Strange messages in IMS Queue
Dear group, Curious to know if anyone has seen this before. NT 4.0 SP 6 Exchange 5.5 SP 3 When looking at the Internet Mail Service queue I have found there are quite a few messages being held with the originator name of. It appears that the system does not know who the messages are from. This has been making me nervous. Does anyone have any clue to why this is happening and how to stop the messages from coming in? Any help would be awesome.

Change in IMS antirelaying settings betweem SP3 SP4?!
OK, I have a weird one on my hands; and the docs seem to lead me in circles. [Yeah, yeah... it's like putting me in a round room and telling me to piss in the corner...] Anyway, I rolled out a small Exch5.5/SP4 server on top of a self-contained NT4 PDC with DNS service for a 5 user office, for both collaboration and Internet email. When I followed the relevant MSKB articles to check Reroute incoming SMTP mail (which they need for about a half -dozen .COM domains). On the Routing Restrictions property sheet, though, is where the changes from SP3 to SP4 seem to have occured: In SP3 I would check Hosts and clients with these IP addresses and leave the address box EMPTY. This would provide the two benefits I want: 1) Any external host that wants to *route* SMTP traffic to a GAL recipient can do so; 2) Allowing authenticated users SMTP relaying (POP before SMTP emulation) regardless of originating IP address. If I check the Hosts and clients that successfully authenticate box then it rejects SMTP routing. I need the POP3 SMTP access for Mac clients, because of the LAN configuration Outlook for Exchange does not work at all. What did I miss in the SP3 to SP4 anti-relaying settings changes? Cheers!

RE: connection values for IMS
Just wish to add-on to this to check with the experts in this list. Is the IMS in Ex5.5 or Virtual SMTP in Ex2k, multi-threaded.? That is if the server is dual CPU, does it means each CPU takes half the connections. I ask the same question on the Unix Sendmail list sometime ago and was told Sendmail is process based. Sendmail can process 30 mails per second which means it can spawn 30 child process to process the load. How abt Exchange?

IMS config backup utility?
Hello All, Exch 5.5/SP4 etc Application: To ensure duplicate setting on backup IMS, rather than manually configuring settings.

Has anyone used/seen this utility? Essentially, it sounds like you can export the configuration of an IMS for restore at a later date on a different machine.

RE: IMS config backup utility?
It's great if you have lots of IMS connections or complicated routing setups and need to change machines. But most people are not in that position and recreating the settings takes no more time than using this utility. I could see it as a backup/disaster recovery tool as well for some.

RE: IMS config backup utility?
It looks like it does a lot more than that. A good documentation on your IMC structure could be reproduced in about 5 minutes. A lot faster than you could import all the usernames. Here is one of the bullet points from that article Immediately sets a flag in the information store, which prevents more mail from being routed through the Internet Mail Connector This cant be a good thing since it would seem you just rendered your IS useless.

hi, i have really good questions;i'm not a real proffessional :( I have just an IMS for Exchnage 5.5 installed on a W2K server.Total Mailbox number in our unique site is 3000+.My users send excessively lots of mail out from intranet to the internet.Although our internet output is 1 Mbps,IMS queue is stucking extremely in business hours especially.So,the questions are, What can i do to improve the performance of IMS? Can i use more than one IMS in the EXC. 5.5 organization for aiming load balance?..If yes,how can i implement more than one IMS,for example may i use 3 IMS just for outbound at the same time on 3 EXC.5.5 servers?..

Yes, you can do everything you describe. If you have 3 IMSs you can set them up with the same address space (SMTP:*) and they will all take outbound mail. You could also set 2 up for outbound mail and one for inbound mail (or any other combination). Kevin (not a professional either) -Original Message- From: AHMET KAYA(EBI Bsk.- Uygulama Prog.)

