site is receiving mail, it just can't send it -
to anywhere.

The 5.5 box was set up to route all mail to the US for disposition,
and this box should do the same.

Iv'e downloladed and am currently running the ntfrsdiag tool anyway,
just for fun, but I'm not seeing any reasons why mail isn't heading
out.

Many Thanks,

Kurt

RE: Conference room calendar auto accept agent?

[Don Andrews]

I just tested inviting a conference room twice from my BB - once by
inviting the room as res:name and the 2nd by using the Lookup to get it
from the GAL.  Both worked and I got the accepted response back from the
auto accept agent.  You will have to manually enter the location value
in order to properly notify the invitees of where it is.

 

Maybe all you have to do is ensure the room is properly setup.

RE: SP1 installed today

[Miller Bonnie L .]

Yep-ours was set to the external FQDN, and the error stated something like it 
had to be either the internal FQDN, the netbios server name, or a nul value 
(with actual values listed instead of what they mean).  Stops during the Hub 
Transport config and fails the upgrade.  I changed it to our internal FQDN 
using set-receiveconnector, and that worked.

Guess I'm just wondering how it got set the other way.  We do have an SSL cert 
from Thawte for OWA.  It's also possible that during the original setup I saw 
something in the GUI and said to myself "oh, that needs to be the external 
name" and changed it.

Upgraded our single E2k7 server (all roles) to SP1 this morning-just thought 
I'd share.  Even after running the schema extensions ahead of time and EXBPA on 
Friday which announced things looked good, I had an ugly little error message 
that failed the install until figuring it out.



Turned out someone else has seen the issue: 
http://www.eggheadcafe.com/software/aspnet/31296140/exchange-2007-sp1-install.aspx



Tried the cmd-line upgrade install as suggested, but it failed again.  I then 
used get-receiveconnector to document our connectors and then 
set-receiveconnector to change the fqdn parameter it was barking about (it was 
previously set to our external domain name rather than internal).  After 
changing that, the install ran without errors.  I've not changed the fqdn value 
back, and as far as I can see, everything is working properly except for one 
thing (next) that is unrelated.  Anyone have any comments on what this value 
should be?  I really don't know when/where it was originally set.



Only other issue I'm seeing right now is an error in OWA when I try and view my 
Rules (under options).  Others are not seeing this problem, so I'm going to 
play with it a bit and see if I can figure it out.  Might be something with 
just the adminsdholder accounts again.  Error is below:

RE: GreyListing...

[Thomas Gonzalez]

Well, after my email I sent out about the two domains and the one
particular domain being hit hard, the JEP(s) along with Trend and IMF I
am seeing about a 87% of blocked spam email. Hopefully the end users
will be a little happy as I am right now.

Again thank you all for the responses.

Thanks for the pointer to JEP(S)!   I've installed it on my church's
system and so far it's having a big impact on the spam (>84% blocked),
so much so that IMF is only seeing about 5% of what it used to see even
with my aggressive 6 (archive) and 4 (junk mail) settings.  

I'm not thoroughly convinced that greylisting is ideal, but it does work
and JEP(S) makes it easy and free to implement.

reasonable Exchange reporting software?

[Matthew McComas]

Anybody know of a reasonably priced Exchange reporting software?  We
want to run some reports on our mail stores, mailbox content, types of
content, attachment types, at a mailbox-by-mailbox level.  We have about
500 mailboxes, so not a tremendously large environment.

 

Thanks,

MM

RE: question about having two domains in exchange

What are your IMF settings.  If stuff is getting through to the users,

Subject: question about having two domains in exchange

 

So, I've been working for the Girl Scouts for over 18 months and the
organization is interesting. With that said, since I have been here, we had
a domain (sagirlscouts.org) and this domain has been plagued with SPAM and
at one point was relaying. The previous IT person was removed since the
organization was blacklisted.

