Re: Antivirus & Antispam Suggestion?
You might want to check the new owners products. I installed "GFI mail defense suite" on a 140 user Exchange 2007 and it is lightweight and working well.

Re: Exchange is history?: Moved two clients to GoogleApps this week.
But you forgot to mention that you get to give all of your data to someone else. Remember one of the most basic of about security is that you maintain physical control of your data.

what determines the IP address used in the mail header?
I have a site that wasn't set up by me that I manage. It has Exchange 2007 running on server 2003. The server is connected to two physical networks. There is the "main" network and then a second network that is used to connect some internal equipment. One NIC connects to the "main" network and the second NIC connects to the internal network. There are no gateways or routes defined on the second network. There is no routing between the networks. The DNS has two records for "server1" . One is the main network with say 10.10.10.10 and another for the internal network say 10.20.20.20. I was doing some undelivered mail troubleshooting this morning and I noticed that in mail headers Exchange includes the server address of the internal network and not the server IP address of the main network. How does Exchange decide which address to use in the above and can it be set?

Re: what determines the IP address used in the mail header?
I thought it could be but no idea what determines the order. There are two physical networks and two different subnets. The second network is pretty much isolated. No gateway is defined and there is no routing between the two subnets either externally or on the server. On Thu, Jul 7, 2011 at 1:12 PM, Michael B.

Exchange 2007, new receive connector setup for relay only works for a short time
I set up a new receive connector on the hub transport (no edge transport). to relay for an internal app server. It listens on port 587 and is set to accept mail only from the app server IP address I gave the connector anonymous permission and used the Exchange management shell to give the new connector permission to relay. It worked for a while last night and then refused connections. I then ran Ghostmail on the app server. When sending through the new connector I get a 550 5.7.1 client was not authenticated. Rebooted the Exchange server this morning. No mail is being sent from the app server. I was able to send mail with Ghostmail through the new receive connector. About an hour later I tried to send mail and get 550 5.7.1 client was not authenticated. Any suggestions appreciated. --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe exchangelist
Re: Exchange 2007, new receive connector setup for relay only works for a short time
Thanks, I tried that after doing what I described and still the same deal where it works for a while and throws the 530.5.7.1 client was not authenticated. I also found that if I disable/enable the new receive connector via the management console it will again handle mail for over an hour. Then I tried deleting the new connector and creating a new connector via the management shell from another MS article using a different name for the connector: PS] C:\>New-ReceiveConnector -Name "svr4 relay" -Usage Custom -AuthMechanism ExternalAuthoritative -PermissionGroups ExchangeServers -Bindings 192.168.5.100 :587 -RemoteIpRanges 192.168.5.111 That will handle mail for over an hour and then 530.5.7.1 client was not authenticated. I can disable/enable the connector as I described and it will work for over an hour.

deleting old Exchange server from AD
I have an Exchange 2007 server that was migrated from (I think Exchange 2000) prior to me. It has rebooted itself twice in two weeks and I see two errors. To not confuse things this is just one of them. This is a single server. The old server is still on site but disconnected and powered down a few years ago. The error log reports this: Event Type:Warning Event Source:MSExchangeTransport Event Category:Routing Event ID:5020 Date:11/10/2011 Time:4:41:33 PM User:N/A Computer:SERVER1 Description: The topology doesn't contain a route to Exchange 2000 Server or Exchange Server 2003 server oldserver.domain in Routing Group CN=First Routing Group,CN=Routing Groups,CN=First Administrative Group,CN=Administrative Groups,CN=company,CN=Microsoft Exchange,CN=Services,CN=Configuration,DC=domain in routing tables with the timestamp 11/10/2011 9:41:33 PM. For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.

Microsoft Exchange is ignoring the source transport server. For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp. I used ADSI edit. Under config, services, MS Excahnge, company, administrative groups I see two structures. One is the current server: Exchange administrative group, servers, mycurrent server with IS-MTA-SA and Protocols underneath The other is the old server: First Admininistrative group, servers, oldserver with IS-MTA-SA-protocols underneath. To remove the old server reference can I just delete "oldserver with IS-MTA-SA-protocols underneath" Thanks. --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe exchangelist
Re: Exchange Lab in the Cloud?
Agree, I have a fairly low end notebook that runs Server 2012 as dual boot with a bunch of VMs in Hyper-V . Totally adequate for a lab setup and no need for that buzzword "the cloud".