RE: how IMS performance implemented?..
You probably need a faster connection to the Internet. For 3000+ mailboxes sending excessively amounts of mail, 1 Mbps is not enough. If there is web traffic for those 3000 users in addition to the E-mail, then your Internet connection is badly overloaded. By default the IMS permits multiple inbound and outbound connections, and you can increase or reduce those numbers with just the one IMS. Additional IMS connectors are not likely to help. The IMS does allow you to limit the maximum message size, which may help. Your users should be told that their large attachments are no longer permitted due to the overload problem.

EventID4086 with Exchange 5.5 IMS
Hi, On rebooting our Exchange 5.5 (SP4) server, the Exchange IMS refuses to start. All other Exchange services start fine. The only error in any of the event logs is one with the EventID4086 - Unable to start the service because the configuration could not be loaded from the Microsoft Exchange directory or Windows NT Registry. The MSDN library and MS KB site suggest that the SiteDN value in the registry may be incorrect. However this is not the case. There is not alot of other suggestions from these sources. I've tried adding the Exchange service account to the Domain Admin group, but again no luck. Would be grateful if anyone could help shed any light or make any suggestions. Thanks Roger List Charter and FAQ at: http://www.sunbelt-software.com/exchange_list_charter.htm
Spam connections to IMS
Title: Message I am running exchange 5.5 with the current service pack on NT4 server SP6a. I have my server configured to stop relaying.

IMS domain blocking.

RE: IMS domain blocking.
They are actually held in the HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\MSExchangeIMC\Parameters\TurfTabl e registry entry. I think it's binary data, though. Now, (standard disclaimer here!) I've never tried this, but you could try exporting this reg entry to another server.

IMS and Information Store Terminating
Title: IMS and Information Store Terminating Hello everyone, We're having an issue here with our Exchange 5.5 SP4 server, running on W2k server SP2. Within the last 4-5 days, the IMS and Info Store have been terminating themselves. Nothing useful is logged in Event Viewer (surprise, huh?), but our Internet bandwidth has risen dramatically, and viewing our usage reports, is very high (90+ percent) at the times this has occurred. I'm taking a stab that Exchange is getting jammed up and is not able to release mail. Has anyone witnessed this or have any information to share? Thanks in advance!

HELP! My IMS is down and I am out of ideas.
Hi Everyone, I restarted my Exchange Server running 5.5 after I had uninstalled MS Outlook on it to move Outlook to another partition, and now my IMS is not coming back up. I am getting an error Event ID 4116, and 4018. 4018 states: Unable to start the Internet Mail Service because MAPI could not be initialized. I have looked through the Knowledge base, and have checked all of the areas that they suggest, but I am still not able to start the service. I am here all night until I can get this up so I would appreciate any help.

Multiple IMS in Exchange 5.5
Exchange 5.5 SP3+ on NT4. Right now, Exchange points to a Linux box running sendmail as our method of sending / receiving Internet mail. The networking guys want to add a second Linux box (with it's own MX record) and a higher cost so that if the first box goes down mail would automatically flow to the second box. I'm not sure how to do this on the Exchange side. If I add a second IMS connector in Exchange how do I control which one is actively used? The goal is to have this roll over automatically. mit freundlichen Grüßen,(Best Regards), Steve Ropiak ZF Group NAO CERT, Exchange Administrator (207) 989-9115 voice (207) 989-8722 fax (513) 317-0197 cell [EMAIL PROTECTED] List Charter and FAQ at: http://www.sunbelt-software.com/exchange_list_charter.htm
RE: Multiple IMS in Exchange 5.5
The problem you will find here is that because the IMS is actually an EDK gateway, the MTA will not re-route messages to a different IMS. Basically, once the MTA has deposited the messages in the queue for the IMS, that's where they stay. But a redundant IMS for inbound works great. :o) -Original Message- From: Neil Hobson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, February 20, 2002 5:53 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Multiple IMS in Exchange 5.5 The problem you will find here is that because the IMS is actually an EDK gateway, the MTA will not re-route messages to a different IMS. Basically, once the MTA has deposited the messages in the queue for the IMS, that's where they stay. What you could consider is putting both IP addresses of your two Linux boxes into the one IMS. On the connections tab, specificy both IP addresses with a comma, e.g. 10.1.1.1,10.1.1.2 etc. This produces a reasonable load balancing act between the two Linux boxes. Obviously, inbound messages will be load balanced if your MX records are set to the same preference.