 

Now we have a new domain and I do not see very much spam hitting that
domain. However, upper management decided we should keep the old domain. I'm
ok with that decision, however my dilemma is this: I have been monitoring
all the packets coming into the exchange server, (one server, no front or
back end) and the old domain is constantly being spammed hard. 

 

Is there some type of tool or different setup I can do to prevent the spam
being forwarded onto the users? Management requested we have both domains
appended, but this is stressing out the server.

 

In a nutshell this is what we have:

 

Exchange 2K3 SP2

Win 2K3 SP1

IMF enabled

Trend Exchange Suite 8

Just throwing this out there one more time now that we're at SP1.  Sounds like 
maybe nobody on the list has tried installing these ifilters yet?

Subject: Office 2007 ifilters for E2k7

Getting ready for E2k7 SP1 install next Tuesday.  While reading release notes, 
I came across the section on integrating Office 2007 search filters with 
Exchange 2007, which links to here: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=944516.

This seems like it could be a cool feature for us.  If I'm understanding 
correctly, you run the download (x64 for E2k7 server) on the server.  Then, 
save off their txt into a vbs file and run that to get the reg entries added.  
Restart Exchange Search service.

Does this require anything more to be done?  In other words, does it just start 
indexing contents of the listed document types, or would I have to enable some 
other indexing within Exchange first?  Do clients require WDS to be installed 
to take advantage of this, or will Outlook suddenly be able to search within 
these file types?  Is there additional overhead on the Exchange Server/Outlook 
clients that we should be aware of?  Besides OWA, we're mostly Outlook 2003 
still (mapi connections), but are pushing towards Outlook 2007.

Thanks for any insight or stories,

RE: Conference room calendar auto accept agent?

[Campbell, Rob]

The Exchange Auto Accept Agent will do what you want.

 

Once you install the agent, you want to invite the resource as an
attendee (just like inviting a person).

 

You do not want to schedule the room as a resource if you run the agent.

Hi, 
I need to setup a calendar (Exchange 2003 SP2 & Outlook 2003 SP3) that
can automatically book itself when a group of users schedules meetings.

I think there was an auto accept agent to do this?  
But I need my users to be able do "invite" the room to their meeting
from a Blackberry device. 
And if I remember correctly... the auto accept agent requires that you
invite the room as a "resource: room or equipment".  But there is no way
to do this on a Blackberry.

I can invite the room (if it is in the GAL), but I can't specify
"resource: room or equipment" on the BB. 
Any suggestions? 

Do most people use the auto accept agent? Or is there a different (or
better) way to book conference rooms for meetings?

Thanks very much!

Thanks for the pointer to JEP(S)!   I've installed it on my church's

so much so that IMF is only seeing about 5% of what it used to see even
with my aggressive 6 (archive) and 4 (junk mail) settings.  

I'm not thoroughly convinced that greylisting is ideal, but it does work
and JEP(S) makes it easy and free to implement.

RE: HELP PLEASE - Exchange 2003 Site Connector queue not working...

First thing to check is that the FQDN on the SMTP virtual server resolves 
internally OR change the SMTP virtual server from All Unassigned to a specific 
IP address.

Subject: HELP PLEASE - Exchange 2003 Site Connector queue not working...

All,

As the message above states, the Site Connector queue is filling -
this is the one on the new UK server. When I highlight the queue, the
additional queue information box at the bottom says "Unable to bind to
the destination server in DNS."

Last night I moved all of the mailboxes from the 5.5 box over, no issues.

I've done some web searching, and checked the settings for the Default
SMTP Virtual Server, under the Delivery/Advanced/Configure/External
DNS field, and it's empty. I tried adding in the IP address of the
local DC, and no go.

At the console of the new Exchange box I did 'dcdiag /s:newdc' and it
passed all tests except for some ntfrs errors that came about because
of lost connectivity this morning.

I noticed that I didn't have SP2 installed, so installed it a few
minutes ago, and rebooted the box for luck - after notifying users, of
course.

Funny thing is, this site is receiving mail, it just can't send it -
to anywhere.

