Hi all, Exchange 5.5 SP4, Windows NT 4.0 SP 6, NT Backup I have recently run 2 test restores of my exchange server and the restore of the Information Store has been extremely slow, only .5 Gig per hour. (The store is 11 Gig.) In the past, I've been able to restore in 2.5 hours. Just wondering

Nope. Exchange CAL for 2000 lets you use Outlook 2002 (XP). You must purchase an Exchange 2003 CAL in order to use Outlook 2003. (You can still purchase Outlook or Office 2003 separately and use that with an Exchange 2000 CAL to connect to an Exchange 2000 server). -Original Message-

IMHO, running URLSCAN on an E2K OWA server is a losing proposition. You have to open so much up that URLSCAN basically isn't doing anything. I just talked to a MS guy (he did PSS support for IIS) at a security class. He seemed pretty adamant that there was a way to use URLSCAN with 100%

POP3 clients external mail delayed

Something strange is happening with POP3 clients on our Exchange 5.5 SP4 server. When they send mail to other mailboxes on the exchange server, no problem, the mail arrives immediately. When they send to external recipients the mail takes ages to be delivered, e.g. we sent a test message on

Look at the headers of the messages that were received by the external recipients (have them send you the headers) and see where those messages were sitting. Also look at the tracking logs. Also look at the SMTP logs. Are your POP3 clients configured to use your Exchange server as an SMTP

You can use Telnet on port 25, connect to your Exchange server and send a message. Or you could use Blat - a great command line utility for sending mail. You also should be able to drop a preformatted text file into the Pickup directory. The file format should be like this FROM:[EMAIL

The only way to do this without any external scripts or programs is to share out the pickup directory on your Exchange server, create a specially formatted file (with RFC822 To:, From:, Subject:, etc headers) and drop it in the shared directory. This wont get you MIME attachments, though. If you
