Re: External subdomains considered dangerous?
Guess it's time we had some sort of spell-checker for email address fields that checks the recipient domain against a registered owner and alerts the user if anything appears out of the ordinary. Or some variation of a software restriction policy, some kind of domain recipient policy with a whitelist of known good domains. I know IronPort does reputation checking on inbound mail, could it (or does it already) do the same sort of thing for outbound? Or alternatively, educating users in what not to send via email might be an easier option. Or not, as the case may be.

RE: Setting up Exchange environment
Thanks Michael. Like I said, I think I've been too deep into the minutia. It's good to know I'm not completely crazy. As far as the Edge server, I've heard it both ways - one NIC, or two. If we do go with just one NIC, which is publically facing, how do you setup routing to get that traffic inside the firewall to the HT? Michael B.

I have my Exchange 2010 environment setup (mostly). Here's how we're setup: DMZ: 1) Edge Server for actual mail traffic. Our Edge server has 2 NICs. One public IP, one internal IP. Edgesync is running to the internal IP. 2) TMG - will be used for OWA/Activesync access. *** Yes, I know I could have had Edge role installed on the TMG box, but the TMG box is already production, and we didn't during initial install.*** Internal: 1) 3 MB servers, setup in a DAG, with each server containing one database, plus one copy of another server. 2) 2 HT/CAS servers, CAS using Microsoft Load Balancing for that role. We have a wildcard cert that we're going to use for OWA/Activesync. What I don't have setup yet: 1) TMG policy/listener for OWA. I need an IP for this, don't have one yet. 2) Send and receive connectors. We're going to be accepting mail for multiple mail domains, and I have that setup under Accepted Domains, but I haven't got the connectors yet. We're required to accept from/send to a specific third party system (FOPE). I still need the specific IPs that will be used for that. I've tested internally, and it works fine, however OWA access is giving me a cert issue. I think it's not a trusted CA... we can iron that out pretty easily, I think. I can't test externally, as I don't have the external IPs yet, so it's a great unknown at this point. Question: Am I missing anything? I think I may be too deep in this, and I'm worried that I've overlooked something major.

Re: Best Practices for Attachment Size Limits
Mailbox limits generally prevent that in our org.

Generally we're the recipient, though. In the case of sending, I've been told that the limit on sending (on our end is too onerous) so I just opened that up, too. 9 times out of ten they get the notification that the recipient has rejected it due to the size. But that moves it to something outside my control, and they know this. On Fri, Sep 9, 2011 at 11:54 AM, Mike O'Toole m...@risingwoods.org wrote: Doesn't the recipient have the last word on size?
