log files

Posted: 06 Dec 2004 06:47 AM PST

We had a large number of logs files being created. I think it might be a
program one of our developers wrote that is creating all the log files. So I
wanted to know how many e-mails did it take to generate a new 5k log file and
if I could see what the e-mails were. Then I would now for sure that it was
the application or it could be a virus on a users machine.

Exchange 2003 and Mailbox Locations

Posted: 03 Dec 2004 09:59 AM PST

I'm not sure, but try this:

In Outlook, go to Tools > Options. Click the Mail Setup tab. Click the Data
Files button. Select the profile and click Settings. I haven't tried it, but
it looks like this will allow you to change where the pst is stored.

Been looking at this and this seems pretty complicated. Could you guide me
in the proper direction. What website should I be reading.

I checked out the following:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/e2k3/e2k3/_exch2k_exchange_calls_event_methods.asp
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/e2k3/e2k3/_exch2k_the_script_host_sink.asp

Cant really see somethign that will foward outgoing mail to another address.

Problem with connecting by telnet to port 25

Posted: 03 Dec 2004 05:30 AM PST

It is only on this machine which is the Exchange server, the other
pc's in the net can connect to port 25 on external pc's and to port
25 on the Exchange server it is only the exchange server which has a
problem.

ADC on Server 2003 between Exchange 5.5!!!!

Posted: 02 Dec 2004 04:17 AM PST

If you are eventually going to be migrating to Exchange 2003, then
definitely use the ADC from that CD - better yet, use the ADC from Exchange
2003 SP1.

Even better, run the deployment tools from the Exchange 2003 CD. It will
completely guide you through preparing for migration (even if it will be a
while). Just run the CD and launch the deployment tools
(\support\exdeploy\exdeploy.hta). You will still want to install the ADC
from Exchange 2003 SP1, but the deployment tools are great help. Follow
each step, as there are quite a few utilities that can help you identify
where the problem might be.

As far as permissions, Permissions Admin is different from Admin. I'd make
sure that you change it to Permissions Admin.

Don't put a public webserver on your LAN - if you need it, get another
webserver and put it in your DMZ. If you don't really need another Exchange
box, which it sounds like you don't, use this server for that purpose - or
don't even use IIS for it at all. Just don't stick it inside your LAN.
 
 

You can do this, yes. 
 

No, but again, since you already have Exchange on SBS, I don't see why you
don't start with that version/installation. 
 

Yes, but mailbox quotas are also important - you have a 16GB limit per store
with SBS (and Exchange standard in general). 

Hope this helps.

I have this sinking feeling that reinstall is going to be the only way out.
Many thanks anyway.

Exchange DoS vulnerability due to possible named properties overflow

Posted: 29 Nov 2004 11:44 AM PST

Thanks Andy,

Either they are, or these named properties originate not from the X-headers
(though this was also an opinion of MS support engineer).

Every minute or less I am getting error events in Exchange Application log
with Event ID 9667 and 12800, with the following contents:

Failed to create a new named property for database "First Storage
Group\Mailbox Store (ServerName)" because the number of named properties
reached the quota limit (16384).
User attempting to create the named property: "BESAdmin"
Named property GUID: 00020386-0000-0000-c000-000000000046
Named property name/id: "babiche-asweat"

So my Application Log is all flooded with these errors.

Names of the named properties vary, but for the most part they are
combinations of two random words, for example:

abdominothoracic-birthplace
absolute-anteconsonantal
abundancy-canorously
accelerando-armilla
accretal-bedark
acidosteophyte-adipopexia
acronically-bronchotome
adjunction-Argean
adjunctively-bullfighting
adularescence-aval
adverseness-akepiro
aeronef-betoil
aeruginous-alalus
afghanistan-bacterial
afterwards-bicornuate

(I just took some of them to illustrate).

If this is not a DoS condition, then what is it? And how to get rid of these
named properties?

Regards,
Boris

P.S. I know about several other cases, where failed attempts to create named
properties were originated from the System account, so this is not a
Blackberry (BES) specific problem...

Send as

Posted: 29 Nov 2004 08:37 AM PST

This doesn't appear to be a send as error, but a recipient security error.
Either the receiving end has Joe User blocked or he/she blocks everyone and
only allows a select few to send mail. See if Sue can send as herself or have
the admin try. If all else fails, contact the distant end by phone and ask
about their recipient policies.

It really doesn't usually matter whether the FQDN returned in a reverse
lookup matches the server's FQDN unless the recipient's admin needs to eat
more fiber.

And their IP doesn't seem to be blacklisted:
http://www.dnsstuff.com/tools/ip4r.ch?ip=208.178.231.226+

I'd contact the recipient's admin folks. Don't ask about the fiber.

exchange 2003 - sending 1000's of emails

Posted: 26 Nov 2004 03:11 PM PST

Mike Thanks for this little document - we have gone through it with a fine
tooth combe and everything set up OK!

When we try and pruge the exchange server - nothing ends up in the false
smtp connector!!!!!

however when we revert back to the normal SBS smtp connector and try doing a
forced pop3 collect using the pop3 connector or stop / restart the services.
The emails start flooding back in to the smtp connector again.

we get nothing in the basemail directory but in the queues directory we get
copies of the outgoing e-mail!!!! if we stop the services we can delete these!

It may take upto 45 minutes to before the emails start coming back.