The 5.5 box was set up to route all mail to the US for disposition,
and this box should do the same.

Iv'e downloladed and am currently running the ntfrsdiag tool anyway,
just for fun, but I'm not seeing any reasons why mail isn't heading
out.

Many Thanks,

Kurt

FYI:

Updates that Microsoft Corp. began feeding Windows Vista users last week
to prep PCs for next month's release of Service Pack 1 (SP1) have
crippled some machines, according to messages posted to the company's
support site. 

Microsoft said it is investigating the reports. 

Last Tuesday, Microsoft started sending Vista users two final
prerequisite updates that are required before SP1 can be installed in
March. The updates to the operating system's install components were
delivered via Windows Updates, which automatically downloaded and
installed them on the majority of Vista machines. 

Users quickly started squawking.

My understanding is there is no direct upgrade path from 32 to 64 bit.  That
change requires a migration/full reinstall.

RE: Conference room calendar auto accept agent?

[Matt Lathrum]

I believe this auto-accept agent event sink doesn't require inviting the
room as a resource:

Subject: Conference room calendar auto accept agent?

 

Hi, 
I need to setup a calendar (Exchange 2003 SP2 & Outlook 2003 SP3) that
can automatically book itself when a group of users schedules meetings.

I think there was an auto accept agent to do this?  
But I need my users to be able do "invite" the room to their meeting
from a Blackberry device. 
And if I remember correctly... the auto accept agent requires that you
invite the room as a "resource: room or equipment".  But there is no way
to do this on a Blackberry.

I can invite the room (if it is in the GAL), but I can't specify
"resource: room or equipment" on the BB. 
Any suggestions? 

Do most people use the auto accept agent? Or is there a different (or
better) way to book conference rooms for meetings?

Thanks very much! 
-Dave

"You do not want to schedule the room as a resource if you run the

- Why is this?  I thought I read somewhere that you were supposed to tag
it as a resource (little green house icon appears next to it in the
appointment)

The Exchange Auto Accept Agent will do what you want.

 

Once you install the agent, you want to invite the resource as an
attendee (just like inviting a person).

 

You do not want to schedule the room as a resource if you run the agent.

Did that route with a "cost conscious" client.  They got the Ultimates from
the MS Store from parishioners that work for MS.  PCs at a reduced rate from
a retailer, they were Compaq's.  I upgraded them, joined them to the domain
and they could surf the web all day but as soon as they tried to access a

hacks, called Compaq (HP) tried a couple more reg hacks then they fell back

That is both true and not true.

 

As long as you can reinstall your programs and you have all the necessary

Subject: question about having two domains in exchange

So, I've been working for the Girl Scouts for over 18 months and the
organization is interesting. With that said, since I have been here, we
had a domain (sagirlscouts.org) and this domain has been plagued with
SPAM and at one point was relaying. The previous IT person was removed
since the organization was blacklisted.

 

Now we have a new domain and I do not see very much spam hitting that
domain. However, upper management decided we should keep the old domain.
I'm ok with that decision, however my dilemma is this: I have been
monitoring all the packets coming into the exchange server, (one server,
no front or back end) and the old domain is constantly being spammed
hard. 

 

Is there some type of tool or different setup I can do to prevent the
spam being forwarded onto the users? Management requested we have both
domains appended, but this is stressing out the server.

 

In a nutshell this is what we have:

 

Exchange 2K3 SP2

Win 2K3 SP1

IMF enabled

Trend Exchange Suite 8

RE: Conference room calendar auto accept agent?

[Campbell, Rob]

If you schedule it as a resource, you're putting the appointment
directly into it's calendar.  The autoaccept agent never sees it, since
it's looking for a meeting request in the Inbox.  The time will be
marked on the calendar as busy, but the other things the agent does like
adding the meeting organizer to the subject line and enforcing
recurrence limits don't happen.

RE: GreyListing...

