RE: Problem in sending mail to specific host
It seems that a lot of mail servers will just go to the A record for the Domain if there is not an MX record listed in DNS, but My Exchange server running on NT4 SP6a and Exchange 5.5 SP4 would not make that adjustment. If running the nslookup with the query set = to MX gives no result, that is in all probability your problem as your Exchange server doesn't know where to send the mail. I will have to defer to the DNS experts on the list as possible solutions. In my case I was able to work with the admin at my friend's ISP to get proper MX records set up on his DNS. That solved my issue. Have you contacted the folks hosting the list you can't send to about this? The lowest numerical MX record would be the primary mail server if there were more than one. Typically there is at least one backup server that will accept the mail if the primary is down or too busy to answer. It would also be listed in the MX records with a higher number. An example would be: C:\nslookup Default Server: XXX..com Address: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx Set querry=MX Getus.com Server: XXX..com Address: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx Non-authoritative answer: Getus.com MX preference = 20, mail exchanger = mail.getus.com* this would be the backup* Getus.com MX preference = 10, mail exchanger = mail.getus.com* this would be the Primary * Getus.com nameserver = DNS1.getus.com Getus.com nameserver = DNS.getus.com Mail.getus.com internet address = 205.182.50.5 Jay Personette [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.mavtech.com/ (281) 455-3993 -Original Message- From: Bao, Gang [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, July 26, 2002 1:39 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Problem in sending mail to specific host Thanks, Jay.

His ISP had some DNS issues as it turned out. Improperly enter MX records to be specific. For some reason it only seemed to affect my Exchange Server (I am sure there were others, but he was getting mail from other people). Marty Richards, one of the list regulars got me going with the following: On your mail server: Start - run - nslookup set query=mx his.domain.com Does it return MX records at all? If so, do they match what you were expecting? If not, can you telnet from your Exchange box to the MX record with lowest priority on port 25? The MX query above should return names, such as mail.his.domain.com, not IPs. You might want to check the names resolve to the IPs you expect. The far end isn't having any other troubles that they know of? I worked with the admin at his ISP to get their MX records cleaned up and all has been fine since then.

RE: Default recipient????
William, I created a mailbox as [EMAIL PROTECTED] and was trying to get the messages to go there. I guess it must be send mail I was thinking of with a default or *@domain.com. I am trying to work out a nice way to deal with users who are not happy that their friends can't spell their names and don't use address books... I haven't done this in a long time, and it may have been before my exchange days...but sending copies of the NDRs to the Admin mailbox will work as well I suppose. It may have been using a send mailbox between Exchange and the Internet to forward anything not in the alias list to the postmaster mailbox on Exchange. Thanks for your suggestion, Not exactly what I wanted, but it will do.

RE: Exchange Conference
Yeah, but why do her posts make it past the list rules with the Incredimail footer? Since I had word running as the email editor on my laptop it actually shows up as an attachment when I received it from the list. Without word as the editor would it not register as an attachment? That seems a little strange, but since I generally try not to use word as the editor, I have not seen this issue before.

RE: Personal Folders Suggestions to Users
Well, you could move his PST files to a network drive and set up remote access for him, better yet if he can get broadband at home, set up a VPN solution allowing him access to his network drive from his home PC. Then he has both his mailbox and PSTs available from both places without trying to keep two copies synced. If broadband is not available, you could set the home PC up with copies of the PSTs, and use either briefcase or Offline Files to keep them synced depending on the desktop OS. Also his PSTs at the office would get backed up nightly.

