RE: what spam or edge server are you using?
Been using SpamTitan for a few years. It comes with Kaspersky AV and also has Clam AV. It works well for us with ~200 mailboxes, single domain. Reasonably priced. Can't compare it to other products as we haven't used any. It is supposed to be able to be clustered and handle multiple domains but I haven't used those features. The few times I've needed tech support I have opened a ticket through their web site. They have always responded quickly - the support method is usually to open a secure tunnel through the administrative interface and they work on it remotely.

RE: OWA question
In my Exchange 2003 and ISA 2006 environment I have the rule on the ISA server set to listen on the internal interface as well as the external interface, and mail.mydomain.com is set up on my internal DNS servers pointing to the internal interface on ISA server. So internal users use the same URL as external users, they hit the internal interface on ISA which brings up the FBA the same as for external users, they authenticate and get their OWA.

RE: Rules on e2k3 ent
We had an employee who, every time she invited a certain person to a meeting, received a message from a former employee who has passed away. She was so freaked by this that she was afraid to tell anyone and was convinced the deceased employee was somehow haunting her. It was only when I noticed the message in her inbox, while addressing a different issue, that she let me know this had been going on for six months. It was in this case due to delegate permissions as Michael indicated. From: Michael B.

RE: Email Archiving Solutions
I've been running MessageSolution for a few years. I have one Exchange 2003 server with about 200 mailboxes. In the beginning, it was an almost complete disaster. The size of my mail store just about doubled by the time it was done with the initial archive operation, OWA became completely inaccessible every few days, and on Exchange store.exe started crashing on a regular basis. The MessageSolution software would sometimes just stop archiving. It was so bad that I asked for a refund, but they asked me to give them a chance to make everything right. They did eventually (a couple of months of troubleshooting) get it all working, although I never did regain the space in my database. It has been working OK for a couple of years now. One thing to note, I haven't had to use tech support over a year, so this may have changed, but their developers all seem to be based in China. For any issue that required their expertise, I had to give them remote access to my EEA server and they would work on in during what was for me the overnight hours. Some other issues - make them show you everything actually working - pst import, exporting archived messages to pst files, restoring messages, etc. Some of these things seem to work through the web interface, and others don't. Some functions, you have to use a separate utility instead of the web interface - I think searching for messages and then exporting the matching messages to pst was one of these. It works seamlessly (now) in OWA - users have no indication that they are viewing a stubbed message. In Outlook, in the preview pane, stubbed messages have a button to view the message but double clicking opens the original message as usual. The Outlook plugin often gets disabled and requires reenabling in Outlook. I see this also on other Outlook plugins, e.g. the Vipre plugin we use, so I don't know if this is a problem with the plugins, our environment, or just par for the course. One thing I do use all the time is the searching the archive - I'll search the archive even for recent messages since it often faster than scrolling through my inbox if I can't remember the sender and or subject You can't do a search from within OWA - for that you have to log into the EEA web interface. So for users on the road to search their archive you would have to make the EEA server available from the outside (VPN, port forwarding, etc.). So, bottom line, I am satisfied with the product now, since over the past couple of years it has worked acceptably well, but if I had to do it all over again I would choose a different solution.

RE: OT (a little) Blackberry sync problem
The boss is still having problems. A quick look at her BB as compared to her Outlook inbox shows that she seems to be missing about a third of her messages on the BB. Running the script referenced by Phil below (thanks) shows that on the dozen or so messages I checked, the ones that were delivered to the BB have a RFID and the ones that were not delivered do not. Makes sense, but what does that mean - where do I go from here? Interestingly, according to that script over the past several days 122 of 382 of the messages in her inbox do not have RFIDs. Of my 3 other BB users, for two 100% of the messages in their Inboxes do have RFIDs, and one is missing RFIDs on 35 of 301 messages. I don't see any pattern for which messages have and which don't.

OT (a little) Blackberry sync problem
Hi all, I know just enough about Blackberries to have installed BESx and connect the devices to it, so I am in search of some guidance. Sorry for the long message. The CEO of our organization is having problems with messages synchronizing on her Blackberry. What she sees is that some (not all) messages that show up in her Outlook inbox never show up on her Blackberry. For messages that do show up on her Blackberry, when they are showing as read on her BB, sometimes they continue to show as unread in Outlook. Also messages she has deleted on her BB don't always move to Deleted Items in Outlook. Sometimes the opposite is also true - messages she has read and deleted in Outlook continue to show as new unread messages on the BB. While I was talking to her this morning I witnessed two messages from the same internal Exchange user show up in Outlook, but only the second one showed up on her BB. I only have 4 BB users here, and none of the other three have reported issues. Her Blackberry is a Storm2 9550 on Verizon BES Express 5.0.2.29 on Windows 2003 R2 SP2 Exchange 2003 SP2 on Windows 2003 SP2 What I've tried so far: Made sure Outlook cached mode was off - it was. Made sure she is leaving messages in her Outlook deleted items folder for at least a day before permanently deleting - she was. I had her do a Reconcile Now on her BB - no change. I had her do a reset by removing the battery - no change. On the BB went to Messages Options General Options and made sure Hide filed email is set to Yes Checked Messages Options Email Reconciliation settings: Delete On = Mailbox and Handheld Wireless Reconciliation = On On Conflicts = Mailbox Wins On the BESx server set Hard Deletes = true Any tips on what else I can try to do to help her out?

