We have Exchange Server 2K3 running on a Windows Server 2K3 and use the Outlook 2K3 Client. Recently we are having significant slowness upon opening the client first thing in the morning after logging into the network. Later in the day, if opening the client after closing the client, the client loads very fast, within a few seconds. We'd surely like to determine the cause of the slowness or at least a fix. Since we have staggered start times here, it's not like everyone is opening the client at the very same time. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Murray
re: RIM SUPPORT
Hockey teams are expensive to buy. From: Jeff Brown 2jbr...@gmail.com Sent: Thursday, June 25, 2009 10:07 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues exchangelist@lyris.sunbelt-software.com Subject: RIM SUPPORT Any one else pissed about how RIM changed their support offerings? I am a relatively small shop, with just over 200 phones and one BES server. I can't imagine how they justify charging my support based on the number of phones, because that affects them almost NOT AT ALL, as what they really do is support my ONE server. I have been running this for about 4 years and have asked for help maybe 3 times. Last year my 12 month support contract was $4,600, this year they want more like $6,200, even though my number of phones has dropped from 265 to 205. The drop in number of phones is indicative of our company economy. It is a BAD time, really bad for them to limit my options to a new level of support with lots of great value that I cannot afford. Here's the cherry: NO ONE with more than 50 handsets will be supported on a per incident basis according to my sales rep. They really want to know how I am going to respond when I feel like someone has put a gun against my head ~ Ninja Email Security with Cloudmark Spam Engine Gets Image Spam ~ ~ http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Ninja~

RE: Incoming spoofed e-mail issue
There are DNSBLs that map source IP to country code (ie http://countries.nerd.dk/). I used to use tqmcube.com a couple of years ago, but they have changed their offerings (and domain name). They weren't really a block list, but a cross-reference list. tqmcube, like nerd.dk I mentioned above, used to use return codes specific to ISO country code. So, you get an email from source IP which is checked against an IP-to-country code list. The country code is assigned a return code 127.0.0.xx (10-254) and your server can act based on the return code. I may start working on hosting something like that in April.

RE: Email Archival 101: a General View
It was great. I appreciate you sharing it. From: Bingham, Kevin [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, November 20, 2008 12:01 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues exchangelist@lyris.sunbelt-software.com Subject: RE: Email Archival 101: a General View Well, as I said, some of it is hacked together rather hastily, while I still have this account, so I expect some minor discrepancies. Therefore, a few notes in response: Event sinks ~= transport/routing agents, for this purpose. I used the Sinks terminology because more people are still familiar with it, and when we did are review of products in 2005/2006, there were no archiving vendors that had E2K7 Routing Agents. Go figure. need manageable . content . isn't accessed very often. Precisely; that's one set of questions involved in the Content Management category. When you start doing these sorts of things and don't involve legal personnel (if you have any), it will probably come back to you for reworking, eventually. Involve potential stakeholders at the start when possible. If said stakeholders don't exist. no involvement. Even if they exist, but you don't think they have any involvement/needs in your current project to offload old data from the Exchange server, you should strongly consider touching base with them when doing this sort of work. the designs are certainly easier to do the first time than to try to retro-fit when whole new categories of requirements popup next year. I agree with the list of features to look for, in a general sense. I am much more prone to encourage a company to figure out what their needs are, though, rather than assume the same laundry list applies to everyone. Granted, knowing what is on the possible laundry list is helpful in understanding what our own list might look like. From: William Lefkovics [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, November 20, 2008 12:02 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Email Archival 101: a General View Lots of good information in there. I certainly don't agree with everything. Event sinks? In Exchange 2007, you would write an archiving transport/routing agent. Small companies often need archiving but do not have a legal department or binding regulatory needs. They need a manageable Exchange server so they are not backing up content daily that isn't accessed very often. That's the primary reason I hear for archiving. From an Information Week article by Andrew Conry-Murray in June 2008: What to look for in an E-mail archiving solution: 1) Compression 2) Full Content Index 3) Keyword Search 4) Litigation hold (prevent deletion) 5) Metadata Index 6) Retention Deletion Policy enforcement 7) Single Instancing[WSLIII1] Other preferred features: 1) Additional Search 2) API/Connector to other systems, especially legal apps 3) Discovery 4) SharePoint integration 5) Support for extensive list of attachment types Probably the most valuable thing you said for me, is the last paragraph. Test your potential solution. MAPI-based and Journaling (ew!) archivers should be able to be tested without affecting real live data. From: Bingham, Kevin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, November 20, 2008 7:59 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Email Archival 101: a General View I promised a while back to do a generic write-up on selecting an Email Archival Solution; figured I better finish this set of scribbles before I shuffle off from the company next week. If anyone wants to throw some of this up on a blog somewhere, feel free. Since I'm finishing this up in a rush, there are undoubtedly considerations I've forgotten to include here, and I only strove to include considerations that would be prevalent to the majority of companies, but this should be a good start for any company considering archival. This is written from the perspective of an Exchange Administrator; Exchange as your core email solution is assumed, but most of the generalities within could apply to any email solution. This information is not definitive nor unbiased; it only represents the empirical findings of a couple of administrators. Email Archival has been a hot point in the industry for some time now, with no real consensus on best-practices or best-in-breed products. Different parts of industry drive this division in views by having different requirements. In general, it's a system of pulling email out of its native storage system and placing it somewhere else; the specifics end there, though. So, when considering Email Archival, the first thing you need to do is define what it means to your company. Why do you want to do archiving? From there, you should be able to work into the second big question: What features do you need this tool suite to have? There are four primary reasons to want to do archiving: mailbox size
