RE: Public Folder Message
If you right click on a PF in Outlook, choose properties, then the Administration tab, There is a Folder Assistant button, you should be able to set up a rule on the PF to do what you want. Or you can use the Moderated Foder option as well.

/3GB switch
Hey all, I have a simple question: Does anyone know if running without the '/3GB' switch in the boot.ini on an Exchange 2000 server with 2GB of RAM could cause message delivery problems? The Virtual memory error is showing up every hour in the event log. The Server is E2k SP1, with about 800 users. We had a few issues with messages that got delayed in sending out to the internet, it looks like they were getting stuck in the SMTP connector. Thanks for any help!

Messages within the site work fine, or from the Internet to the 5.5 server to a mailbox on the E2k server. I've looked in archives, knowledge base, white papers...basically the consensus is that anything going to an E2k server is considered inbound and it should recognize an address within the site.

Exchange Operation 5.5 vs. 2000
I have a question, First here is the environment: 3 Exchange 5.5-SP3 Servers(Win2k SP2), this is the main e-mail environment. A sendmail server relays outgoing and incoming mail. Incoming mail is distributed to the appropriate exchange server by e-mail aliases for every address, pointing to the appropriate server for that address. The new piece is an Exchange 2000 server that eventually every mailbox will be migrated to. The AD is in mixed mode. Now here is the setup: Those sneaky Unix guys here have set up some of their own DL's on the Sendmail server. The e-mail addresses of the Sendmail DL's are in the same DNS domain(specifically: 'phcs.com') as the Exchange servers. So we come to the problem...we have moved a few users over to the new Exchange 2k server. When these users were on any of the 5.5 servers, they could send e-mail to one of the Sendmail DL's (eg.: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'). With their mailbox on the Exchange 2k server, sending to the sendmail DL's fails with an Unkown Recipient NDR back from the Exchange Server. It doesn't seem like a mystery to me why the Exchange 2k server won't send out of the site for an address that it treats as internal. But what I can't figure out is why the 5.5 servers will forward a message to the Sendmail server for an SMTP mail address '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' when the IMS is configured to route all 'phcs.com' to inbound. The Senior guys that should know better than I have no clue either. I haven't been here long enough to know if the Exchange servers were somehow hacked to get this behavior. I already have a couple solutions to the problem, but what I'm really wondering is if this is proper behavior for Exchange 5.5 vs. 2000?

RE: Help me, please?
Title: RE: HELP! - Running Outlook and Outlook Express on the same machine Well, it just happened. None of the other admins own up to changing anything. We do have a lot of other changes though, DNS changes, new W2k DNS servers coming on line yesterday... Otherwise we just started getting calls that outbound mail was returning the relaying denied messages. telnetting from the offending exchange server to the sendmail relay, and attempting to get a message out gives the same realy denied error. Doing the same from the working Exchange server is successful. Oh well, it's looking like this is more of a DNS or Sendmail issue, but thanks for the thoughts guys.