RE: Exchange 2003 Connection Filtering
This may or may not help in your situation, but if you are not currently using sender filtering in Exchange 2003, you can use it as a kind of hack to create a white list. You set up sender filtering to Archive filtered messages and Accept messages without notifying the sender. Leave the other two boxes unchecked. You then add the email address to the Senders list, such as *@blackberry.net to white list any email address from the blackberry.net domain. Exchange will move filtered messages to the Filter folder, usually in the mailroot\vsi 1\ folder. You can then manually move the filtered messages to the Pickup folder and it will be delivered, or you can run a scheduled task to move messages periodically.

All our incoming email is handled by our parent company's mail relays. They then pass on any mail intended for our server to my Exchange environment. Does the connection filtering in Exchange 2003 look into the headers of the email to see where the email originated from or does it just check the last connection? If it only see the last connection then this won't help me because all email always appears to come from our parent company's mail relays. The reason I ask is lately a lot our Blackberry activation messages are ending up in people's junk mail folders (I think it's related to our Outlook 2010 rollout but I'm not 100% sure yet) and it's causing my activations to fail. I figure if I can add the Blackberry network range to my connection filter that would prevent them from being tagged as junk mail.

RE: Spam Titan
Unless something has changed since I last looked at this, I believe SpamTitan treats each email address as a separate entity, so you would have to log in using one of your secondary addresses and you will see mail quarantined for that address. Not ideal if you have a few aliases. I have to admit I've never had any success attempting to contact them by phone, but have always had a quick response to email support requests. You could also try their support forum.

RE: Spam Titan
Interesting. Having only one domain and a very simple setup, generally just one email address per user, I just didn't run into any of these issues. Good input. From: Bill Humphries [mailto:nt...@hedgedigger.com] Sent: Wednesday, December 08, 2010 12:29 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Re: Spam Titan I tried it for a bit but ran into problems with licensing that was a headache for our internal small deployment. I bought what they referred to as a fifty user license...but what they really mean is email addresses. So if you have multiple distribution group email addresses those will count also. And if you have a domain that you don't want to do LDAP lookups against, then be prepared for every email address to that domain to eat up a user license. This was really annoying because I wanted to also push my personal domain email through it and let it just filter and forward to the mail server. But because I didn't use ldap on that domain it would eat up licensing. But the really, really annoying thing was that when you exceeded licensing it would eventually completely lock you out of the management interface and stop sending quarantine emails until you contacted the company.

Companies hiding pricing is a real pet peeve of mine. I have seen the other side and know what goes on with variable pricing. +1 Whenever I check out a product and there is no pricing available, I almost automatically skip over it because I know the price is going to be too high. Occasionally I'll fill out the form, am always right that it is too expensive, and then have to deal with sales calls for a product my not-for-profit can't afford. Not worth the hassle.

She needs to receive these messages, and the senders are sending them out to numerous different agencies at once, so there is zero chance of getting them to do anything differently. So we make adjustments on our rules, increasing the incoming limit from 10 15 MB. I know at some point she is going to be vexed because she didn't get a 16 or 17 MB message, and I'll be upping the limit again.

OWA Message Content not displayed
I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction with a problem I am having with Outlook Web Access on a single Exchange 2003 Standard installation. About half the time after the server is rebooted there is a problem that the message content will not display. The message list is visible, but the preview pane is completely blank. Double clicking on a message opens a new window, also completely empty. Sometimes issuing IISreset at the command prompt will 'magically' fix the problem. Other times rebooting the Exchange server fixes it. Other times, like today after several IISresets, and reboots it is still not working. This problem actually started after MessageSolution added their OWA add-in to my system to handle messages that are stubbed by their archiving software. In the past they have remoted into my server and fixed the problem for me, but I have had to wait days for them to fix it, and it is always in the middle of the night because apparently the only people they have who can do this are located in China. They have promised several times to give me instructions on how to fix this, but they never follow through. Is there anything I can look at? Is there a pretty standard way that they might have implemented this add-in that may have some typical things to look at? I know I'm fishing here, but I am not knowledgeable about how OWA and IIS work, and the vendor is almost completely unresponsive. Thanks for any guidance someone might offer.

