RE: Barracuda Reputation Block List
Large number of FP's and they also do unpublished collateral damage. For example if you use the same name servers as some ROSKO spammers you may find yourself blocked. And to make it really interesting if you go look yourself up in the above example the lookup feature will tell you that you are not listed. You will have to fight your way to level 2 support to find out that you are indeed listed. I would just tag for now with it, I would not block with it. -Original Message- From: Steve Szabo [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, October 16, 2008 12:02 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Barracuda Reputation Block List This can be found at http://www.barracudacentral.org/rbl.

RE: Public folder replication e2k - e2k7
The Replication is set to always with a 5 minute interval for all public folders Almost all the folders replicate their content without any problem I have set the priority of one of the problematic folders to urgent.

For e.g., we have some of the same users doing business overseas using a different domain ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) pointing to the same Exchange server.albeit the Outlook client is configured using POP...again alongside Exchange. We now have an interesting phenomenon where the POP is downloading 12,000+ messages in over 1.89GB, again and again.

RE: Issues combining the usual email domain with POP
How large is [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]'s 's mailbox? This sounds like an issue I see from time to time with POP clients. The run through the mailbox does not finish, for one reason or another, so when the next run starts, Outlook starts at the beginning again downloading all the messages to the user's PST file. Now, mind you, I've never seen it to this extent, but I have seen it. If the user's mailbox does have the 12,000+ mails in it, the scenario described above is what is happening. If you allow OWA access, have the user go up via OWA, and clean out those messages. Eventually, the mailbox will get to the size or a bad message will be removed, and the next POP run will pick up, then delete, all the remaining messages. \\Steve// From: Jeff Gottlieb [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, October 16, 2008 5:59 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Issues combining the usual email domain with POP Using Exchange 2003 we have combined the usual domain ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) with POP.
