stopping spam from inside server?
Anyone have any suggestions on anything for stopping what I call internal spam. Users who reply to phishing emails, who's account is then used to send out massive amounts of spam to the world. Because of this massive blast of spam, our mail server gets placed on many block lists, and then I have to spend the day getting us off block lists because of one users who thinks it's a good idea to give out login id, password, home address, favorite ice cream flavor and blood type just because an email asked them to. Any ideas on solutions? User education has proven fruitless, we still get people who reply.
RE: stopping spam from inside server?
To be clear, this is the same as normal traffic. This is not being done on an open relay, a user has given out their ID/Password to a phishing scheme, and they are logging in remotely over OWA to send out large amounts of spam. It the same as a professor sending out 5000 mails to an academic group they run. This is where things get tough for me. I am looking for something to distinguish a user who has been compromised and is sending out spam vs a user sending out valid large amounts of email.

Group Calendering and OWA
In the middle of a migration from Exchange 2003 to Exchange 2007. One of the features we heavily used in 2003 was a shared/group calendar. Just a mailbox where users only have permission to the calendar that they used for various things (an out of office/vacation listing for an entire department, student work schedule, etc). They could log into owa, and then via a direct OWA link access the calendar. We could do three levels of permissions on these calendars (author, editor, read only). Unfortunately I can not find a way to do this in Exchange 2007. Once I migrate the mailbox over to 2007, OWA changes what it will allow users to do. Users who had read only access are fine. Those who had author access suddenly have read only access. Those who had editor access, it get's even stranger. They can modify items, move them around, but not delete them. This entire thing just baffles me. Am I just missing something? Is there another way to create this type of calendar that isn't using public folders or sharepoint? On a side note, what is the deal with requiring IE to look at calendars now? It's looking more and more like converting to 2007 is a downgrade instead of an upgrade, we are losing several features. ~ Ninja Email Security with Cloudmark Spam Engine Gets Image Spam ~ ~ http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Ninja~

Exchange Management Shell killed the CDO star
Currently where I work we are using Exchange 2003. I have written some VB code that uses CDO and CDOEXM to create mailboxes for new users. Another process creates new accounts in active directory, and my code goes through all the accounts, sees what department they are in, goes to a lookup table to figure out if the department they are in gets mailboxes on our servers (some departments have their own servers so we leave them alone). Now I go to the Microsoft Upgrading skills from Exchange 2003 to 2007 class and I am introduced to the horror of the exchange management shell. I want to keep using CDO!!! But from what I was told, CDO will not work fully with Exchange 2007, especially since the RUS is gone. CDO, from my little experience with it so far, isn't a robust language to program with. It's more of a scripting system. Am I the only one who isn't happy with the management shell? ~ Ninja Email Security with Cloudmark Spam Engine Gets Image Spam ~ ~ http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Ninja~
RE: Exchange Management Shell killed the CDO star
Perhaps I just having learned enough about EMS, any guidance on where to get good information on it? From: Campbell, Rob [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, March 19, 2008 10:42 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Exchange Management Shell killed the CDO star Is it really the EMS you aren't happy with, or the CDO support in E2k7? What you are describing doesn't seem like it should be that hard to do via the EMS. From: Boggis, Josh [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, March 19, 2008 9:08 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Exchange Management Shell killed the CDO star Currently where I work we are using Exchange 2003. I have written some VB code that uses CDO and CDOEXM to create mailboxes for new users. Another process creates new accounts in active directory, and my code goes through all the accounts, sees what department they are in, goes to a lookup table to figure out if the department they are in gets mailboxes on our servers (some departments have their own servers so we leave them alone). Now I go to the Microsoft Upgrading skills from Exchange 2003 to 2007 class and I am introduced to the horror of the exchange management shell. I want to keep using CDO!!! But from what I was told, CDO will not work fully with Exchange 2007, especially since the RUS is gone. CDO, from my little experience with it so far, isn't a robust language to program with. It's more of a scripting system.

RE: How to pinpoint source of high traffic volume
We had this problem on our mail servers a while back. Had to do with Mac users and message size limits, where the mac client (don't remember which one) wouldn't quite understand that a message the user is trying to send out is over the message size limit, so it would keep resubmitting it, maxing out our transaction logs. This may be your problem. If you think that is it, all up Microsoft, they have a hot fix for it. From: Bob Peitzke [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, February 29, 2008 12:32 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: How to pinpoint source of high traffic volume This morning I noticed one of our Exchange 2000 servers has an abnormally high number of log files, and seems to be filling one about every 5 - 10 minutes. Since no mailboxes have grown, I figure it must be outbound traffic, as if a PC is acting as a spam zombie. Relaying is restricted to three specific hosts within subnet. There must be a way to pinpoint the source of the traffic, right? Turn up some logging? I'm looking for it, but would appreciate advice from someone who works in this area more often than I do. Grateful for any advice.

RE: Looking for Last Logon date in Exchange
Do you care if they log in to Exchange only or in AD at all? AD has two fields, lastlogon and lastlogontimestamp. These fields are set when the user authenticates to AD. Lastlogon is set per domain controller, and lastlogontimestamp (new in AD 2003) is replicated throughout the entire domain so you always get the most current version. Just LDAP these fields, convert the number (it's in that insane 1601 format), and you are set! Last Logon in exchange is iffy for me. I know if you look at someone's calendar it counts as a logon to the mailbox. From: Paul Everett [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, February 13, 2008 4:32 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Looking for Last Logon date in Exchange I'm looking to determine when the last time our users have actually looked at their email, either thru Outlook or OWA. In Exchange System Manager\Mailbox Store\Mailboxes it shows a column header for Last Logon Time and Last Logoff Time, but these are all showing the same time, about 10 minutes prior to me logging onto the Exchange Server to view this information (give or take a minute). It seems like I use to be able to go here and see that people hadn't logged on for months. We have 250 accounts and not all are working at the same time much less logging on (and off) at the same time. All but three users show last logon by NT Authority\System, but the only difference it those accounts is that there is no log-off time. Is there another way for me to find what I'm looking for in Exchange? Exchange 2003 in a 2003 AD Domain, running Sunbelt Messaging Ninja. Thanks, Paul Everett IS Dept.

Symantec Outlook Plugin and server load
Anyone have Symantec installed out on users PC's with the outlook plugin? I am concerned about the load put on the server if a user does a manual scan of all their email. In my mind this is going to pull down all their attachments and go through them one by one. If some default policy is set to run a manual scan of machines at the same time, this could means thousands of users pulling down their mail all at the same time. I'm looking for anyone who has had any experience with this or had any issues. ~ Ninja Email Security with Cloudmark Spam Engine Gets Image Spam ~ ~ http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Ninja~
