How to properly route Internet bound email?

Posted: 18 May 2005 02:27 PM PDT

Jim,
Thanks for the reply. I actually have two Front End servers. One is
strictly for OWA and the other one is for POP3 users to connect to and for
SMTP email direct delivery. Let me explain.

My setup is as follows

My company has two MX records pointing to our SPAM SMTP gateways smtp1 and
smtp2.

We have 2 Front End servers

We have 3 Back End servers

I want all email coming from the Internet to be received by smtp1 and smtp2
where it is checked for SPAM. The email is then forwarded to my Front End
server GW1 which then delivers it to the proper Back End server.


For all outbound Internet SMTP email, I want the Back End servers to forward
email to either smtp1 or smtp2. We have a basic set of outbound rules that
we check for plus it give us a "choke point" to siphon off a copy of the
email for archive.


I do not follow your recommendation of :

"I would create an SMTP Connector on the front-end server; use the SMTP
virtual servers on the front-end as the bridgehead. Then configure JUST
THAT CONNECTOR, not the SMTP virtual server, to use the smart hosts. "

Could you elaborate further at it sound like it will work for me?



Thanks,
Fred

We have 58 GB free on our D drive (database drive) and 16 GB free on our C
drive (system drive).

C: is raid1 2x36GB and D: is raid5 3x36GB.
Shadow Copies is disabled on both drives. Running Windows 2003 Standard (no
SP -- Cisco VOIP constraints) but Exchange 2003 has SP1 installed.

Thanks for help!!

Get hold of the CER file for the root. You might even find it on the
root of the C drive on the sert server itself!

Then put it on the client PC and open it, select install and follow
the wizard through to make sure it installs into the Trusted Root Cert
Authorities area.

It really is a simple process.

Yup ntbackup should sort you out as a one off, but the 3rd party
backup should be doing it's job properly. It wasn't cheap and needs
checking.

Over 16 GB limit question. Help.

Outbound email won't deliver

We are just using IP, not IMAP. By relaying off us, I mean that we setup our
clients Exchange server to use our gateway as a smarthost.

We are using Veritas Backup Exec v9.1 with the Exchange server agent. I
checked again - we are using the option "FULL backups - Database and
Logs(flush committed logs), set to "purge committed transaction logs when the
backup completes" and still nothing get deleted or flushed. What is the
keyword 'committed' logs imply?
Thanks for your time.

I have now resolved the problem.

Re-applied the Exchange service pack and all is now well.

Thanks for you help.

Good analysis, Ed, and a good procedure for others to follow in analyzing their own scenarios.

Regarding cached mode having problems at 700MB, do you have any similar empirical evidence? I've dicussed this with Microsoft, and they said that they've backed off their initial warnings that cached mode .ost files greater than 1GB could be a problem.
