Thanks for the responses,


Talking about spam what is the best thing to use to filter this stuff out.  Either on keyword or domain.  I have looked at the realtime black hole list but it seems to only really work with sendmail or some other non exchange mail server.  I currently run exchange 5.5 sp4 any suggestions/comments on what packages are good or should be avoided.

Hi Richard,
 
Most likely its a misaddressed spam - your mail server is trying to
return it to the "@yahoo" originator as unknown recipient. Probably the
yahoo account never existed (headers are easily forged) or Yahoo have
disactivated it due to the spammout.
 
That message is a yahoo standard for bouncing spam cases - they probably
have a different message for open relays ;)
 
Just for interest, if Yahoo are in the practice of suspending
spam-associated mail accounts, what would stop anyone forging a mail out
on behalf of any yahoo user and suspending the account? *shrug* I guess
this is a problem with SMTP really, as there is no authentication.
 
Cheers,
Marty

Are the POP mailboses setup to use this name or are they all using www.company.com.  If so then you need to change to POP accounts as it is the POP server that does not know the recipient and not the exchange server.

But if you use @www.. as site adressing mail gets through, and recieve a

They use the pop3 connector in exchange for this. 
Tried updating exchange to sp4, no luck. 


Anyone could help me? Thanks in advance.

You'll have to allow relaying from the second server on the first server's
IMC.  Also, depending on your network topology, you may want to try adding
an LMHOST entry for the other server on each Exchange machine.  It
_shouldn't_ be necessary, esp. if using WINS, but it could be worth a look.


Also, have you allowed sufficient time for replication to occur, or forced a
Directory Synch?

Ok that's great,


I've got a server built to that spec with NT4/exchange installed patched and
Joined to the existing site now.


If I now use the Mailbox move function within exchange admin I can move a
mailbox (mine) to the new server, connect using outlook and all looks well.
I can send an email to somebody homed on the 1st server in the site BUT he
can't send back to me!! Nor do I get email from the internet


I installed the second server in the site using the default exchange 5.5
install join site options


Are there any changes I need to make to the 1st server to allow email to
flow to the second server?


Thanks for any help offered (including URL links to doing this with Exchange

Each server requires it's own DB and logs.  IMS can be shared out of a
single server.


IIRC, the preferred configuration (if you have the disks) is Mirrored Logs
and OS partition and Raid 5 Database partition.  However, a straight RAID 5
wil work (might not be optimal, but it will work)

My question is with the second server can I run a single Raid 5 array with

Addendum to below.  


Institute a Deleted Item retention timeframe(we use 31 days).  If an item
needs to be restored, it can be brought back from the Dumpster within that
timeframe.

Online backup using Microsoft documented APIs.  Restore of individual
mailboxes are not done...  you reload the Information Store(s),  prefereably
to a recovery server, then EXMERGE or connect via a MAPI client and export
just the info needed.  Also, reduced backup window, flushing of transaction
logs (no need to use circular logging, which means that in the event of a DR
situation, you can replay the logs up to the point of failure, if the logs
are available).

Hi. Using Exchange 5.5 SP4, on NT 4 SP6a, all Exchange patches applied. 
I use BackupExec 8.5 as a backup program, and use it's Exchange Agent to
backup my Ex 5.5. I've started getting the following message during the
backup log:


Media Name: "Media created 4/23/2002 05:45:27 PM" 
Backup of "\\EXCHANGE\Microsoft Exchange Mailboxes " 
Backup set #5 on storage media #1 
Backup set description: "DailyBackupJob" 
Backup Type: NORMAL - Back Up Files - Reset Archive Bit 
Backup started on 4/23/2002 at 6:17:40 PM. 
Directory ? [Employee Alias]?Reminders was not found, or
could not be accessed. 
None of the files or subdirectories contained within will be backed up. 
^ ^ ^ ^ ^ 
Unable to open the item  []?Reminders? -
skipped. 
(obviously, I've removed the employee's real name from the message). 
All else seems fine with this employee; he's a Outlook 2K user, and he does
get reminders for tasks and calendar (I've verified that). He notices no
unusual errors or messages from Outlook. And the backup program is getting
all the other mailboxes ("Backed up 69804 mail message(s) in 1213 folder(s)
in 57 mailbox(es). 1 item was skipped."). Haven't found anything in the
KnowledgeBase that seems to apply.


