Free/busy data error
We had 2 exchange 5.5 servers in our NT environment. One was the bridgehead server (mailserver 1)that connected to our parent site. Both contained mailboxes. I recently moved all users to non bridgehead server (mailserver 2). I made mailserver 2 the bridgehead server and almost everything works great. The problem is some users get the following message: Unable to update free/busy data. The contents of this public folder are currently unavailable. Either the Microsoft Exchange Server computer servicing this public folder is down or the public folder has not been replicated to this server. Also, when I try to access some Public folders, my Outlook XP client says it's trying to connect to the former bridgehead. I left the orignal bridgehead listed under sites in exchange admin because I wanted to make sure everything worked properly. Does anyone know what I need to do to resolve this? I'm assuming I need to bring the old bridgehead back up and move a role, just not sure what. Thanks, List Charter and FAQ at: http://www.sunbelt-software.com/exchange_list_charter.htm
RE: Free/busy data error
Mailserver 1 is still available, just switched off. The Public folders are actually provided by our parent company. They don't even reside on mailserver 1, which is interesting. List Charter and FAQ at: http://www.sunbelt-software.com/exchange_list_charter.htm
POP account in Exchange environment
We have an all NT 4 domain with a 5.5 exchange server. We have a few pop accounts set up for a few people. I've tried to add another one, but with no luck. Is there some sort of static mapping that has to be set up from the client to the exchange server before it will work?

RE: Block external email
Thanks. The restrictions had the option to move the message into the Turf directory... Where is that? List Charter and FAQ at: http://www.sunbelt-software.com/exchange_list_charter.htm
Transaciton logs in 5.5
We had to turn off circular logging for Arcserver to backup exchnage a while back. Anyway, the information store won't start up because it says the transaction logs are too full. I re-enabled circular logging, but the information store still won't start. Any ideas? List Charter and FAQ at: http://www.sunbelt-software.com/exchange_list_charter.htm
Open someone mailbox with yours, and locating old emails
If within Exchange 5.5 I have inherited permissions to someones mailbox and then I add their mailbox to my Outlook, should I be able to open their mailbox while they have it open as well? I can't expand the mailbox currently and I have full permissions to it. I wondered if it's because they have their inbox opened. Also, management asked me if possible to pull old emails from a particular person from 6 months ago. Other than backups, can this be done? I seem to remember a setting somewhere in exchange to do this... thanks, List Charter and FAQ at: http://www.sunbelt-software.com/exchange_list_charter.htm
Re: Host Unreachable in IMC
I had that happen and the problem was one person was having their email forwarded to a pop email account. The pop got full and would reject the forwarded email. The IMS would continue to try and send it, which would clog up the queue. Then others would show Host Unreachable. Once I turned off forwarding on the problem user, the queue cleared out and all was good. Another time I had a similiar issue, the problem was a DNS server. Good Luck List Charter and FAQ at: http://www.sunbelt-software.com/exchange_list_charter.htm
An email in the IMS
Running Exchange 5.5, sp4 on a NT 4.0, sp6 server. We have a traveling executive here who had us set up his domain email account to forward email to his ameritech and aol account. Anyway, someone sent him an attachment that his Ameritech account rejects. So what happens is that the IMS queues the email message and continues to try and send it, but it keeps getting rejected. So he gets these rejection messages and the IMS fills up and boggs down email traffic. I went to his local PC and opened up Outlook and found the email that contained the file that was too big and deleted it early this morning. BUT!, the message for some reason keeps queueing into the IMS Queue. I delete them out of the queue, but they keep reappearing. I don't know what to do at this point. Help!

Very cool. I caught it only after a few hours of what the heck is going on. Thanks a lot! List Charter and FAQ at: http://www.sunbelt-software.com/exchange_list_charter.htm
Strange IMS problem
I'm baffled! All NT 4.0 network, Exchange 5.5 with sp4, server NT 4 with sp6. Our email comes through our parent company so the email address is [EMAIL PROTECTED] We have a partial T1 connection our site with our parent. Here is what's happening. External Incoming SMTP comes in fine. External Outgoing goes out, but extremely slow. Our IMS Queue has a lot of emails in it. Yesterday, when I would click on details of a message in the queue, it would say host unreachable. It was weird because I could email out to a colleges domain and a yahoo account, but not a hotmail or aol account. This morning, I noticed the hotmail emails finally went out after hours of sitting in the queue. Apparently, all the emails willgo out, but it takes 1 - 3 hours. Looking in event viewer, the only error that appears to be applicable is an IMC error under application. The error message is event ID 4132, Technet shows that exact event and error message and suggests incorrect information in the Routing Address tab of the Connected Sites property page of the Interent Mail Connector. I checked and all the information is correct. DNS is working properly. Any suggestion of theories would be helpful and appreciated.

Exchange 5.5 outgoing external email
Our outgoing smtp email suddenly quit working. There is no error codes on the exchange 5.5 server. Incoming smtp works and all internal email works. It's been rebooted. Event viewer show no problems. Here is the messages I get when sending out: 501 5.1.8 [EMAIL PROTECTED]... Domain of sender address [EMAIL PROTECTED] does not exist The message that caused this notification was: It says domain of sender address does not exist We use our ISP's DNS servers. Is that the problem? I can nslookup the DNS server that is listed in the exchange server and it does resolve our domain name. ANy ideas?
