FQDN on EHLO for External

$
0
0

If I telnet to my exchange 2013 server and do an EHLO it returns the local server name and not the external FQDN.

Mxtoolbox.com flags this as a problem as it doesn't match my reverse DNS which is to the external FQDN.

How do I change it to return my external FQDN ?

thanks

Hi,

we have more then 50 Exchange Server 2013 deployed and every single Exchange has transport issues.

-the transport Service do not respond for 30 min or more.

-RAM consumption

-the e-mail are stock in outlook for long time

-we have Exchaneg 2013 with all CUs / SP1 version installed and i cannot see any improvement.

I m disappointed and i hope that someone can help me to understand the Exchange 2013 Mailflow

Message tracking

$
0
0

I have had several instances since I installed exchange 2013 about messages not being received. In 2007 they had the message tracking GUI that I could follow a message flow from my Barracuda to the inbox of my user. Now I think I need to use

get-messagetrackinglog -Sender <addess> -MessageSubject “whateveritis” -Start “6/07/2014” -End “10/03/2014”

This command brings me back: "Event ID - Source - Sender - Recipient - MessageSubject"

I'm looking for the time sent and received  or just received - I can't seem to put together a cmdlet that will accomplish this with the time. TimeStamp or -timestamp errors in the shell - how are other people with very little shell experience tracking messages.

Any help would be appreciated

We moved to another location and got a new ip from ISP and our exchange server is not able to send emails to some recipients getting .mail.protection.outlook.com error.

user@domain.com
BN1AFFO11FD036.mail.protection.outlook.com #550 5.7.1 Service unavailable; Client host [72.76.xxx.xx] blocked using Blocklist 1; To request removal from this list please forward this message todelist@messaging.microsoft.com ##

This is the error I am getting and I did email to delist@messaging.microsoft.com and I am wondering when will my IP get unblocked as this is causing a lot of communication issues. I checked my ip for blacklist but its not in any database. Hope I'll be able to find some solution soon on this.


 

Help! Event ID 12014 - Microsoft Exchange 2013 could not find a certificate!?!?!?

$

Hello,

I have this error on all my Exchange 2013 SP1 mailbox servers:

"Microsoft Exchange could not find a certificate that contains the domain name "Chicago CAS FQDN" in the personal store on the local computer (looking at this error on LA MBX01). Therefore, it is unable to support the STARTTLS SMTP verb for the connector "OUTBOUNDTOIRONPORT" with a FQDN parameter of "Chicago CAS FQDN". If the connector's FQDN is not specified, the computer's FQDN is used. Verify the connector configuration and the installed certificates to make sure that there is a certficate with a domain name for that FQDN. If this certificate exists, run Enable-ExchangeCertificate - Services SMTP to make sure that the Microsoft Exchange Transport service has access to the certificate key."

I have 6 Exchange 2013 SP1 servers - all with CU6 (build 995.29).
I have intersite DAG across two sites - LA & Chicago. 

SITES
LA:
LA CAS - Windows 2012 
LA MBX01 - Windows 2012
LA MBX02 - Windows 2012

Chicago:
CH CAS - Windows 2012 R2
CH MBX01 - Windows 2012
CH MBX02 - Windows 2012

1 DAG:
Members - LA MBX01, LA MBX02, CH MBX01, CH MBX02.

The certificate installed on both LA and Chicago CAS is an external certificate from DigiCert. All mail routing goes out via IronPort located in Chicago site. The SEND connector "OUTBOUNDTOIRONPORT" has the Chicago IronPort appliance is smarthost. All of the mailbox servers (DAG members) are added as SOURCE SERVERS in the connector. At some point, I'll be configuring a new SEND connector and enable SCOPED SEND Connectors. We also have another IronPort ready in LA site. 

So, this error is confusing to me because the external certificate from DigiCert has SMTP services tied to it and outbound email is flowing from MBX servers to Chicago IronPort and out. As I understand, mailbox servers do not require external certificates only CAS because all connectivity is proxied through CAS servers. 

What do I need to do to get rid of that error? Thanks!

Sending PDF to SP2013 document library will not work after migrated to Exchange 2013

Hi

The mailbox that forward email to different document library's on a SharePoint 2013 SP1 was migrated to a Exchange 2013 server. After that no PDF are picked up by the library.

The email are seen in the drop folder and they are removed after a few seconds. I can see in the log on the SP-server that the email is processed "successfully".

10/06/2014 08:40:06.98     OWSTIMER.EXE (0x2F80) 0x1A88 SharePoint Foundation  E-Mail  6871 Information    The Incoming E-Mail service has completed a batch.  The elapsed time was 00:00:00.1092014.  The service processed 1 message(s) in total.  The service successfully processed 1 message(s): Message ID: <89e365e6a52847b1a18dbdf0414bb0d9@server.com>     c965bf9c-f34d-809d-4467-0963820d3f80

Timer jobs are running.
I tried sending in different formats but no luck.
It worked perfect when the sending mailbox was on a Exchange 2007 server.

Any ideas?