Thoughts, anyone?

OT: Handspring Visor Integration with Exchange

[Richard McMahon]

Title: Message



Sorry for the 
slightly off topic question.
 
Have any of you 
successfully managed to integrate a Handspring Visor with exchange.  I know 
you can do it with the cradle but is it possible to use a modem to dial up 
onto the internet and then retreive mail using say POP3?  My CEO has asked 
if this is doable.  By looking through various pages it seems possible but 
I havent yet found anything to say it has been done.  Aventgo, etc seem to 
offer solutions but using some sort of server side software.  I am 
wondering whether integration would be better performed by ditching the 
Hamdspring and getting a pocket PC like the iPAQ from 
Compaq.
 
Any input would be 
greatly appreciated.
 
TIA
 
Richard

RE: EXchange 5.5 OWA on different server.

[Richard McMahon]

Install IIS on server
Put EX5.5 CD in drive
Run setup
Deselect everything appartfrom OWA
Following instructions on screen and specify the remote exchange server
Install SP of your choice for exchange

Thats basically it.  You do have to make some changes for ssl but this will
get it running fairly quickly.

Oh yeah point your browser at http:\\\exchange\

RE: OWA Server

[Richard McMahon]

Bonnie,

You could have a look at the Web Service object, it contains counters to
measure users/traffic on the web server.  There also appears to be a
MSExchangeWEB object which will provide counters for the OWA part to give
you an idea of load.  Because you share the OWA with exchange atm it will be
difficult to separate the processor load / mem usage out.  Also if this is
going in the DMZ, it will effect the firewall as all traffic will pass
through it from either side of the LAN.  

Let me know how you get on

Richard

Richard:
Thanks for the feedback.  Our old Exchange box is  an Alpha with 512MB ram-I'm not sure what the processor speed is,
but it is a DEC-221164.  Obviously, it must go and become something else
(like replacing our syslog server!) since it can't run E2k.  It has been
bearing the burden with 5.5, but IS coming close to being overloaded.  I've
been watching it closely as we've added users to the system this last
year-processor queue is an average of 1-3, with spikes to 10 during the
daytime hours, eventually it starts some paging to disk (but very little)
and the processor can jump from 30-90% at times.  We are not adding a large
number of users to the system over the next few months.  

As for the gigabit, we did just get gigabit core switches in, but I'll have
to check with our Network Admin about the DMZ-you are probably right about
it not being there yet as we have very few DMZ servers.

I think we do have a decent percentage of OWA users.  There are some teacher
assistants, for example, who don't necessarily have their own pcs (they must
share with classroom teacher).  They often log on via OWA to check their
mail briefly without logging off the teacher.  From the number of
instruction packets we've sent out, I would GUESS there are probably 200-400
people who regularly use OWA either during the work day or while at home,
but that wouldn't be concurrent accesses.  It is always much higher in the
summertime and during break periods.  Is there a specific counter I can log
to watch OWA connections that will tell me how many users are on the system
(vs. how many files are open via OWA)?

Thanks,
Bonnie M.

Bonnie,

What spec is the old exchange box?  What is your average OWA usage, I take
your 1600-1700 users mainly use Outlook.  If it is only to handle a small
number of concurrent users then the PII with more ram  (256MB ish) would be
more than fine.  The only reason for the RAID would be for protection as
performance should be mostly related to RAM/Processor and your internet
pipe.  As for a gigbit NIC, I cannot see how this would increase the
performance unless your DMZ port on the firewall is also gigabit.  Also you
dont really need a lot of disk space for OWA so larger drives would not
probably be a huge benefit either.

