SMTP restrictions #2
A few questions: If I configure the "Limit Message Size(KB)" does this pertain to the attachments as well? Also, does it affect both inbound and outbound? If the "Limit Message Size" is exceeded by the attachment does the attachment get stripped and the message (body) go through? If nothing goes through, does the sender recieve an error? Sorry so many questions. Thanks! Message size is the sum of the headers, body and the attachment. There is no setting specifically for the attachment size. When there is a violation, the entire message is bounced back to the send...

System Attendant not starting-Exchange 2003
Just build a new Exchange 2003 SP1/Windows 2003 SP1 server and getting a 5719 (no logon servers)..and this is resulting in a 2104 (inetinfo.exe-DSAccess). I can start the SA/MTA/Info. Stores manually (netlogon service does start), but not sure why this is happening on a freshly loaded server. Any ideas as I think it may be the 3com Gigabit card or something else. Thanks for any information! :) It's having trouble contacting a domain controller, it appears. That could be due to something as simple as a misconfigured NIC or incorrectly configured DNS client settings, or just about a...

Outlook 2003 going offline
I have a customer that I recently installed Exchange 2003 with Outlook 2003 on their PC's. I am getting tech support calls from users saying they are not getting their email. So far 6 times in the last 2 weeks the issue has been that their Outlook is working in the offline mode. We can reset it to online and everything is fine. I have not rebooted the server in 2 months. Any suggestions as to what is happening? Can I disable the offline mode completely? They are all desktop PC's.

Exchange 2003 on a DC?
Whats the best practice for this in a small (4 servers) network? Best practice is always to install Exchange on a member server. I recognize that this is not always possible. Keep in mind that if you install Exchange 2003 on a domain controller, you can't run dcpromo on it afterward and make it a member server; it'll always have to be a domain controller. At least until there's a design change to the product. -- Ed Crowley MVP - Exchange "Protecting the world from PSTs and brick backups!" "Zart the Artist" <ZarttheArtist@discussions.microsoft.com>...

OUTLOOK 2003 with or without exchange server
I recently have begun upgrading a small office from Outlook 97 with Exchange Server 5.5 to Outlook 2003. I have some questions about this. In this office everyone needs to be able to access everyone elses calendars (6 in all) . With outlook 97, you were unable to do so without using exchange server. Now, with Outlook 2003, will they be able to access each others calendar without using any exchange server? If they need exchange server, will they be able to remain with exchange server 5.5 or will they need to upgrade to Exchange Server 2003? Any help would be greatly appreciated. &g...

Exchange 2003 SMTP lockdown #2
How do I secure smtp to only let authenticated users send e-mails for internal users and users that connect using pop3. Thanks Amador I am also having this problem. I must have not configured something somewhere. But to explain further....... If i use my home pc to connect to our mail server and send a mail from say fred@company.com to Paul@company.com it will get sent. This means that if someone gets hold of a few of our company addresses, they can send mails to them. Our server needs auth if you are sending from fred@company.com to paul@hotmail.com so thats ok.

Pst-files in Outlook 2003?
Hi, Im having problems moving some of my pst-files from the default location (in profile) to an alternative network folder. I can move the default Outlook.pst without any problems.

IIS SMTP or Exchange SMTP?
I have a situation where I need to insert a smarhost into outbound mailflow in one city. I am looking into linux boxen as well as windows flavors. The one thing this smarthost must do besides receive internal mail and route it out, is stamp a disclaimer on it. I see from http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=317680 that this can be done with VBScript, but the question is, will it work with IIS SMTP alone, or does it require Exchange SMTP to work?

Can one Exchange 2003 (SBS2003) host email for two separate domains
Is it possible for one Exchange server running in SBS2003 to host email for two separate domains? If yes, how would that be setup? Thanks in advance. TTFN JMMach > Is it possible for one Exchange server running in SBS2003 to host email > for two separate domains If yes, how would that be setup? Yes. The base requirement is just to set up recipient policies for each domain you want to receive email for. If you need to segregate the users from each other it gets a little more complex, setting up seperate OUs and address lists for each domain, etc. See this link: http://www...