Search-Mailbox not attaching the infected emails in target folder and deleting the contents in exchange 2010 & 2013 coexistence

Dear All,

I have an issue with deleting circulated spam emails in my environment through search-mailbox
We have Exchange 2010 & 2013  CU5 environment 

I followed the search and destroy document for exchange 2010 
http://windowsitpro.com/exchange-server-2010/search-destroy-email-content-exchange-2010
Added the user to Discovery Management group
Created a new role group as below 
New-RoleGroup "Mailbox Import-Export Management" -Roles "Mailbox Import Export"
Add-RoleGroupMember "Mailbox Import-Export Management" -Member Administrator

I ran the below commands
Search-Mailbox -Identity "sathish@abc.com" -SearchQuery "Subject:'report'" -TargetMailbox "Administrator" -TargetFolder "Filter" -LogOnly -LogLevel Full
The above command gets completed successfully and sends the log report  however im unable to see any attachments

Similarly the deletecontent also gets completed successfully and logs result. But it does not delete the infected emails 

Search-Mailbox -Identity  "sathish@abc.com" -SearchQuery "Subject:'report'" -TargetMailbox "administrator" -TargetFolder "filter" -deletecontent -LogLevel Full

Any idea why it is not fetching the infected emails in zip file and why it is not deleting but it is able to log in the target folder 

Any help much appreciated

Large message notification - for INCOMING

Is there a way to configure Exchange to notify the RECIPIENT if someone  tries to send them a LARGE email

Normally, Sender is notified that their message was too large

often they won't do anything about that.

It would be useful to inform the recipient so they can contact the sender and arrange alternative

SMTP scope connector

Hi All,

Does the below scenario work?

I have the following servers.

1. ServerA (CAS)

2. ServerB(Mailbox with exchange database)

3. ServerC (CAS+Mailbox with out any exchange Database)

I have configured two send connectors. one is in ServerB and the other one is in ServerC.

I have created an open relay receive connector in the ServerC. What i need is the mails open relay to ServerC should use the Send connector in the ServerC itsself.

All other authenticated mails comes in to ServerA should use the Send connector in the ServerB.

Does this work?

Regards,

Vinu

modifying email subject

$

If you modify a subject of an email by prefixing with a set of characters, does this affect the readability of 1) and email that was sent using a digital certificate?  2) an encrypted email?

Will attempting to modify a message in this manner affect the email for the two specific items above? functionally, would they still be readable. Does any email client/server reject mail because they are intelligent enough to know the message was modified when it was digitally signed?

Accepted Domain & Email Policy not replicating to New Mailbox creation

Hello,

I have a home domain that has been deployed for some time now. I want to take my domain host email on Godaddy and move it to my new home exchange 2013 server. However before I can get to the migration from Godaddy I have run into the following issue and I hope someone can give me some guidance.

I have installed Exchange 2013 and configured it to see my personal domain of xxx-yyy.us as an accepted domain that is authoritative as well I have updated the email address policies to see the format as @xxx-yyy.us.

When I then go to recipients and attempt to add a new mailbox my only domain option is the home domain and not xxx-yyy.us.

I have followed This technet article and reviewed over and over and I am positive I have all the settings correct but I am unable to get the domain to show. How can I add mailboxes for my email domain if all I see if the local domain.

external address sending mail thru server, maybe

$
0
0

This is an Exchange  2007 question, so if it needs to go somewhere else, let me know.

I found evidence on my Exchange 2007 sp3 server that an external address is trying to send email thru my server. We are not an open relay.

The troubling thing is that my mail server is not stopping the messages from getting to our SMTP relay. 

The only thing that has stopped delivery is the recipient email systems not accepting the messages.

Where do I start to look for the source of this problem?

Thanks

Exchange 2013 CAS issue with email flow, unable to send\receive internal emails

$

Hi Team,

Recently setup Exch 2013 envirionment with CU5, having two CAS (On Hyper-V2012R2) and four MBX servers(DAG)(On Hyper-V2008R2), all on seperate VMs.
This is in Co-existence with Ex 2010 sp3. I followed the following KB for CAS13 configuration:

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj218640(v=exchg.150).aspx

But I am unable send\receive mail internally from 2013 users to 2010 and vice versa. Mails are released from the outboxes from both types of users but never reached the destination.

Both CAS servers are fully internet-facing but since I am concerned with internal mail flow only, internet doesnt matter.

Any clue\help or KB, would be higly appreciated.

Thank You.

Exchange DAG and Firewall

$
0
0

Hopefully this is an easy question.  Thanks for taking the time to look.

At our firewall, we currently route our inbound SMTP traffic to a SPAM appliance. The appliance is being retired and we are moving to cloud based services.

My question is this: We do not have a CAS ARRAY (load balancer) basically two exchange servers in a DAG both servers housing identical roles. At the Firewall level, if I currently have the inbound SMTP pointed to the appliance, once the appliance is removed, do I point to the DAG IP or both Exchange Servers IP's?

Thanks again.

DR servers - mailflow question

$
0
0
So I have a main site with 8 Exchange servers and now a DR site with 4 Exchange servers all under the same DAG.  Two copies of DB at main site and a third passive copy at DR site.   The dr site DBs are set for manual activation only.   All exchange servers have all roles installed, we did not seperate all the cas role.  So I'm noticing that mail is routing through my DR servers at times.  Exchange is just seeing these other four servers as four more CAS servers and is using them as such.  What is the best practice here to not have any mail route through these DR servers?  Should I just disable all the recieve connectors on my DR servers?  Or is there another or better way to handle this?
