Corrupted SMTP address
Exchange 2003 with SP2. 8 sights, mixed mode. Strange thing happened today, all users at a one site were unable to send or recive email. Noone can send them email too. NDR. Upon invistigation I found that their SMTP email address in ADUC geneal tab has changed to {Intenet email address} instead of the ususal useranme@xyzcompany.com. The email addresses in the Email adress tab are intact. The only change that was made, and I am not sure if anyone tried to import anything into AD, is with the default receipent policy, the previous day. Did I mention each site has their own policy that was...

Rules for different smtp addresses for 1 user.
In exchange my user account is set-up with 2 smtp addresses. 1) Erik@mycompany.com and 2) jreed@mycompany.com (this is the primary SMTP address) so any email sent to those 2 addresses comes to my inbox. I tried to create a rule in outlook XP to place the email to erik@mycompany.com into a seperate folder. Turns out that this can not be done! OUCH! it appears all incoming mail is translated to the local account name and the smtp address is not referenced at all???? I do not want to have to create a seperate user and maintain 2 different mailboxes. I have to be missing how to do thi...

SMTP Addresses
I have a user that did a little 'experimenting' on her own about an issue she was having. If someone sent her a message using upper case letters in her address: Uppercase@whatever.domain the mail would take a lot longer before it finally showed up in her mailbox. If, however, they sent it to her using her correct address - all lowercase: lowercase@whatever.domain it would be delivered immediately. What is the magic button to take away the case sensitivity oh the SMTP addresses? Thanks for any reply - LOL! Maybe you ought to verify these resu...

setting exchange2003 to use external smtp for mail delivery
I would like to forward all mail to an smtp server belonging to my isp for delivery rather than trying to deliver the mail directly from exchange - Could anyone help with some advice on how to do this? Thanks Martin You didn't specify if you are using a connector or not, but in essence you want to specify a smart host. Since I'm looking at a single server setup w/out a connector, the place to specify is on the SMTP virtual server's delivery tab > advanced button.

Exchange Server 5.5 SMTP log #2
I am running Exchange server 5.5 on a LAN. How can I track email by user. I would like to see what email a user receives and sends on a daily basis (don't want to read the mail, but the header and stuff like that). Can I do this with Exchange (so yes how) or is their a 3rd party software package I can purchase? Message Tracking logs will give you sender, recipient, size and date of the message. Message Journaling will give you message contents. "Michael J." wrote: > I am running Exchange server 5.5 on a LAN. How can I track > email by user. I would like to see what...

Restricted characters for SQL databases???
We are installing the CRM server and are at the summary form. The SQL databases indicate that they are named "_companyname_inc..." The problem is that our company name is actually "3_companyname_inc...". Will this pose a problem for CRM. We don't want to go further until we can get reasoning why this is so. Thanks in advance Dave Dave, SQL databases must start with a letter or _, and may contain only numbers, letters, and _. All other characters are stripped from it. My suggestion is to call MS support, and ask to have the number spelled out (Three_companyname_i...

SMTP TL SSL
Hi, I'm runing exchange front-end server (last sp applied and update of OS right) in a perimeter network. OWA is still runing fine with SSL and a private Certificate. I setup IMAP/SMTP access to our outlook express mobile user's clients connecting from internet. IMAP is runing fine to retrieve mail, I still have a problem with SMTP. I had create a SMTP virtual server (with the same name as the name of the certificate I use on to the IIS server) on port 2525. In the user control access settings I just uncheck anonymous and check basic authentication with TLS checked. The certifica...

SMTP Logs #3
I have never had a chance to see SMTP Logs for troubleshooting ... Are they very helpful? If yes, what am I suppose to look in there and when should I go to check the logs? Thank you in advance. smtp logs - depending on what you're loggin - can be quite helpful. they tell you what transpired between 2 smtp hosts. when you set diagnostic level of smtp log to max it can log entire message content. you want to look for 4xx and 5xx codes - the 400s being temporary issues, and the 500s may require some admin intervention. How frequently? depends on your environment - size of logs ...

Exchange 2003 smtp connector
I have a customer that has been running SBS 2003. To send email, I had to set up an SMTP connector since their ISP would not let them send email unless it went through their servers. This worked great until this morning when the server died. As a temporary solution, I took an old server from one of their other offices that was running Windows 2003 and Exchange 2003 and set it up in the office. I reset the connector but it will not work. I just need to get this temporary solution up until new hard drives come in. I added security but that did not help. I tried a smart host in the SMTP c...

sp2 SMTP Engine update
In SP 2 for Exchange inludes a change to the SMTP engine that prevents it from attempting to resolve the sender address to a display name on messages that are submitted anonymously. In my testing i have found that this is not the case. I telneted from an off site machine to port 25 on my Exchange 2003 sp2 server and sent a message as a user on the internal network that does have a mailbox on Exchange, and sent the email to another user on exchange, and the email was recived and it did show the display name not the email address. I tested this out with another Exchange sp2 server that...

Exchange 2003: SMTP service takes all bandwidth!
I encountered a problem with an Exchange 2003 server (running on Windows Server 2003.) Last week, Exchange started shutting down and the Internet connection (DSL) had unusually high traffic. I quickly traced this problem to the NetSky.B worm. Downloaded the virus update and cleaning tool, disconnected from the Internet, and cleaned all machines on the network. However, as soon as I restarted the SMTP service, the DSL connection became totally bogged down again, so busy it wasn't allowing any traffic. This even happens when I disable outbound mail in Exchange, and even after I emptied all t...

Exchange 2003 can't connect to SMTP on internal IP address
We have Exchange 2003 server no service packs. This has 2 IP addresses used for SMTP. We were looking to lockdown our Exchange server to only allow mail from our email provider. After setting this up we thought it would be better to do this at the firewall level, so we undid the changes we made. The changes were as follows: Created a global accept list Created a global deny list Created connection filter to an SMTP virtual server No reboot took place during this. When undoing the change we removed the IP list before the virtual SMTP server. This may have caused the problems out...

E2k3 OWA
Users have begun reporting a problem - from OWA they cannot reveal the smtp address of messages they receive from other Exchange users that have their accounts hidden from the GAL. They are able to reply to the messages, but if you try to switch to a cc or bcc it fails. From other clients (Outlook, POP, IMAP) it works fine - they can see the SMTP address. Is there a solution to this, it's quite annoying? I suspect this has happened after the latest patches, but can't be certain. -GT I suspect this is happening because of the way OWA queries the GAL (other clients use LDA...
