Junk-E-Mail folder

$

0

Hello everybody,

we are searching for a solution for a problem we cannot find a solution for at the moment. We have an automated process with a script to create new mailboxes and in this script one part is the create an inbox rule that all junk-mails forwards into the junk-mail-folder of the mailbox. The problem is, that the junk-mail-folder at this stage of the process not exists nor its name is known. The Mailbox exists already at this stage, also all mail addresses or any other preparations like policies.

We have tried to get the name with this powershell command:

$j = (Get-MailboxFolderStatistics -Identity $user | where {$_.foldertype -eq "JunkEMail"}).name

But $j is empty and therefore we are unable to create the inboxrule. Has anybody an idea how we can get the name of the junk-mail-folder without logging on to the mailbox, which is not really possible in an automated process and also not wanted? We would appreciate any idea or suggestion to solve this problem.

Thank you.

Exchange Server in a remote data center does not forward internal mail to other recipients

$

0

I have followed the online Exchange 2013 jump start to configure my Exchange server.  Due to electrical power problems in our country (South Africa) we decided to install a dedicated server with MS Exchange 2013 in a data center that guaranteed up-time.

The server now accepts mails for our domain.  We can mail other recipients in our domain without a problem.  When we try to mail an external recipient we get a no relay allowed error.

I have registered an authoritative Accepted domain as instructed.

If one uses the OWA to send mails it works fine as well.

How do I allow for relaying of mail from "internal" addresses only.

Thanks

message tracking statistics - powershell noob

Hi everyone.

So ive been tasked with two small assignments, and ive managed to get the first done fairly easy, the second is making my head hurt.

task 1 was: Give me the number of recieved e-mails on our callcenter shared mailbox in a given time period.
That can be handled with something as simple as:

[Int] $Received = 0

Get-messagetrackinglog -recipients <email> -start (get-date).addhours(-48) -end (get-date).addhours(-24) -EventID Receive |ForEach { $Received++ }

Write-host "Emails Received:",$Received

Which i then can output to a html or email to the appropriate callcenter manager.

Task 2 is what i find complicated....: Give me the number of mails we have not answered within 24 hours from the list above..

So say we receive 24 mails in the last 24 hours, he wants to know how many we haven't answered of those mails within 1 day.

The emails are Sent As of the call center, so they do not appear in the original recipients messagelog, as far as i can tell, but from the individual callcenter employee. Filtering on the message subject can be troublesome. since i cant be sure (infact im positive) there wont be messages with the same subject. I suppose i could filter on the sender, but im kind of clueless as to how to go by this in a smart way.

Is it even possible to do this in powershell, or am i looking at a third party solution? Any comments are appreciated


Exchange 2010 SPF Record

Hello All.............I have following questionwith respect to Exchange 2010 Mail Flow:

Often servers do not allow SMTP connection if sending SMTP Server does not have the SPF Record. Currently, I do not have any SPF Record defined in my external domain.  So, my question is that how can we create SPF Record in the external domain?  What is the syntax and what should be present in the server?  would it cause any undesirable affects?

Remove Expired Certificate

$

Using Exchange 2013 CU4.

We have one Digicert certificate for SMTP, IIS and IMAP that expires in a couple of days. We have already installed the new Digicert certificate for the same Services and it did prompt us to overwrite the existing SMTP certificate during installation. We have not restarted the server or any transport services.

We have done some research but have read different methods of removal of old certificate (EAC versus Shell)

What are the proper steps to remove the expiring certificate, including service restarts, etc.?

Thank you!

Hey Guys,

I am trying to get this to work: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj673037(v=exchg.150).aspx basically the document says to create partner connectors and then you will be able send TLS secured email between 2 environments. But for whatever reason I cannot get it to work.

I always get the same error message: 550 571 Client Not Authenticated, if I select "Anonymous Users" on the receive connector, then it works but the email does not come through as "Authenticated" but rather as "Anonymous".

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Robert

Hello,

I am on exchange CU7 update and trying to get anti-malware and spam to work.  I am constantly seeing the crashing of the FIP-FS service showing The FIP-FS Scan Process failed initialization.

Not receiving attachments larger than 7mb

Hello all and thanks in advance,

Ex2013cu7

A sender can successfully send me a 7MB .zip file.  Anything larger, I won't receive.  The sender does not get any sort of rejection.  I believe I have the receive connector set to a 35MB limit.  The TransportConfig is also set to 10MB.  The receive limit on my mailbox is unlimited.  I'm thinking my Receive connector "Halff Frontend srvRCH12" and my TransportConfig should likely be the same number, but I raised the RC to 35 as part of my troubleshooting.

Mail stuck in Draft in OWA

$

Hi All.