Hope this is helpful, just my 2c worth ;)

Subject: OWA Server


I'm starting to investigate hardware for our eventual (maybe by winter
break?) migration to Exchange 2000 from 5.5.  Our current Exchange server is
running SSL OWA on the same server as Exchange.  When we move to 2000, we
are looking at having a Server for Exchange, and a separate Win2k IIS5
server in the DMZ that runs OWA.

We already have an idea of what we'll be purchasing for the Exchange server,
but I'm looking for recommendations to spec out the server that will run
OWA.  We have almost 1800 exchange accounts, probably 1600-1700 of which are
in use and might be accessed via OWA.  Single server, single site (although
we'd have 2 up during the migration, we will end up with one again).  This
IIS server would only run OWA and not other major services such as www/ftp
sites, dns, etc.

We have a few older "generic" server boxes that are currently being taken
out of service and reassigned as we consolidate domains, and I'm wondering
if one of these would serve this purpose.  One is a PII 266 w/96 ram,
Adaptec Ultra2 4GB and 9GB hds, 100MB Intel server NIC.  We would probably
consider buying a hardware raid controller, more memory, some larger hard
drives, and possibly a gigabit NIC, if you think the processor could handle
the requests and it would cost sufficiently less.  If this wouldn't work,
our current contracted vendor is Dell, so we would be looking at something
from them.

Thanks for your input, comments, corrections, flames ;)-I'll gladly provide
more info as needed.  I really don't have any idea at this point as I'm
diving h

RE: OWA Server

[Richard McMahon]

Bonnie,

What spec is the old exchange box?  What is your average OWA usage, I take
your 1600-1700 users mainly use Outlook.  If it is only to handle a small
number of concurrent users then the PII with more ram  (256MB ish) would be
more than fine.  The only reason for the RAID would be for protection as
performance should be mostly related to RAM/Processor and your internet
pipe.  As for a gigbit NIC, I cannot see how this would increase the
performance unless your DMZ port on the firewall is also gigabit.  Also you
dont really need a lot of disk space for OWA so larger drives would not
probably be a huge benefit either.

Hope this is helpful, just my 2c worth ;)

Richard

RE: Exchange Server Memory Limiter

[Richard McMahon]

Get more ram as 75MB is pretty low for store usage.  I guess your server
only has 128MB, bump it up to 256MB or even better 512MB.

Subject: RE: Exchange Server Memory Limiter


The Optimizer allows you to limit the amount of memory used by Exchange.

How much RAM does the server have if 75Mb for STORE.EXE might be a problem?
Our STORE.EXE is currently using c. 170Mb - of 512Mb, and supports 350 users
fine.  (Exchange 5.5 SP4 on NT4.0 SP6a)

A while back we found limiting the amount of memory used made no positive
difference to memory problems we were experiencing - if anything the effect
was adverse - so we reverted back to letting Exchange look after itself.  In
the end we found the culprit wasn't in fact Exchange at all, but the memory
leak of a much smaller program (Track-It! Receive: monitors a mailbox to
pull all work requests into our job-tracking system - it now runs on another
server!).

Anyon ever see 
this.
Hello all,I've got what may be a unique problem. It appears 
that the Dell PERC RAIDcontroller  (various revisions, versions, 
etc) is crashing Exchange 5.5 SP4on a fairly regular basis. Exchange is 
left in a corrupt state and must berestored from a backup. This is our 
platform:Win2k Server SP1Dell 4400 PowerEdge ServerPerc 
3/3Di RAID controller with writeback caching turned *OFF*Exchange 5.5 
SP4About 120 users  and an IS of 23 GB.2 Containers on the 
RAID, one RAID 5 (holds the priv and pub.ebd) and theother a simple 
1-disk container (hold the logfiles)This is the root Exchange site 
for our company; each office (about 60) has alocal Exchange 5.5 
installation.For about a year, we've had problems with the RAID and 
Exchange. On multipleoccasions we've experienced a failure in the RAID 
which caused the RAID tofail-out a disk drive (although subsequent diag 
shows no disk problems).Exchange has become corrupt consistently when 
this happened. Also, when theRAID controller issues a "Battery Charge 
OK" message (it is a trickle-chargecache battery), Exchange often 
hiccups with a trashed log file or corruptdatabase.We've reported 
this problem to Dell tech support repeatedly. Over the year,we've been 
given new RAID cards, SCSI controllers, disk drives,motherboards, as 
well as a totally new server. The problem keeps occurring,and now we're 
looking at mirroring software in order to recover morequickly. But we 
have no real solution.Question #1: is this a unique situation, or 
are others experiencing problemssuch as this?Questrion #2: is 
the size of our IS a problem (23 GB), since the start ofthese problems 
seems to have followed on the heels of the growth of IS?Any feedback 
on this would be much appreciated, as it is driving us batty.[EMAIL PROTECTED]

