Exchange behind PIX config
I have modified addresses to protect the innocent. I would be happy to take this topic off line: I have an Exchange 2000 server sitting behind a PIX 515. I want Internet e-mail bound for the Exchange server to pass through the PIX to the Exchange server. I have contacacted the ISP to have them change the MX record to 192.10.10.195. These are the lines I have added to the config: global (outside) 1 192.10.10.196-192.10.10.198 static (inside,outside) 192.10.10.196 10.16.0.2 access-list smtp_in permit tcp any host 192.10.10.196 eq smtp access-group smtp_in in interface outside no fixup protocol smtp 25 The Exchange 2000 Server is 10.16.0.2 , the Outside interface of the PIX is 192.10.10.195 Thanks for the help Chris Bodnar List Charter and FAQ at: http://www.sunbelt-software.com/exchange_list_charter.htm
RE: Exchange behind PIX config
Thanks for the reply. The Global command is where I am getting confused. It was my understanding that I need it, and it couldn't be the IP address of the Outside interface. Is that correct? If it can be would this work: global (outside) 1 192.10.10.195 static (inside,outside) 192.10.10.195 10.16.0.2 access-list smtp_in permit tcp any host 192.10.10.195 eq smtp access-group smtp_in in interface outside no fixup protocol smtp 25 Thanks chris List Charter and FAQ at: http://www.sunbelt-software.com/exchange_list_charter.htm
ETRN on Exchange or MDaemon?
I have a client who is using FineLine on a SCO box. Basically all their e-mail goes to one POP3 account at the ISP. Fineline retrieves that mail and distributes it to it's own internal e-mail boxes. Clients retrieve mail from the FineLine server using Outlook Express. The SCO box seems to have bit the dust. I am trying to get them back up and running as quickly as possible, MDaemon seems to be an identical product that runs on the Windows platform. Looks like I can get this up and running in less than an hour. My other option is to setup ETRN with the ISP, and install Exchange 2000, which is the long term goal here, but it will be much more complicated and time consuming. I am leaning towards trying MDaemon. I would appreciate any input. All comments welcome. Chris List Charter and FAQ at: http://www.sunbelt-software.com/exchange_list_charter.htm
Exchange 1029 errors
My Exchange 2000 server is listing hundreds of 1029 errors in the Application log. And it seems no internet e-mail is moving in or out. Here is an example of the event: [EMAIL PROTECTED] failed an operation because the user did not have the following access rights: 'Delete' 'Read Property' 'Write Property' 'Create Message' 'View Item' 'Create Subfolder' 'Write Security Descriptor' 'Write Owner' 'Read Security Descriptor' 'Contact' The distinguished name of the owning mailbox is /O=SBM COMPUTERS COMMUNICATIONS CORPORATION/OU=CORPORATE/CN=RECIPIENTS/CN=SKELLY. The folder ID is in the data section of this event. All the 1029 errors are all identical except for the e-mail. Anyone see this before? A quick search on Technet didn't give me any real clues.

Exchange/Outlook problem
Client site is: NT 4.0 Server SP6a Exchange 5.5 SP4 Windows 98 clients running Outlook 98 Sporadically Win98 clients are experiencing the following: Client will launch Outlook 98 and it will open and they can see all the normal resources, but a logon dialog box will appear (Username, Domain Name, Password). The box usually goes away after 20-30 seconds. Only happens on some machines and not all the time. But enough to call me about. I am guessing that the clients arent really validating when logging in, but using cached credentials. Any suggestions?

Exchange Hoax/SPAM filtering software?
I have a client who is interested in software that will try to filter out Hoax e-mail. I have come across MailMarshal for Exchange from Marshal software, which seems to be exactly what the customer is looking for. Never having used a product like this before I was wondering if anyone could make a recommendation based upon experience with this or a similar type of product.

Permissions problem on Exchange mailbox calendar
All clients W2K Pro, Outlook 2000 Having problems with permissions on my calendar, located on Exchange 2000. Nobody elses calendar exhibits this behavior. I have added users to the permissions tab of my Calendar, tried all the up to Owner, they still get the following error when viewing the calendar: Could not read the calendar. You do not have sufficient permission to perform this operation on this object. See the folder contact or your system administrator. Have tried adding and removing the users, adding them at the mailbox level. This is a single Exchange server environment, with on DC in Native Mode (separate server). I have exported my mailbox to *.PST file and deleted the mailbox on the Exchange server and recreated it. Then imported the data from the *.PST file back into the new mailbox. Still no change. Havent found anything on TechNet that seems relevant. Any suggestions?

RE: Permissions problem on Exchange mailbox calendar
Hey Kevin, I was hoping you'd chime in. If you mean the Mailbox itself. Yes. I have given the specified users different levels of permissions, from Reviewer , all the way up to Owner. No difference. It almost seems that it is ignoring any permissions I assign from within Outlook. I have just tested changing the Mailbox rights from Active Directory Users and Compters on the Exchange Advanced tab. If I give the Everyone group Full Access, everyone has full access to my mailbox, no matter what permissions are assigned in Outlook. Any suggestions?