Later Brent -Original Message- From: Desiree Herrmann [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, June 21, 2002 3:38 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Personal Folders Suggestions to Users I wonder if anyone might have a suggestion or two for the following dilemma... Exchange Server 5.5, Outlook 2000 I am trying to give my boss options that will work for him to keep the size of his pst files manageable along with being able to get at the files easily... Some of his pst's have been to hell and back, but I've been able to get at them somehow each time there has been an issue to this point... I thought I was there with splitting up his Personal Folders by year, etc. and showing him how to check the size so they don't get too big. He claims he goes into all his mail at different times and wants it all to be accessible all the time. He's now decided he wants to be able to pull up the same Personal Folders at home that he does here at work. Then he also wants to move new items into those Folders both here and at home in one step. He decided that it would work so he went and copied his pst file to a CD and copied it to his hard drive at home, he couldn't get it open... I haven't been to his house but will most likely make a trip over there. So, I've been trying to come up with a solution that would help him without too much work on his part... So, I've tested with a small meaningless Personal Folder in my account, I find it easiest in this scenario to copy messages into Personal Folders here at work, then to actually move the messages into the folder from my Inbox when I get home, this would mean going through mail twice and I'm sure that won't go over well. I have also suggested that he keep Personal Folders on CD's, but he doesn't like that idea. I imagine there will be a ton of messages, why doesn't he get a laptop, he has one, but he likes his two Dell Precision workstations and would rather keep his mail on them... He's particular about the way he does things and likes what he likes, which, at times can make my job a bit difficult... I know I'm not the only one.

Weird Mail Routing Problem - Need help from the wizards
I recently began having problems routing mail to just one Internet Mail Domain. I have spent a number of hours on the problem with the mail admin at the other site and we are now pulling out what little hair that remains. I am running Exchange 5.5 SP4 on W2K SP2 and he is running an Internet Mail Server - Rockliffe SMTPRA 4.5.6 Specifically MailSite 4.5.6.0. He had some DNS issues that he has since corrected, but it still has not solved the problem. Initially I screwed up and posted this question a couple of days ago indicating the mail was leaving my server...it is not, I did not refresh the view on my outbound mail queue. The error that shows on my server is [network error during host resolution]. We can ping each other by name, and now after he cleaned up his DNS a ping -a to the ip of his mail server also returns the proper name. I have flushed my DNS caches, stopped and restarted IMS connector, rebooted my entire server, flushed my proxy server running on WinRoute Pro, disabled the proxy server, stopped and restarted the DNS forwarders on both my DNS servers and the WinRoute box. The really weird part is that from the Exchange box I can telnet to port 25 on his mail server by IP and by Name with no problem, but for some reason Exchange cannot resolve the hostname evidently. We have both double-checked our filters and even turned them off for testing purposes. I can send mail anywhere else in the world, and I can receive mail from him. Up until three weeks ago, we have not had this problem. I have also reapplied the Service packs to both the W2K and Exchange Server. I am begging for help here, as we are both frazzled beyond belief. As and added pressure point, both of our bosses are friends and used to exchange 10 or twelve emails a week with each other...Any ideas are welcome, as it is probably something simple that I am overlooking, but I am in brain meltdown.

RE: Weird Mail Routing Problem - Need help from the wizards
Thanks Marty! Looks like I have some kind of DNS issue as well. I tried the nslookup with the MX query (DOH! Told you I had a fried brain) and sure enough, my DNS servers can't find it. I have them (running on W2K) set up to use my ISP's DNS servers as forwarders, and so far they have been fine for Web and other stuff as well as most every internet mail domain, but for some reason, the lookup comes back instantly as not found for his mail domain, rather than trying the forwarders (I am guessing as I have the timeout set to 10 seconds). I have fixed it for now by hard coding my ISP's DNS servers in my Exchange box I guess it is now time for a stiff drink and some sleep, then on to trouble shooting my DNS...I can't for the life of me figure out why that lookup evidently stopped working after so long, but I have to imagine it is one of the hot fixes I have applied to my servers recently as it worked for the longest time...

RE: Weird Mail Routing Problem - Need help from the wizards
Marty, after some additional kicking of the brain cells, I did another nslookup MX query for mail.hisdomain.com and got the proper response, i.e. his name servers and the ip of mail.hisdomain.com. However the MX query just on hisdomain.com comes back as not found. Throughout the life of this problem I have been able to telnet to his MailServer by IP as well as mail.hisdomain.com and hisdomain.com. So I am guessing that he needs to edit his MX record to drop mail for my server to recognize it? My poor brain is more confused than ever now...