  server
  I know this has been addressed before but please 
  bear with me. I'm ramping up to build a single mailbox recovery server. 
  I've read the Exchange 5.5 Disaster Recovery Server white paper. I'm using 
  ArgggServIT 6.61 on a member server with agents to backup the current 
  Exchange server which is a BDC Dell with a mirrored set for the OS, 
  mirrored set for the log files and a Raid 5 with striping for the 
  database. The recovery server will have two large IDE drives. 
  So
   
  1)    I build the recovery server 
  as a member of the domain, installing NT and Exchange with the exact 
  service packs as the current Exchange BDC. Will this create any issues 
  with two Exchange servers on my network? I realize when I install Exchange 
  on the recovery box I create a new site with the same site and 
  organization name as the existing Exchange server, not join 
  site.
  2)    Once the recovery server is 
  built and on my LAN I can then light some candles and sacrifice some 
  chickens and restore the Private Store to the recovery server across the 
  network from my member back up server. Then export the mailbox I need to a 
  PST and attach it to the required mailbox. 
   
  Am I missing anything? Two servers on the network 
  running Exchange worries me for some reason. Does the partitioning matter 
  on the recovery server? I plan to break the first drive into two 
  partitions, one for the OS and one for the logs. Second drive I'll use for 
  the database. I'm really trying to avoid shooting myself in the foot. 
  Thanks in advance for your wisdom and flames.

I like it when the recipient SMTP handler returns the

That way you can assess if your male package is the right

Without that information, one might try sending and 
resending until the male fits.

More information that I should have included in first post: 
  
I use a Linux box to forward mail to the exchange 2k server which is 
behind a Checkpoint firewall.  I have checked the orbz list and my ips 
are not listed. 
  
Unfortunately I don't have much linux knowledge and the commands posted 
don't seem to be working.  Any more help would be appreciated.

Start a Telnet session by using the following command: 
  
telnet (Exchange Server IP Address) 25 
If this works, you receive the following response from the IMC: 
220 site.company.com Microsoft Exchange Internet Mail Connector version

Begin communication by typing the following command:

You receive the following response:

Did 
you do the test on both boxes ex2K and linux relay?  If the linux box alows 
the relay then you have to dissable it there unless all mail is forwarded to the 
ex2k box and not delivered using DNS.

RE: Can not access Email Acct

Have you tried leaving the machine for a while to see if it is just the
number of mails in the inbox that is taking the time.  Leave it overnight
and see what happens.

Just a thought.

I have one user whos account I can not access.  When I try, Outlook
(O2K) hangs.  I have deleted the profile and recreated it.  I have tried
accessing his account from different machines.  I have rebooted the
server.

When I launch Outlook, it opens, I can see the inbox, but as soon as I
click on something, it hangs.

I am running E2K on W2K.

Any ideas?  I am new to Exchange.

Is there a way for you to have an email automatically sent out once a week.
The reason I ask is that the company wants a e-mail sent out every Monday
morning telling everyone to complete there billable time sheets.  If anyone
knows how to do this please let me know.

  As

  You 
  should NOT be able to access Exchange via Outlook over the internet. If this