[Roger Wright]

Since JEF(S) greylisting blocks initial connections and there's no
message to scan, how it would work with other solutions depends on how
they function.

I'm using it in conjunction with IMF which checks the messages after
they arrive.  But the greylisting has cut down the actual message
traffic dramatically (close to 85%) in the past 24 hours.

It's affordable but not nearly as flexible of full-featured as Ninja or
some other solutions.

Re: Accessing Ex2003 Public Folders using Ex2007 SP1 OWA

[Alex Fontana]

Update...

It appears that first bullet is not exactly true, CAS and HT on the same box
is not the culprit.  I found the problem to be the lack of a Public Folder
Databasethis is where I'm going to ask if anyone knows...on the mailbox
server where the Ex2007 mailbox is homed or on any Ex2007 mailbox server?

I currently only have a single Ex2007 SP1 mailbox server in both prod and
test so "where the mailbox is homed" and "any Ex2007 mailbox server" are one
in the same for me.  Anyway, created a PF db on the Ex2007 SP1 mbx server,
mounted it, I have stopped getting the pop-up error.  Now just waiting for
the Hierarchy to replicate...

RE: question about having two domains in exchange

[Don Andrews]

That should probably read - Do not accept recipients not in the
directory.

 

And the DHA is one of the selling points of the solution we use - it
recognizes too high a ratio of invalid to valid recipients and flags the
sending IP as the source of a DHA and blocks connections from it for 24
hours with a 4xx (temp) failure (all values configurable).

Subject: question about having two domains in exchange

So, I've been working for the Girl Scouts for over 18 months and the
organization is interesting. With that said, since I have been here, we
had a domain (sagirlscouts.org) and this domain has been plagued with
SPAM and at one point was relaying. The previous IT person was removed
since the organization was blacklisted.

 

Now we have a new domain and I do not see very much spam hitting that
domain. However, upper management decided we should keep the old domain.
I'm ok with that decision, however my dilemma is this: I have been
monitoring all the packets coming into the exchange server, (one server,
no front or back end) and the old domain is constantly being spammed
hard. 

 

Is there some type of tool or different setup I can do to prevent the
spam being forwarded onto the users? Management requested we have both
domains appended, but this is stressing out the server.

 

In a nutshell this is what we have:

 

Exchange 2K3 SP2

Win 2K3 SP1

IMF enabled

Trend Exchange Suite 8

RE: Conference room calendar auto accept agent?

Don't mistake the AAA for Resource Scheuling.  As stated before the
AAA can do more things than Resource Scheduling.  I switched from
resource scheduling to the AAA and it is much better.  Especially
when someone tries to book a conference room forever.  By default
the AAA will only allow up to 12 months I believe.  The other great
thing is that when you cancel a meeting it is removed from the

Re: GreyListing...

[Micheal Espinola Jr]

Greylisting only delays legitimate mail.  It will stay in queue and be
sent again.  The notion that Greylisting loses legitimate email is a
misnomer.

Legitimate = from a MTA

If expecting to receive email from a non-legitimate, non-queuing
source, such as some sort of custom notification service with no
sending intelligence, etc; it pays to be mindful of what is expected
to be received, and whitelist matching criteria for those messages so
they are not subject to delaying.

The benefits of using Greylisting majorly outweigh the legwork to
whitelist.  Depending on a server's existing load, Greylisting offsets
processing and the bandwidth used for both the transmission of spam as
well as the various DNS checks performed afterward.

I've been Greylisting for 2 years now.  The only notable issue came at
the beginning when certain peoples expectation of instantaneous e-mail
was delayed by 10 minutes that first time before the sender's server
became automatically whitelisted.

Google this:  "exchange tarpitting".
 
Make sure it's turned on.  Rejecting mail for recipients not in the

Of course running EXBPA is another way to get all these little details

so much so that IMF is only seeing about 5% of what it used to see even
with my aggressive 6 (archive) and 4 (junk mail) settings.  

I'm not thoroughly convinced that greylisting is ideal, but it does work
and JEP(S) makes it easy and free to implement.

