Re: Exchange 2007 - Distro List Restrictions not Working
Hi Robert, I you have a large numbers of users , then i suggest you to add them into one single group and allow permissions on that group to send emails to the list. Thank you, Ravi On Fri, Apr 26, 2013 at 10:25 PM, Robert cato.rob...@gmail.com wrote: We have a DL for our entire organization with limits on who can send to that DL. We recently found out that the restrictions that we had setup do not work. Because of the issues around testing with that DL we setup another DL for testing. At first the restrictions worked, but we had only put a few people into the authorized senders list. As we added users we got to a point where the restrictions failed. Sorry, I do not have the specifics on when it started failing. Is there a limit on how many people can be in the authorized senders list? Any ideas how to fix? Setup: Exchange 2007 Version 8.3 (Build 83.6). 2 Mailbox servers clustered with CCR, 2 hub transport / CAS servers.

Re: whitelist overwritten
Hi Jean, The parameter BypassedSenderDomains is a type of MultiValuedProperty . Hence its like a array. When ever you user Set-ContentFilterConfig -BypassedSenderDomains domain1.com,domain2.com The sender domains considers that now you are assigning the array with two domains it will just keep replacing the value of the parameter BypassedSenderDomains. This is the reason we use the format “@{Add=xxx}” which specifies that keep the current list and the following entry to it. Please let me know if you have any queries.

Re: 2013 mass delegation
Hi, You can definitely use shell to achieve this. Get all the salaes persons alias or emailaddresses into a notepad. use the following command on the exchange shell $sales=Get-content c:\salespersons.txt foreach($person in $sales) { Add-MailboxFolderPermission -Identity $person:\Calendar -User SalesManager alias -Rights Access Type } Access Type is normally ReadItems , but you can change as per your needs Hope this helps.

Another option is to create a 1GB database and include it in the DAG. Since the Keep deleted items for (days) setting is set on a per database level, you can set this new 1GB database for 1 day. That way, it's different from the current 60 day setting you have for your other databases. Once you move the mailbox to this new 1GB database, it will inherit the database settings. I prefer the first option as there are less steps involved. -- From: x...@minneapolis.edu To: exchangelist

Exchange 2010 SP2 UR3 Standard two node DAG Standard 10 MEG email attachment limit Project: Implement XEROX Webprint so remote or wireless students can submit print jobs to a specific campus mailbox which they can then print at any campus XEROX printer. ( We know how to make this XEROX process work to get the final printing outcome). My concern is EXCHANGE storage space on our servers, as we are a bit tight and no data on how much will be taken with this project with all the attachments. FYI - Vendor indicates that we need to use POP3, but that IMAP may be an option. Vendor also indicates that with POP3 and their product, all messages will be REMOVED from our EXCHANGE server as soon as forwarded to the XEROX web print server. I questioned vendor if it is really removed, or simply moved to Deleted Items and then to Recoverable Items folder ( formerly Dumpster) but vendor is not certain. I suspect I could put a specific retention tag on the mailboxes in question so Deleted Items are removed after 24 hours, but not sure if this can be done with individual mailbox on the Recoverable Items folder, as our global setting is 60 days. Otherwise, storage space could be taken up in Recoverable Items folder for 60 days. In Summary, my goal is to make sure anything sent to the XEROX print mailboxes is deleted after 24-48 hours and not taking space on our Exchange DAG. There is no requirement to preserve this print data, nor do we want to.*** * Hoping for any input or questions if I was not clear in the above.
