INFO: mydomain.comwork domain [EMAIL PROTECTED] work email [EMAIL PROTECTED] home email [EMAIL PROTECTED] (You guessed it, my bosses email) Ok, without creating a user in AD, I want to create a mail-enabled contact called "ME" with external address of [EMAIL PROTECTED], internal is [EMAIL PROTECTED], created with every new "object" in AD. There is NOT a user called "ME" nor any other reference to this name in AD. If someone sends from an email address of [EMAIL PROTECTED], addressed to [EMAIL PROTECTED], will automatically forward the message on to [EMAIL PROTECTED]? Or, as that TechNet articles sort of implies, you must create a user to forward to a mail-enabled contact? If people are currently just having a mail-enabled contact, without a user/mailbox, have you read this somewhere, or did you just find that out and say, wow, cool that works? During testing this theory, we found that it does work internally, however we are not live with this system, and the user database has already been "migrated"over with existing aliases and addresses. (upgrading from BSDI 4.2 Sendmail with popper so mail is probably not going to be moved, most likely it will just be merged with new mail in OE via POP3.)

RE: mail-enabled contact...
Title: Message I thought something could be pulled from the "How to mail enable a contact" section of the article. Here is the exact method I use: Give the contact two addresses, one that is local: [EMAIL PROTECTED] and one that is external: [EMAIL PROTECTED]. Set [EMAIL PROTECTED] as the primary address. Mail sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] will be forwarded to [EMAIL PROTECTED]. Only one object needs to be created in AD. Itsounds like the method used in the article and your method are identical. Therefore, I'm not sure which part you think is confusing. -Original Message-From: Carlos Garcia-Moran [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, March 18, 2002 6:20 AMTo: MS-Exchange Admin IssuesSubject: RE: mail-enabled contact... Hmmm...I think that the MS Q281926. reads a little strange and it might be confusing If you read the Q article, it actually refers to using a "contact" and a "user" which means that you have to create them both. I have always created a "x-Joe" contact with the users X-ternal address and then a AD user with our company email address. Then I use the exchange general tab , and add the X-contact to the "delivery options" forward box. Since the "mail enabled contacts" don't have the delivery Tab...

The administrator on the other site report to me that some of our mails actually delivered by their IMS. At the end we have to set the IMS at a lower cost compare to the cost for the site connector.

When moving mailboxes from one container to another is it true that a person's profile has to be refreshed by doing a check name after keying in the mailbox name? I have been testing this and find that it is true. We have 1638 mailboxes to move from one container to another. We are doing the following: back up the mailbox to a PST, delete the mailbox, add the mailbox to the correct container, restore the mailbox from the PST. Then when trying to sign in we get unable to open default folders. I thought it might be a timing (synching problem) so I wanted 20 hours and still get the same error. Please let me know if you know of an easier way to move these mailboxes. (I know Kevin Snook company has mailbox mover but that is one at a time also and we really haven't got that to work either.)

[1]Hi Kelly[2] [2]Thanks again for helping me convince my manager. -Original Message- From: Martin Reilly [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Sunday, December 23, 2001 2:10 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Anit-Virus Software for Exchange HOWEVER... If you do decide to try GroupShield from Network Associates, do NOT, repeat NOT, test it out on a server you care about. Do it on a test server that you build just for the purpose, on a separate network and in a separate Exchange organisation from your production environment. If you can arrange to do it on a separate continent (or better still another planet), that would be even better. ;) Seriously... having looked at several products, GroupShield is the only one that causes lasting damage. You'll spend weeks trying to rid your organisation of it's left-overs (changes to your organisation forms library, just for example) if you try to uninstall it. GroupShield sucks. It's terrible. It is truly awful software. Frankly, it makes Lotus Notes/Domino look like a pretty good piece of code in comparison (one of these days I'll get around to writing up my Why Notes/Domino Sucks web site, but I'll need to find an ISP that gives me more than my current 100Mb of web space first to be sure I can fit it all in... G). My personal favourite Exchange AntiVirus product is ScanMail. ScanMail is cool. It's completely reliable. It caused me no problems at all in three years. In THREE YEARS (yes, that's thirty-six months), I didn't have any reason to call for support - not once. It just installed, worked well, and caused me no problems. I've heard similar reports about Sybari's Antigen, though I've never tried it myself. I deployed ScanMail to eleven servers spread across a slow WAN and eleven separate countries in just under eleven minutes. It took me four days and approximately twenty calls to NAI support to get GroupShield just to install on one Exchange server (OK, the first ten installs were quite smooth, but FOUR DAYS to solve an installation issue on the last one??? Go figure...). I used GroupShield years ago. It sucked then. I was forced to switch from ScanMail back to GroupShield recently against my better judgement (Enterprise licensing deal... I couldn't persuade the pointies that the free software thrown in with the big desktop AV software deal was worth exactly what they were paying for it). In the six weeks since then, I have had at least DAILY dealings with NAI support. And every day, I find a new reason to wish I was still using ScanMail. -Original Message- From: Scott Schnoll [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 22 December 2001 19:16 To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Re: Anit-Virus Software for Exchange RE: Anit-Virus Software for ExchangeI vote for Trend Micro's ScanMail.

RE: Troubleshooting NDR's
IMHO, telnet is the best tool for troubleshooting NDRs. This usually tells me everything I need to know: Telnet host 25 Ehlo mail.fluke.com Mail from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Rcpt to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Agreed, if the host is a forwarder then there is not much you can tell (ie. Error 552 or 553), unless the host it is forwarding to has 25 open to the internet and you know the server name. You *could* turn up smtp interface logging on your IMS for a brief period of time. You should then start seeing relevant messages in the event logs. If you turn up smtp protocol log, you will start to see log files in the imcdata\log directory. Search the internet for SMTP Reply and Error Codes, print out 100 copies and use them as wallpaper. If anyone asks you about it, recite the codes and meanings like Dustin Hoffman in the Rainman.
