In my research Attachment Size Limit and Message Size Limit appear to be referenced the same...frankly speaking there is no difference and Exchange 2010 doesn't explicitly state "Attachment Size Limit" anywhere in EMC.
And one other question, does Exchange inflate an attachment up to 30%? I have 10MB Message Size Limits in place for all users but when they attach a file smaller than 10MB they are rejected
I have an exchange 2013 server fronted by anti-spam unix servers. Once in a while i get this:
status=deferred (delivery
temporarily suspended: host xxxxxxx refused to talk to me: 421 4.3.2 Service not available)
I have to restart the transport service on exchange and mail start flowing again. Is it related to the amount of connections?
Thanks
Hello,
We are working with Exchange 2013 and would like an email account to forward email to a group or multiple mailboxes. First we go to the "Exchange Admin Setup." Then we select a "User Mailbox" and go to "Mailbox Features." Then we go to "Mail Flow" and click "View Details." This leads to the "Delivery Options" screen (image attached below).
Once we "browse" to select mailboxes or groups, the groups that we have set up don't show up in the list. In addition, only one user mailbox can be selected rather than multiple ones.
Is there something that must be done in order to have groups show up in the "Enable forwarding" list even though it clearly reads "Forward email to the following mailboxes
or groups?"
Murphy strikes.<o:p></o:p>
We own a domain e.g. newcompanyINC.com (was available for purchase)<o:p></o:p>
Users request alias newcompany.com (was not available for purchase)<o:p></o:p>
Helpdesk adds bad alias to 50 accountsuser@newcompany.com vs good alias
user@newcopmanyINC.com
- Works internal? Does not work external...<o:p></o:p>
Usual end-user complaint about not getting mail and 2 hours latter voila! <o:p></o:p>
I assume this is related to our migration from zimbra to exchange last year... I assume we had to do something to allow non-authoritative domains to be used for aliases... I assume that this allows random aliases to be added to a mailbox...<o:p></o:p>
So... Zimbra would not have allowed the helpdesk to add an alias for a non-existent domain. Is the exchange behavior normal and unchangeable, default and changeable or migration related hack that needs undone?<o:p></o:p>

Hi,
I've looked at all sorts of forums and have not been able to get this fixed.
I have one Exchange 2010 server working, and one Exchange 2013 server being installed, currently with two test mailboxes on it.
They are both on the same domain, in the same site, on the same physical network. They can Ping each and access each others resources. They both have no Firewall or Antivirus on them.
I have all default receive connectors on the Exchange 2013 server Enabled.
2013 can send and receive emails on the 2013 mailboxes on itself. It can also send and receive external emails.
But emails from 2010 to 2013 do not work. Weirdly they work from 2013 to 2010.
The Queue Viewer on Exchange 2010 comes up with an error:
451 4.4.0 Primary Target IP address responded with: "451 5.7.3 Cannot Achieve Exchange server Authentication." Attempted to failover to alternate host, but that did not succeed. Either there are no alternate hosts, or delivery failed to all
alternate hosts.
I have tried many posts to try and get the communication work, so no idea where to go. the issue (in my eyes) clearly lies with the receive connectors on the 2013 Exchange server..
I created another Receive Connector, Internal-Relay, as a Hub Transport, with:
Authentication settings of: TLS, Basic, BasicTLS, Exchange Server
Permission Groups: Exchange Servers, Legacy Exchange Servers
Scoping: Remote: both my Exchange servers
Scoping: Network Adapter Bindings: All Available IPv4 on port 25
FQDN: FQDN of the exchange 2013 server
and it is Enabled.
I also ran on my Cisco ASA 5510: no fixup protocol smtp 25
So I am not sure what to do..
Thanks
Hi,
I am needing some assistance with an Exchange 2013 server, I have activated the anti-spam feature however it is stopping all mail internal and externally. I have disabled and removed the feature anti-spam however mail is still not working.
If I look at the netstats the service is not listening, all the transport services are running with no issues. If I send a mail from an external address to an internal address it gets delayed.
Looking forwards to some help with this.
Regards,
Gareth
Hello,
We have an Exchange 2010 server that was sending emails ok until the Internet connection changed ISP.
All emails get stuck in the queue with the following error:
451 4.4.0 Primary targeted IP address responded with: "421 4.2.1 Unable to connect." Attempted failover to alternate hosts, or delivery failed to alternate hosts.
Anyone have any ideas please?!
We have an Exchange 2013 server which was working fine, but after a failed CU2 upgrade, we rolled back to the restore and since then mail isn't flowing. All emails go into drafts.
We can telnet to port 25 locally on the server, but not from anywhere else, the connection is cut remotely.
There is no AV, nor any firewalls in the way. Servers in the same subnet are unable to connect on port 25...but can connect on port 80 for example, or 2525.
We've restored from various backups...all the same. Running out of ideas...
All thoughts very welcome.
Dear All,
How to Create Exchange Rule for Forward mail and Exception calendar.
Example:
Hello,
I have a question about the protocol used by the Exchange Mail forwarding ( ForwardingAddress)
If I disable my mailbox's protocols ActiveSync, OWA, IMAP, POP and MAPI, could the mail transfer still work?
Thank you.
Hi,
I want to get the user name from particular windows event ID and restrict that user to receive email from particular group. Can anyone please help me the powershell commands here.
Hi,
So I needed to setup an email capture for all mails sent to and received from 3 External Domains. For example - any emails sent to/or recieved from @abc.com and @xyz.com from my domain should be captured. So this is what I did.
1) I created an email address called ecapture@mydomain.com
2) Created transport rules for any emails sent to Users inside the organization and when the from address contains @abc.com BCC the message to ecapture@mydomain.com
3) Created transport rules for messages sent from users inside the organization and when a To (message header) contains @abc.com
I created the same rules for the other 2 domains. Unfortunately none of the rules work :(. I tried restarting the transport service, and I restarted the server too, but the rules just dont work. I checked the status of the rules on the command shell and it shows enabled as well. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Hello,
I want to give access to internal devices and third party software on network joined machines on the internal network to be able to use exchange 2013 to send email to external and internal recipients.
I setup a new Receive Connector with role of FrontendTransport.
Under security I have enabled
-Transport Layer Security (TLS)
-External secured (for example, with IPSec)
Under permission groups I have Exchange servers ticked (I also tried anonymous, have same issue)
Under scoping I have remote network settings being my subnet e.g. 192.168.10.0/24
I thought that should do what I want. However, when I activate the connector, my submission queue gets bombarded with spam. Mostly from randomcharacters@yahoo.com, with subjects that are like ascii characters. e.g. within 24 hours I had 140,000 emails in the queue, so I ended up having to disable my SMTP forwarder queue and deleting the queue directory altogether then restarting.
Do I have it configured incorrectly, or is my spam issue originating from a machine on the subnet?
Thanks,
Blair