RE: question about having two domains in exchange

True enough - I was thinking of who generates and sends the rejection
msg - my bad.

Last I checked "do not accept" and "reject" are pretty much the same
meaning in this context.

 

If we must be verbatim, it should read "Filter recipients who are not in
the directory."

That should probably read - Do not accept recipients not in the
directory.

 

And the DHA is one of the selling points of the solution we use - it
recognizes too high a ratio of invalid to valid recipients and flags the
sending IP as the source of a DHA and blocks connections from it for 24
hours with a 4xx (temp) failure (all values configurable).

Configure IMF with one or more blacklists, set it to archive messages
with SCL 8 or maybe 9, and reject messages to recipients not in the
directory.

Subject: question about having two domains in exchange

So, I've been working for the Girl Scouts for over 18 months and the
organization is interesting. With that said, since I have been here, we
had a domain (sagirlscouts.org) and this domain has been plagued with
SPAM and at one point was relaying. The previous IT person was removed
since the organization was blacklisted.

 

Now we have a new domain and I do not see very much spam hitting that
domain. However, upper management decided we should keep the old domain.
I'm ok with that decision, however my dilemma is this: I have been
monitoring all the packets coming into the exchange server, (one server,
no front or back end) and the old domain is constantly being spammed
hard. 

 

Is there some type of tool or different setup I can do to prevent the
spam being forwarded onto the users? Management requested we have both
domains appended, but this is stressing out the server.

 

In a nutshell this is what we have:

 

Exchange 2K3 SP2

Win 2K3 SP1

IMF enabled

Trend Exchange Suite 8

Michael,

 

Thank you very much for the info.  I was about to rebuild my laptop to
Vista x64 and I use Office Accounting 07 right now, has not released 08
to Action Pack and its integral.  I really don't feel like booting a 2nd

soon that will resolve the problem.

RE: Windows Vista

[Michael B. Smith]

The PROBLEM is with the SQL Express 2005 install. It fails and does not
properly clean up after itself. I've been working this issue with MSFT. If
you have access to SQL 2005 Standard x64, and you install it BEFORE you
install MOA and tell MOA to use that instance of SQL (i.e., an Advanced
install) - you'll be fine.

"Greylisting only delays legitimate mail.  It will stay in queue and be

misnomer."


Now that's funny. When you have 20 million messages coming to your door 
everyday ( And Jim over there at BB&T has even more than that) from all over 
the world, many from systems in countries that are still using older mail 
systems following RFC 821, I bet you wouldn't say that.

Greylisting only delays legitimate mail.  It will stay in queue and be
sent again.  The notion that Greylisting loses legitimate email is a
misnomer.

Legitimate = from a MTA

If expecting to receive email from a non-legitimate, non-queuing
source, such as some sort of custom notification service with no
sending intelligence, etc; it pays to be mindful of what is expected
to be received, and whitelist matching criteria for those messages so
they are not subject to delaying.

The benefits of using Greylisting majorly outweigh the legwork to
whitelist.  Depending on a server's existing load, Greylisting offsets
processing and the bandwidth used for both the transmission of spam as
well as the various DNS checks performed afterward.

I've been Greylisting for 2 years now.  The only notable issue came at
the beginning when certain peoples expectation of instantaneous e-mail
was delayed by 10 minutes that first time before the sender's server
became automatically whitelisted.

Thanks for the pointer to JEP(S)!   I've installed it on my church's
system and so far it's having a big impact on the spam (>84% blocked),
so much so that IMF is only seeing about 5% of what it used to see even
with my aggressive 6 (archive) and 4 (junk mail) settings.

I'm not thoroughly convinced that greylisting is ideal, but it does work
and JEP(S) makes it easy and free to implement.

The PROBLEM is with the SQL Express 2005 install. It fails and does not
properly clean up after itself. I've been working this issue with MSFT.
If you have access to SQL 2005 Standard x64, and you install it BEFORE
you install MOA and tell MOA to use that instance of SQL (i.e., an
Advanced install) - you'll be fine.