We can ping each other by name, and now after he cleaned up his DNS a ping -a to the ip of his mail server also returns the proper name. I have flushed my DNS caches, stopped and restarted IMS connector, rebooted my entire server, flushed my proxy server running on WinRoute Pro, disabled the proxy server, stopped and restarted the DNS forwarders on both my DNS servers and the WinRoute box. The really weird part is that from the Exchange box I can telnet to port 25 on his mail server by IP and by Name with no problem, but for some reason Exchange cannot resolve the hostname evidently. We have both double-checked our filters and even turned them off for testing purposes. I can send mail anywhere else in the world, and I can receive mail from him. Up until three weeks ago, we have not had this problem. I have also reapplied the Service packs to both the W2K and Exchange Server. I am begging for help here, as we are both frazzled beyond belief. As and added pressure point, both of our bosses are friends and used to exchange 10 or twelve emails a week with each other...Any ideas are welcome, as it is probably something simple that I am overlooking, but I am in brain meltdown. If there is any other info that I can provide that I have left out, call me an idiot and ask.

RE: Weird Mail Routing Problem - Need help from the wizards
Thanks again Marty, The admin at the other domain admits that he is no DNS whip, neither am I for that matter. He had a major power outage a couple of weeks ago that caught him away from his office and ran longer than his UPS runtime. He had to rebuild his DNS server (running on NT4) and used an old backup. We have found a lot of old junk he is purging like records for hosted domains that have moved on, that previous admins never purged when they moved elsewhere. I suspect that he set his MX record incorrectly, and as you surmise, a lot of people have their send mail set to look for the A record if the MX record is missing. It is a fairly small ISP with light mail volume, so the problem may have gone un-noticed as far as most mail is getting delivered to him. I will check with him tomorrow and work on this some more. To further back up you idea, the MX query to hisdomain.com does not actually show a MailServer, just the name servers. These are the results I get from my ISP's DNS servers on the MX queries getus.com primary name server = dns.getus.com responsible mail addr = hostmaster.getus.com serial = 991037 refresh = 3600 (1 hour) retry = 600 (10 mins) expire = 1209600 (14 days) default TTL = 7200 (2 hours) mail.getus.com mail.getus.com MX preference = 10, mail exchanger = mail.getus.com getus.com nameserver = DNS1.getus.com getus.com nameserver = DNS.getus.com mail.getus.com internet address = 205.182.50.5 Your replies have been most informative and I really appreciate your taking the time to delve deeper in to the issue with me.

From the sound of it, he accidentally created MX records for a sub-domain instead of his intended domain. If so, this would be breaking his mail from anywhere Alternatively his DNS is right and your server is getting the wrong info from wherever. Using nslookup, try asking some other domains on the net. Use the server 61.8.0.113 directive once in nslookup (that IP is a big name server over this way). Also, its possible to set sendmail (which might be what the ISP is using) to attempt to deliver mail to the A record of a domain instead of the MX's if an MX cannot be found...

RE: Remote Mail users
I used to always set my VPN users up with the ability to work offline and set their client to quick sync just their inbox when they connected. If they were gonna be connected for a while, they could also sync all there other folders as well. You can set up many different sync operations and choose the appropriate one for each situation from the dropdown in the outlook client. Worked exceptionally well for road warriors hitting a quick VPN connection at airport kiosks also.

RE: 16 GB Limit?
I am not one to say I told you so very often, but I really enjoyed it that time...They coughed up for some really great hardware when I got them to move to Exchange from a Unix mail system, but they didn't want to go the extra money for the Enterprise edition. I had spec'ed Enterprise in the original project plan and had clearly stated the limits of the standard edition at that time. And many times in weekly status meetings as I watched the size of the store grow.

Exchange 5.5 on NT4 Server in W2K Mixed Mode Domain
I have a fairly Static userbase and stable situation. I upgraded my W2K Domain Controllers to SP2 a while back on my Domain running in Mixed Mode. My Exchange Server is running SP4 on NT4SP6a and when I tried to add a user to the permissions on an existing mailbox today, I was unable to. The message indicated that there was no network path available when I tried to access the NT account list. However I can log on to the server with live rather than cached domain credentials so NT authentication is working for the base server, and users can log on to their mailboxes with no problem.
