Attachments and Exchange
I remember a product from a few years ago that would take all incoming attachments on Exchange and strip them from the mail, then store them elsewhere while still making them available to the user as if they were in the DB. I can't find it now. Does anyone remember this tool? MailEssentials will strip them, but I don't think it allows the user to retrieve them as if they are still in the DB.

I'm wondering whether we should be running our file-level anti-virus software on our Exchange server. We run Antigen for the email AV, and would exclude the Exchange mdbdata dsadata directories from the file scanning if we did, as I know AV can corrupt the database or directory. The idea is to protect that server from infection channels other than email which Antigen handles. I don't think there's much risk of non-email infection in that server which is dedicated to email, and Antigen only on that server is probably adequate.

Dial-Up Modem / ISDN recently Cable Modem to our corporate mail server have all worked. Our local office user base has increased and we have moved to a brand new installation of Windows 2000 and the full product Exchange 5.5 (SP4). We have setup an Internet Mail Service, but with a cable modem scenario we oviously don't have a dial-up connection to configure... and in SBS the POP3 extension handled this area quite happily. We can Send e-Mails to external addresses and internal addresses. However, we just cannot get Exchange to poll the Corporate server to collect inbound Mail for us. In simplified terms for a non-Exchange person - What information should we ask our mail-server colleagues for; how where should we then configure this and in practical terms have we missed something obvious? If you think Exchange 2000 is a better option for a clean install we are ready to move and work with that product...

We have seven servers total, this is the only one with a problem. 2. Has this ever worked?--No, not on this server. We normally use ArcServe, which worked fine until recently.

Or maybe point me in the right direction? I have an E2k server that just won't forward messages from the Internet to mailboxes that reside on the 5.5 servers. Messages within the site work fine, or from the Internet to the 5.5 server to a mailbox on the E2k server. I've looked in archives, knowledge base, white papers...basically the consensus is that anything going to an E2k server is considered inbound and it should recognize an address within the site.

Though I had been a vocal critic of CA's tech support in the past, even back when I was an SE, I thought I was a lightweight when it came to CA-bashing on this list. So I was surprised when I got a call from their VP/TS, especially since he was calling from the east coast. Anyway, let me just hit the high points for you ... I told him my main complaints with CA products (ARCserve Inoculan) were lack of real-time tech support, and the nightmare of RegIT. He agreed. Here are a few of the things he told me: - CA has relaxed their registration code, so that now it does not disable the service. - They have beefed up their support staff, with an office in India with 100 techies, and now 80%+ of their calls actually get answered by a real tech support person. Wow! I used to get the take a number, we'll call you back someday runaround. - Their knowledge base has been beefed up. I recall it used to be pretty thin. I haven't checked it out yet. Well, I was impressed that a high-level guy from CA is actually reaching out to customers and people in the industry, and trying to respond to criticisms. Maybe they have turned over a new leaf. I won't have the opportunity to really evaluate them as we are a Backup Exec / Sophos / Antigen shop, and being happy with these I'm not changing horses ... but maybe some of you out there will revisit CA products and give them a fresh chance.

The client was Outlook 2000 so the Contacts if hard deleted should still be visible but they are not.

I am running NT4 with 6a and Exch 55 with SP3. From within Outlook I can go in and add a calendar folder for these users, and users can add items to the new calendar, but no one else can view the calendar from their own workstations, regardless of permissions set. Last week I upgraded from standard edition to enterprise for Exchange--not sure if that had any bearing on this problem, but in the past I have always been able to create normal mailboxes with all of the standard folders.