hi there , here is what i wanted to do .
we have a calll center who as to send email to client but i want them to use service@xyz.com in replacement of their email.But i want them to use their email for internal communication.
And i want that to be enforce so that the end user cannot change it .like a transport rules or something like that.
I am banging my head against the wall here.
Since a few days, I am getting emails that are addressed from myself and addressed to me. Now obviously this is comming from some spammer, so I decided to do a search or two to fix this.
Now IMHO allowing anyone to send as a local user is a big security issue. Any smart user could simply telnet into the local smtp server and send an email using any local user ! No idea why this is the default behaviour for Exchange, but quite frankly, if you claim you are a local user, you authenticate to prove it !
My search netted me with three suggestions, none of them work:
1) remove ms-Exch-SMTP-Accept-Any-Sender for anonymous users on the receive connector
2) remove ms-Exch-SMTP-Accept-Authoritative-Domain-Sender for anonymous users on the receive connector
3) enable Sender-ID validation on the receive connector, with a corresponding TXT (SPF) record in DNS.
Even with all three of these in place, I am fully able to enter a local user in the mail from field on the SMTP server.
Now Certainly there must be a way to prevent this from happening ?
Hello, this morning I've launched the Cu2 setup on my Exchange 2103 Cu1 Server (single server on W2012).
The prereq check told me that I had to remove non-US language packs, so I canceled the setup.
I restarted the transport service. About 30 minutes later, users started reporting that the mail flow was broken: we couldn't receive or send mail.
After some checks, I discovered that the server is no longer accepting connection on port tcp 25 and the only queue visible in queue manager is the submission queue.
Trying to telnet exchange server on port 25 tcp fails, the server immediately closes the connection.
I don't know how to restore the transport server functionality.
Is this a correct script to configure BlockList Providers in Exchange 2013 RTM?
& $env:ExchangeInstallPath\Scripts\Install-AntiSpamAgents.ps1
Restart-Service MSExchangeTransport
Add-IPBlockListProvider -Name "Spam haus" -LookupDomain zen.spamhaus.org -AnyMatch $true

does anyone know exactly what causes this error? there are many references to it on the web, but nobody seems to know exactly what causes it. maybe it's something to do with DNS?
can someone please ask someone on the exchange team to help document this?