IMS Outbound Queue
I am running Exchange 5.5 SP4 with Trend Micro Scan. I frequently have messages stack up in my IMS outbound queue. It seems like it is only specific domains that I have trouble with, but when they send me something inbound it delivers like a snap. When I go to the queue and check the message, it say's that there was a network error and couldn't resolve the domain name. I then click retry and then 90% of the time it will send it. I use my ISP's DNS servers. I am baffled. Any idea's what it could be? List Charter and FAQ at: http://www.sunbelt-software.com/exchange_list_charter.htm

Anyway enough sucking up for now:- SBS 4.5 Sp6, Exchange 5.5 sp4 Suits ok'ed a AV service called"Message Labs" to start scanning our in outbound email, starting this weekend. Ineed to change our DNS MX records to point our email domain to Messages Labs servers instead of to my Exchange server directly. no prob In IMS I need to change "message delivery" in the IMS properties page to "forwardall messages to host XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX" so all outgoing mail goes to their scanner boxagain no prob I also need to setup "Accept Connections from - ", right now it's set at 'all servers, secure or unsecure", want toonly accept connections for that Message labs scanner box by IP, but if you select "Only from hosts using - :" you MUST either use authenication, encryption, or both? This IS a problem! So my questions are: Do I setup another NT or Exchange account for Message Labs server and give then the username and password for this Authentication or? If so, then if I list under "Specify Hosts:" Message Labs severs IP, will all other hosts be "rejected" by deault? how can you reject all but specific IP's Can't you just add deny 0.0.0.0 to reject all other hosts or?

I don't think the global reject is going to work, but it can't hurt to try.

RE: IMS hung up again...
Not sure exactly what you mean by how the server is connected, but let me see what I can do... The server is connected directly to our network, soon to be put in the DMZ, only has one nic, with current drivers. Not sure what else might be helpful. I noticed that mail stopped flowing on Monday morning, but the queue hung on Sunday evening sometime after 5:30 as that was the last message I got. I have not been able to find anything out of the ordinary in the app log, no errors or warning relating to Exchange. I would be happy to show you a screenshot, but I really don't see anything that looks strange.

Limiting IMS usage
Title: Limiting IMS usage I've setup my IMS to reject messages from a distribution list. In that distribution list I've added a test user. When I attempt to send an SMTP message from that test mailbox, I get the following NDR: Either the message size exceeds the maximum allowed for the recipient or transport, or you have exceeded the storage limit on your mailbox. Is there any way to customize this message? I'd like it to say something like You do not have access to send and/or receive Internet email. Sucks to be you. Or something like that. :-) Thanks in advance!

IMS is crashing due to *.vir files
Hi all. I am stumped by a virus related problem. The IMS on my exhange server is crashing due to the appearance of files with names such as JV8TX3YL.vir in the folder \imcdata\in. My virus scanner is identifing them as W32/SirCam@MM but is unable to clean or delete them. My server however is not infected with the SirCam virus. I am running Exchange5.5 SP4 on NT4 SP6a and Network Associates Groupshield. Has anyone else experienced this one or know of a solution? Thanks, Carl.

RE: IMS is crashing due to *.vir files
The IMC and GroupShield are trying to deal with the file at the same time - there is a hotfix IF you have a grant number and are willing to WAIT on hold, you can get it from NAI.

RE: IMS is crashing due to *.vir files
Thanks Steve - now I just have to find that licencing documentation. Two weeks in a new job and I haven't even come across the disks yet! As an alternative measure do you know of any way to identify the offending message and strip it out? or would temporarily stopping the GroupShield service allow the message through to a mailbox where it could then be dealt with?