Installing Exchange Multimedia Control
I recently came across the Exchange Multimedia Control feature that is part of Exchange 2000. I have successfully installed it as part of OWA but when I go to the web site to install it as part of Outlook 2000, the web page displays, but when I click on the Download and Install button, nothing happens. I do have Outlook closed during this procedure. Any suggestions? TIA Chris bodnar List Charter and FAQ at: http://www.sunbelt-software.com/exchange_list_charter.htm
Second OWA server in E2K environment
In an Exchange 5.5 environment, you could setup OWA on a seperate server than the Exchange server. Is that possible with Exchange 2000? I know that OWA is installed by default with E2K. Do you need to bring up a 2nd Exchange server in the site for this to happen? Or can you just install it on a machine that has IIS? Then just point the OWA clients to the 2nd server? Any help would be appreciated. TIA chris bodnar List Charter and FAQ at: http://www.sunbelt-software.com/exchange_list_charter.htm
IFS question
I am just starting to read about IFS, which I was unaware of before. The whole M: drive thing was unknown to me. I have shared my folder under the MBX directory and enabled web sharing. My only problem seems to be permissions. I am not exactly sure where the current permissions on this folder are derived from? The permissions associated with the mailbox itself? My problem seems to be that the Domain Admins and Enterprise Admins groups have been explicitly denied access to this folder, and my user account is a member of both groups. I don't seem to be able to remove these settings, they Deny check boxes are all grayed out. Im a little leery of just haphazardly changing the permissions on these folders, for fear of royally messing up my mailbox. Any suggestions? TIA chris bodnar List Charter and FAQ at: http://www.sunbelt-software.com/exchange_list_charter.htm
Public Folder: Send on behalf of ?
Is there a way to grant Send on Behalf of to a public folder the way you can with a Mailbox? I know others must have solved this, but here it is. For this list I am using the SMTP address of a public folder. I assigned permissions to the folder for our Technicians. The mail comes in fine, and all the Technicians can read the incoming mail from the Public Folder but cant respond to it. It tries to use their curretly logged on user settings to send the e-mail, not the SMTP address of the Public Folder. As far as I can see there is no way to grant this permission on a Public Folder the way you can with a Mialbox. The only way around it I can see so far would be very complicated. To create a user, create a mailbox for that user. Create a mailbox rule for the mailbox that moves incoming mail to the Public Folder, and then grant Send on behalf of rights on the mailbox to the Technicians. Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated. Chris Bodnar List Charter and FAQ at: http://www.sunbelt-software.com/exchange_list_charter.htm
Exchange 2000, SMTPVS, SMTPC
Sorry for the beginner question, but this is my first Exchange 2000 install. I am a little confused on Exchange 2K and the SMTPVS and the SMTPC. I have set up Exchange 2K and ISA on the same box. Everything is working fine so far except Inbound Internet e-mail. They can send out, but so far no incoming e-mail. I am very familiar with Exchange 5.5 and Proxy 2.0. But Exchange 2K is very different. I have read the configuration info on www.isaserver.org concerning this configuration and the Mail Sever Security has been run successfully and the Packet Filters were created. That all makes sense to me. Where I get confused is the SMTPVS and the SMTPC. Do you need the SMTPC? Specifically I know you had to have the Address Space configured in 5.5 on the IMS. But this is now a separate component on Exchange 2K. Also my internal domain name is different from my external e-mail addresses. Internal is corp.local.com external is widgets.com. The MX record has been setup correctly by the ISP, and I have successfully tested that the external interface of the ISA server is listening on ports 25 and 110 by telneting to them. The clients e-mail addresses have been changed in AD (Default Policy) in Exchange System Manager to reflect their Internet e-mail addresses. What should I be looking for now? I can send out from [EMAIL PROTECTED] but when I reply, it never makes it back. E-mail address of reply is correct. I have a feeling it is something misconfigured in the SMTPC, but I just dont know. I have searched TechNet but so far nothing useful. TIA Chris Bodnar List Charter and FAQ at: http://www.sunbelt-software.com/exchange_list_charter.htm
Exchange: 9215 error
Exchange 5.5 SP2 NT 4.0 SP6a We have an X.400 connector setup over dial-up with one of our vendors and they are telling us that over the last 2 weeks they have been experiencing a problem where the connection seems to be terminating abnormally and the messages are transferred to our system, but backing up on their system, because they are not receiving a confirmation that the messages have been transferred. I have found a number of articles that seem very similar. The one that most closely describes our situation is Q193380. But the only Event ID associated with this on our Exchange server is 9215. The relevant KB articles referencing 9215 are: Q170056 Q154301 Q164400 Q182619 Q261251 But none seem to really pertain to this situation. I am considering going to SP4, but I found mention of a similar error that only manifests itself with SP3 or 4. So I am a little leery of doing this on a production server. Has anyone come across this before? TIA Chris Bodnar The Lehigh Group 610-966-9702 X:134 List Charter and FAQ at: http://www.sunbelt-software.com/exchange_list_charter.htm
