IIS 7 -Exchange 2007

[Brent Zalewski]

We are using an external company for our email archive solution.  I
received the following email from them yesterday concerning some email in
the Journal mailbox that will not move to their system.  The article that
is referenced mentions that the server will have lower security.  Any
dangers in performing this?  Is the syntax correct?  They connect to our
server using OWA.  I assume for localhost I could use the server name.

Thanks

Brent


I find there are many emails in journal mailbox and failed to vault, it's
because of the subject include "+".
I am not sure if I sent a solution to you or not, here it is.

To solve this issue we need run the following command on Mailbox
server:

%windir%\system32\inetsrv\appcmd set config "http://localhost/Exchange";
-section:system.webServer/security/requestfiltering
-allowDoubleEscaping:true /commit:apphost

refer to this MS document for more details:

OWA and Fine Grained Password Policies

[Brent Zalewski]

We have an Exchange 2007 server and have implemeted Fine Grained Password 
Polcies on Server 2008.  Whenever a user logs on to OWA they  are prompted that 
their password expires today.  I found an article that discusses this 
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/exchangesvrclients/thread/ef53ef0c-2f2f-414d-bfa1-10f0e6ea085f.
  

Is this fixed in any Exchange updates?  Is there another way to stop this from 
displaying?

Thanks

actually put appointments on the calendar. The other users can see the calendar 
but receive the following when they try to put an appointment on it - Cannot 
open free/busy information.  you do not have sufficient permission to perform 
this operation.  Any ideas would be appreciated.

Contact List Moved from Public Folder

[Brent Zalewski]

We had an admin user move a contact list from a Public Folder to a users 
conatct list using Outlook.  I gave the user who has the contact list now full 
rights to the Public folder.  When I attempt to move the contact list back it 
says that we will have to wait for the list to snyc with the server.  It has 
been over 30 minutes.  I do not see anything moving back to the Public Folders. 
 Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

GAL update in Exchange 2007

[Brent Zalewski]

We had an existing Distribution List that we decided to hide from the GAL.  I 
checked the "Hide from address book" box.  How long can it take for the list to 
not be visible in the GAL?

Thanks

No, we are working with them to archive users email.  Someone at our company 
wants to have reports emailed to them once a month on certain activity.

Allow Relay over VPN Connection

[Brent Zalewski]

We are working with a company that says they may need to use our Exchange 
server (2007 SP1) as a relay to send mail to our internal users only.  I 
thought if they were sending to internal users there would not be a need for a 
relay.  We have several devices (copier, etc) on our network that can send 
messages to internal users that do not need a relay configured. Is this a 
security/spam risk issue?

Thanks

Changing Storage Limits on Database

[Brent Zalewski]

If I need to changes to the storage limits on a storage Group database does 
make the changes while the database remains online?  I want to make sure I 
don't have to dismount the database before making changes.  Is it better to 
change the limits on a single user if we have one or two that are getting 
closer to the limits?

Thanks

Monitor Which IP Address Sends Mail to Exchange

[Brent Zalewski]

Is there any way to monitor which IP address is sending mail to an Exchange 
Server.  When I look in the Queue Viewer of any email the IP address is 
255.255.255.255.  We have a situation where a users email address is sending 
hundreds of emails to nonexistent addresses.  The users computer was off and 
unplugged from the network yesterday and it was still happening.  If I look in 
her sent items it actually shows some of theses messages being sent by her.  We 
enable BATV on our spam filter but that did not do anything to help. Any deas 
would be appreciated.

Thanks

Re: Several NDR's

[Brent Zalewski]

Thanks for all the help.  We are looking into what the best solution is for us. 
 But isn't the real issue from all of this being put on a RBL because some of 
the email sent could be sent to a monitored email address for spam?  O ram I 
missing something?

Thanks

RE: Several NDR's

[Brent Zalewski]

As I read through all the articles on this I really wonder what if anything can 
be done.  Some articles say to report this and other say just to ignore it.  
What really is the best solution , if any?

Thanks

Several NDR's

[Brent Zalewski]

We have a user that has been receiving hundreds of the following NDR's.  The 
date sent on the message show yesterday which was a holiday.  The user did not 
loogn to her OWA or was not on her computer email at all yesterday.  Any ideas 
would be appreciated.  Check machine for virus, spyware, etc.  Nothing found as 
of yet.  There was nothing in the Sent Items for any of these messages.
I noticed that the to in the first part of the message with a banet.net domain 
and the to in the diagnostic area is winn...@camelot.co.uk.

Error 550 -Denied By Policy

[Brent Zalewski]

Last week we were on an RBL.  Several of our users were receiving 550 denied by 
Policy return messages.  We were removed form the RBL about 6 to 7 days ago.  
We continue to receive a few 550 Denied By Policy messages back.  I checked 
today and we are not on an RBL - used mxtoolbox.com.  Is is possible some 
servers have not updated the RBL list after this long?  I was also told by a 
few users that the message was received by the remote even though they received 
the 550 error.  Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks

Denied By Policy 550

[Brent Zalewski]

We have an Exchange 2007 SP1 server.  We have had several users send messages 
to Internet email addresses and have an NDR come back with the following:

block.microcomps.com #550 Denied by policy ##
dsmdc-mail-bxga2 #550 Denied by policy 

Is this from some RBL?

Thanks
Brent

All,

We are looking to implement an email archiving solution into our environment 
and would like some suggestions.  We currently have one Exchange server running 
Exchange Server 2003 on a Windows Server 2003 R2 box.  At some point we will 
upgrade to Windows Server 2008 R2 and Exchange 2010.