RE: SEA - Archiver for 200 users
Definetley evaluate them in your own lab environment if possible. I made a big dumb mistake making a decision based on live demos. However when I got the system (not Sunbelt)installed it had some unexpected effects on my exchange server. One example - by the time it finished archiving all the messages in my exchange store the size of the .edb file had almost doubled. They said they 'had never seen this before' and it is apparently due to restricted views created when it queries the database. I also had random store.exe crashes while it is stubbing, the Outlook Plugin under certain conditions crashes the workstation, the OWA addin sometimes stops working making OWA unusable, - I could go on.

RE: Junk Mail Question
There is no white list in Exchange 2003 as far as I know. However, there are a few approaches you can take to help. One is that you can use Group Policy to add a list of safe senders to everyone's safe senders list. Here is a link from a quick Google search on group policy and safe senders list with instructions. I've done this - it's not hard. http://blogs.technet.com/asiasupp/archive/2007/04/26/how-to-deploy-junk- e-mail-lists-throughout-your-organization.aspx Another option - If the email always has certain unique keywords in the subject or body and you are using IMF, you can use custom weighting to effectively white list the email. It involves creating an XML file called MSExchange.UceContentFilter.xml, which you can copy and paste from the documentation and modify to your needs. Look in the release notes for SP2 or try Google. Here is on article at msexchange.org: http://www.msexchange.org/tutorials/Intelligent-Message-Filter-version-2 -IMF-v2.html The file would look something like this, using the Change=MIN setting: ?xml version=1.0 encoding=UTF-16 ? - file:///D:\ExchangeProgram\bin\MSCFv2\MSExchange.UceContentFilter.xml CustomWeightEntries xmlns=http://schemas.microsoft.com/2005/CustomWeight; CustomWeightEntry Type=SUBJECT Change=MIN Text=Unique subject / /CustomWeightEntries One other approach which I have used is to use the sender filtering function in Exchange to create a pseudo white list. It's not really what it's supposed to be used for, but this method does work as long as you aren't using sender filtering for anything now. I can't recall where I read about this originally, and there may be some caveats. Try Google. The basic idea is to add the sending email address to the list of addresses to be filtered, but instead of deleting it, archive it. Then use a scheduled task to periodically move the archived messages from the Filter folder to the Pickup folder. The steps would be Open Exchange System Manager Expand Global Settings Right Click Message Delivery and go into Properties Go to the Sender Filtering Tab Check the box to Archive filtered messages Check the box to Accept messages without notifying the sender Leave the other two boxes unchecked Add the senders you want to whitelist Apply and OK Then what I did is created a batch file with 2 lines (beware wrapping- move starts one line, exit is the second line) move C:\Exchange\Mailroot\vsi 1\Filter\*.tmp C:\Exchange\Mailroot\vsi 1\Pickup exit I made a scheduled task to run this every 30 minutes and it has worked well. -Original Message- From: David.Ricci [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, November 03, 2008 9:39 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Junk Mail Question Is there a way to add an email to an exchange 2003 whitelist if it has one.

RE: User complains that Exchange internal e-mail has huge delay
I will second this. I get this complaint a lot, either I'm not receiving any new messages or messages show up days after they were sent. Sometimes it is Outlook working offline, but more often the user has changed the view in Outlook either as Bonnie pointed out, or they are in a different folder rather than their inbox, or they have their inbox sorted with oldest messages on top and they don't scroll down to see new messages. One user repeatedly has a problem because she has thousands of messages in her inbox. Even though the scroll bar visually looks like it is at the top, she has actually moved to a message a couple of hundred down the list and all the new messages are not showing at the top of the list. -Original Message- From: Miller Bonnie L.

RE: Remote office / DC needed?
I have several branch offices some of which have their own DC and some do not. However, they are all connected to the main office by a site to site VPN. Not sure how or if this would work with each workstation using a VPN client. In the offices that do not have their own DC, authentication is over the VPN to the main office. We also have an Exchange server at the main office, and the branch office users have Outlook set up to use Exchange over the VPN the same as if they were physically in the same building. This has worked out well - unless they lose Internet access or the VPN goes down. But if you are going to have a file server there anyway, I would recommend making it a DC so that authentication is local. I am planning to add DCs to my current serverless sites when we can afford it. Sometimes implementing group policies, running logon scripts, deploying software through active directory can be slow and difficult when there is no local DC.

Hello All, I am looking at opening up a remote office and wanted to get your opinion/experience on whether or not a DC is needed in the office. It's a small office of 3 users who have been using a vpn client up to this point which has been working fine so far. Would it be advantageous to put a dc at the remote site? I want to sent them up with file and print services as well. I am just wondering if it would be better to set up a dc on that end now that they have a permanent location. we are also using exchange but it is currently located at the central office only.