I faced with well knows and popular issue with Exchange server. I have Exchange organization, which consist from 4 server. 2 located in one datacenter(exch1, exch2) and 2 located in another datacenter(exch3, exch4). One of the server - Exch3 store the only copy of some database and users only of this server has following problem:

1. When you send email from OWA - it goes to 'Draft' folder and stuck there.

2. When you send email from Outlook - it goes to 'Send item' folder, but don't deliver to recipients

3. Periodically every 1-2-3 hours - mail flow start to work and all stuck emails - deliver to recipients. But this works only for 10-15 minutes and after - all the same.

I've tried:

1. Change DNS settings via ECP and powershell like described here:

http://thoughtsofanidlemind.com/2013/03/25/exchange-2013-dns-stuck-messages/

So now i see this in powershell:

[PS] C:\Windows\system32>Get-NetAdapter|fl *InterfaceGuid*


InterfaceGuid : {57BB352D-ADC7-4DFF-B130-D69E20B07BAD}



[PS] C:\Windows\system32>Get-TransportService -Identity exch3|fl *dns*


ExternalDNSAdapterEnabled : True
ExternalDNSAdapterGuid    : 57bb352d-adc7-4dff-b130-d69e20b07bad
ExternalDNSProtocolOption : Any
ExternalDNSServers        : {192.168.20.181, 192.168.50.100}
InternalDNSAdapterEnabled : True
InternalDNSAdapterGuid    : 57bb352d-adc7-4dff-b130-d69e20b07bad
InternalDNSProtocolOption : Any
InternalDNSServers        : {192.168.50.100, 192.168.20.181}
DnsLogMaxAge              : 7.00:00:00
DnsLogMaxDirectorySize    : 100 MB (104,857,600 bytes)
DnsLogMaxFileSize         : 10 MB (10,485,760 bytes)
DnsLogPath                :
DnsLogEnabled             : False

2. I have enough space on each disk, so 'Back pressure' shouldn't affect on my server.  Anyway i tried to disable in edge config file - the same, issue persist.

3. Tried to add records to host file for this server - issue persist.

4. Tried to reboot services, server.

5. Tried to recreate mail queue file - issue persist.

6. Tried to add google DNS as forward servers to my integrated DNS server - the same.

Any other suggestions?

Question about Send As and Moderated Distribution Groups

Scenario:  Two moderated distribution groups.

User: Approved sender on distribution group 1.
SharedMailbox: Approved sender on both distribution groups.

The user in question is now granted Send As rights for the Shared Mailbox.  Can this person, when sending as the Shared Mailbox, now send to distribution group 2, or are they still restricted in sending only to the groups for which they are explicitly allowed?



Exchange 2010 - How to limit message size when sending to more than one/few person

$

Hi,


I want to limit message size when sending to more than one or a few person on my domain.

I checked the Receiving  limit configuration for a specific people or specific distribution group.

In case of someone who send email to a few mailboxes inside my domain that are not listed in the specific rule, So there is the problem.

although  - When expanding the distribution group from "TO" in outlook(show the members), Should the rule break because the distribution group name has been removed?


Sorry for my lame English(working on improvement).

Best Regards,

Transport Rule disclaimer append to both message and Calendar entry

Hi,

I've created a transport rule to add a disclaimer text to an appointment that has a specific user as recipient (ex : send to "jp@gmail.com")

My problem is, I want the disclaimer text to be added in both the invite request and the calendar entry. For now all I have managed to do is adding it to the request and to the calendar entry of the receiver ... but I don't find any way of adding it to sender calender entry ...

Is there a way to do this ?

Thanks

Public Folders - How do I force a sync?

$

0


I have 4 copies of a public folder store, two copies in different AD sites residing on 2010 servers (being accessed from 2013)

I'm using Exfolders (the new PFDAVADMIN) for debugging the widespread replication issue.

In exfolders, I've gone to each copy of the public folder (on each server) and did a bulk edit of 

* Replicas (to merge and add all 4 servers) 
* Sync time (always)

But on one server, I was still getting "no replica available" when I expanded a folder.  As a result I went to each server and selected "propagate replica list".  That force-fixed the replicas.. but still I'm getting not matching contents as illustrated in the image below:

 

Note the scroll bar length is different for each.  

**Question**

How can I force all copies of all folders to be up to date -without risking losing data?

What might have caused this to be in this state?

Relay not working for Website messages

$
0

Hello,

We just got done installing Exchange Server 2013. All is working well except for one problem. We have a website that users register for events. After registration the user is supposed to receive an email confirmation. That email is never sent/received IF the email address is external i.e yahoo.com. The message is received if I use an internal email address i.e.mydomain.com to register. I have created a FrontendTransport receive connector and added the internal IP Address of the web server and still no go. Authentication is set to TLS and Permission Groups is set to Anonymous. Funny thing is I have two other servers added to that same receive connector that send out external notifications and those are being sent and received just fine. The difference between the web server and other two servers is this is a Linux box running Drupal and the other two are Windows boxes. I did trace on a successfully delivered internal message and the message is being sent by the default Drupal/Apache user www-data@www.mydomain.com by postfix.

Any help would be most appreciated,

Jeff