Thank you very much for the info.  I was about to rebuild my laptop to

Now that's funny. When you have 20 million messages coming to your door

sent again.  The notion that Greylisting loses legitimate email is a
misnomer.

Legitimate = from a MTA

If expecting to receive email from a non-legitimate, non-queuing
source, such as some sort of custom notification service with no
sending intelligence, etc; it pays to be mindful of what is expected
to be received, and whitelist matching criteria for those messages so
they are not subject to delaying.

The benefits of using Greylisting majorly outweigh the legwork to
whitelist.  Depending on a server's existing load, Greylisting offsets
processing and the bandwidth used for both the transmission of spam as
well as the various DNS checks performed afterward.

I've been Greylisting for 2 years now.  The only notable issue came at
the beginning when certain peoples expectation of instantaneous e-mail
was delayed by 10 minutes that first time before the sender's server
became automatically whitelisted.

RE: GreyListing...

[Andy David]

Oh and let's not forget the greylisting bug in Exchange/Windows 2003 SP2 ( now 
mitigated by a hotfix and reg tweak).  Without the fix, "legitimate" Exchange 
mailers aren't resending the messages once they get the 4xx response code from 
the receiver and the message disappears until the SMTP service is restarted.

So, regardless whether it's a bug, a mailer that simply doesn't retry, or some 
other reason, legitimate mail can be "lost" or dropped when you decide to 
greylist. To say otherwise, is, well, a misnomer.

RE: GreyListing...

[Steve Szabo]

Actually, greylisting does drop legitimate mail. I see the NDRs coming in
that a message was greylisted, and then blocked later on. Seems to be proof
enough for me not to consider it as a valid spam killer.

Greylisting only delays legitimate mail.  It will stay in queue and be
sent again.  The notion that Greylisting loses legitimate email is a
misnomer.

Legitimate = from a MTA

If expecting to receive email from a non-legitimate, non-queuing
source, such as some sort of custom notification service with no
sending intelligence, etc; it pays to be mindful of what is expected
to be received, and whitelist matching criteria for those messages so
they are not subject to delaying.

The benefits of using Greylisting majorly outweigh the legwork to
whitelist.  Depending on a server's existing load, Greylisting offsets
processing and the bandwidth used for both the transmission of spam as
well as the various DNS checks performed afterward.

I've been Greylisting for 2 years now.  The only notable issue came at
the beginning when certain peoples expectation of instantaneous e-mail
was delayed by 10 minutes that first time before the sender's server
became automatically whitelisted.

I think the general recommendation is setting it to 120 or more seconds.

Oh and let's not forget the greylisting bug in Exchange/Windows 2003 SP2 ( now 
mitigated by a hotfix and reg tweak).  Without the fix, "legitimate" Exchange 
mailers aren't resending the messages once they get the 4xx response code from 
the receiver and the message disappears until the SMTP service is restarted.

So, regardless whether it's a bug, a mailer that simply doesn't retry, or some 
other reason, legitimate mail can be "lost" or dropped when you decide to 
greylist. To say otherwise, is, well, a misnomer.

Now that's funny. When you have 20 million messages coming to your door 
everyday ( And Jim over there at BB&T has even more than that) from all over 
the world, many from systems in countries that are still using older mail 
systems following RFC 821, I bet you wouldn't say that.

Re: GreyListing...

[Micheal Espinola Jr]

I dont, but knows though that do - and that Greylist.  I haven't heard
anything along the lines of what you are referring to, but Im
certainly open to hear more about it.

What does RFC 821 specifically have to do with the art of Greylisting?

Hello 

 

I have an exchange 2003 environment in a 2003 active directory environment. In 
the past 24 hours I started to receive error messages in the event log.

 

"Process Store.exe (PID=2960) Topology Discovery failed, error 0xff

 

Any idea what is ?
