RE: Exchange 2007 Spam Filtering
I have been inspired by this thread to re-attempt to get RBL filtering working on my Exchange 2007 server. I tried before and couldn't get it to work. I have added zen.spamhaus.org as an IP Block List provider and enabled it. But spam is still delivered! I studied a spam message that arrived this morning and got the source IP address. I confirmed on the spamhaus website that this ip address is on their list. I tried this script: get-ipblocklistprovider | test-ipblocklistprovider -ipaddress 115.138.46.65 and it seems to work! Exchange says that spamhaus reports this IP address as being a spam source. But then I try get-antispamtoprblproviders and it comes up blank. And when I send an email to spamhaus' nelson-sbl-t...@crynwr.com email address (which sends a reply from a black listed IP address), the email reply is received when it should be blocked. Have I forgotten to do something?

I have figured out that about 50% of what he gets are trade related 'newsletters' and 'news-bulletins'. He has either signed up for them and forgotten, or someone has signed him up without his knowledge. I could see someone signing him up as a form of aggravation since he is an executive that has been here for a long time. Since we are a publicly traded company, guessing or finding his address isn't that hard. And he refuses to discuss changing his email address. sigh FYI, adding b.barracudacentral.orghttp://b.barracudacentral.org to the other three RBL's we were already using, Zen.spamhaus.org Bl.spamcop.net Combined.njable.org Has dropped the amount of SPAM delivered to our quarantine folder by about 50%, and to his mailbox by 20%.

To save money our company elected to rely on Exchange's native SPAM filtering on the Exchange Edge servers. However, now we are getting complaints about the high level of SPAM getting through to users. One user is getting as many as 100 SPAM emails a day...and of course he is a VIP. He does not want to change his email address. But he does want us to fix this problem without spending money. We are considering blocking Asian and Eastern European domains, as we don't do business with those parts of the world. We also use free Real Time Black Lists (remember, can't spend money), Sender ID check, and the open proxy test. Sadly, when reviewing a lot of the SPAM our user has received we have found way too many SCL's of 0 for emails that are obviously SPAM. Oh, and lowering the SCL to 6 is also not an option, and it doesn't look like it would make much of a difference anyway. Can anyone think of anything we have missed? Is there a way to tweak the native anti-spam filtering to make it work better? Or is this as good as it gets?

Recovering messages from Exchange server 2007
Greetings Exchange gurus What's the easiest way to view all messages that were sent by a particular user on a particular day in the past week? I need this for some cloak-and-dagger investigative purposes - I suppose I could just grant myself permissions to the user's mailbox and forward myself all their Sent Items, but a) would they be able to tell I'd done this? and b) I'm assuming this wouldn't cover any stuff they may have permanently deleted? I presume there must be other ways to achieve this - I apologise for my lack of Exchange knowledge, I am not an Exchange bod by any stretch of the imagination. TIA, JRR -- On two occasions...I have been asked, 'Pray, Mr Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question.
RE: Guidance on disks for Exchange 2010
Thanks for everyone's input. It's clear that there's a lot of difference of opinion. From what I can gather, than, so long as the storage appliance is supported/approved by Exchange/Microsoft, a solution involving thin provisioning using expanding disks would be ok? Just curious, is there is technical definition of a disk that the OS would see increasing on an as-needed basis, rather than being presented at 100GB and then being expanded elsewhere? I think that would be stupid, but wondering if it exists.

OOO message only going out once
Running Exchange 2003, Outlook 2003. Sender received an out of office message yesterday at 1pm from recipient that's on vacation. Today, sender sent another email at 8:30am and did not get an OOO from recipient. Mailboxes appear to be well under limits. OOO is still turned on with recipient's mailbox.

OOO only oges out once per sender period. Not once per sender per day. To clear OOF history you need to turn the OOF off and then on again for the recipient mailbox.

RE: Recovering messages from Exchange server 2007
Message tracking will give you a list of the messages, but not the contents.
I often use this script to create html lists of emails for tracking purposes.
Get-MessageTrackingLog -Server email server -EventID RECEIVE -sender
sender's email -Start start date -End end date | ConvertTo-Html
Timestamp, EventID, ClientIP, Sender, {$_.Recipients}, MessageSubject,
ServerIp, ServerHostname, {$_.RecipientStatus} | Set-Content full path to
output filename
That will give you a list of all messages the user sent. If you need to know
what's in them, you'll need another tool.

Greetings Exchange gurus
What's the easiest way to view all messages that were sent by a particular user
on a particular day in the past week? I need this for some cloak-and-dagger
investigative purposes - I suppose I could just grant myself permissions to the
user's mailbox and forward myself all their Sent Items, but a) would they be
able to tell I'd done this? and b) I'm assuming this wouldn't cover any stuff
they may have permanently deleted?
I presume there must be other ways to achieve this - I apologise for my lack of
Exchange knowledge, I am not an Exchange bod by any stretch of the imagination.
TIA,
JRR

RE: OOO message only going out once
There are a few third party apps that will, on a daily schedule, query all the exchange mailboxes with OOF enabled... save the list, then run through and disable and re-enable the OOF setting on each mailbox to clear the OOF history. This enables the OOF to fire once per day / per sender... It's not a function built into Exchange, but an add-on It's been awhile since I looked at the apps (and we never ended up buying any), so I can't really recommend one ATM.

I know that I've gotten OOO from users on multiple days, but never more than one per day. So that means that they would have had to have been toggling the OOO to get that to happen. Thanks people!

Sender received an out of office message yesterday at 1pm from recipient that's on vacation. Today, sender sent another email at 8:30am and did not get an OOO from recipient. Mailboxes appear to be well under limits. OOO is still turned on with recipient's mailbox. I looked at message tracking and only saw the OOO from yesterday. I understand that OOO only goes out once per day per sender. What time of day is that counter reset? Has anyone else run across problems where the OOO only fires off once? -Paul
RE: Legitimate Mass Emails
Depending on the size of your contact list, you might want to check out MailChimp. I use them for a number of non-profit things I do and the service is free and works great. Much better value if you fit into their free criteria than ConstantContact.
