Hi all,

One of our clients (an engineering company) have asked if it's possible to implement some sort of auto-filing system for inbound and outbound emails which pertain to each job. Each job has a unique job number in the system, and currently they prefix emails pertaining to each job to the subject line of the email. ie "[#1234] Specifications Attached". 

The thinking was that we could create some sort of exchange / mailbox rule to identify that the email has a "[# $VAR ]" in the subject line and automatically create a copy of the email and file it into "Shared Mailbox\Job Number". If"Shared Mailbox\Job Number" didn't exist, it would need to create a new folder under the Shared Mailbox.

The client currently uses Microsoft Exchange Online (Plan 1) for their Exchange Infrastructure, so we may be limited in performing some tasks.

Any feedback and ideas are greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Anthony

Hi all,

Exchange 2013_CU9 With multiple older/expired SMTP-enabled SAN certs installed, Newwildcard cert was installed and SMTP-enabled before the old ones expired. When the old ones expired, I started to get

"There is no valid SMTP Transport Layer Security (TLS) certificate for the FQDN of Mail1.domain com The existing certificate for that FQDN has expired. The continued use of that FQDN will cause mail flow problems. A new certificate that contains the FQDN of MAIL1.domain.com should be installed on this server as soon as possible. You can create a new certificate by using the New-ExchangeCertificate task."

Why? Should I remove all the old ones With "Date invalid" to get rid of this? And how can I do this without something breaking here?

Thanks.

1.  Is this a legitimate server? This is the server for my email at Hotmail  On my computer. I can not figure out the server on my android. My android has 2 different email accounts.

2.  I recently found that 3 of my Gmail accounts were tied together. One being invalid- no longer in service.  Is there a way to check my email addresses and to track down the person or company who keeps hijacking my emails?

3. If i email myself. I can manually type in my email address but i can not send the email unless i enable or press on same address that is programmed in my contact list. All of my email accounts must have a tag along.

4. I also believe... There is another email address already in the to:,  cc:, &  Bcc: I have tested many theories on many email accounts that i have created over the last 3 years.

5. I apologize for the format on this irritating novel that i have written.  I am not familiar with the limited word processing ability of this... box. ? My computer skills are lacking. But I do believe that my phone number and my name 'together' is a huge =-Please hack me-= with flashing lights.   

Hi All,

I have a strange problem with my Exchange setup (new install) in which I cannot edit or add to email address policies. The address format column is blank (see imageI cannot add Images yet will update when I can). When I try to save the policy anyway hoping it was just a display issue I get the following error: "MultiValuedProperty collections cannot contain null values. Parameter name: item"

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Our company use the exchange mail. I try to send email in command line with it.

I can send email to others who use the same smtp server while I can't send email to those who use a different smtp server.

Anyone can help me?

Hello guys,

I created a send connector without TLS, but through testing I realized that even then returns the error message below domains that do not have TLS configured.

#>
MessageId:
Recipients: {} schmidt@externaldomain.com.br
RecipientStatus: {[{LRT =}, {LED = 500 5.3.3 Unrecognized command};} {FQDN =; = {IP}]}
<#

I also realized that even if I create an output connector, it authenticates the "Default mbx01" which has TLS set up.

Is there any way to send to create a customized output connector without TLS not authenticate the Default connector?

Tanks!

When I run mail flow troubleshooter analysis, I get the following error below.  I am hoping someone in this forum can point me in the right direction to troubleshoot as I have already look into sent/receive connector.

1-     Error submitting mail

Mail submission failed: Error message: Server does not support secure connections.

2-     Error submitting mail

Mail submission failed: Error message: The SMTP host was not specified

3-     Error submitting mail

Hi,

So I have a single Exchange 2013 server. We recently migrated from Exchange 2007 (and that server has been decommissioned). We use Solarwinds Orion for network monitoring. It has an alerting function. I added the IP address of the Solarwinds sever to our internal relay Receive Connector so Exchange will accept messages from the Solarwinds server. I can send alerts to any internal email address successfully (for instance I set the recipient to my own email address and it worked). However, we want to be able to have alerts go to our pager. So I put in the recipient address ofxxxxxxxxxx@usamobility.net. This function works perfectly fine for other systems that we have alerting set up on (for instance we use APC Struxtureware for alerting our pager on power outages). I am also able to send an email to the pager from my Outlook. However, the Solarwinds server logs this error:

The server rejected one or more recipient addresses. The server response was: 550 5.7.1 Unable to relay

The only way I'm able to get it to go through successfully is if I go to Mail Flow > Accepted Domains and add usamobility.net as aninternal relay. I'm sure that nobody is going to hack into our network and start spamming us with emails to usamobility.net but is this a bad practice? What type of security threats am I open to? Am I doing this wrong is there another way around this problem?

Thanks in advance!

Hello,

I recently migrated to a exchange 2013 on win 2012r2, works well! 

I have a third party software that connect trough POP3 to get emails, but the encoding is in UTF-8 and my software is not compatible with UTF-8, how can I set exchange to encode in something else?

Thank you !

Hi,

I have a 3 node Exchange 2013 deployment (CAS and two node mailbox DAG). Having configured my Outlook Anywhere settings some 9 months (using split DNS to allow my OWA SSL cert to work both externally & internally, despite having a .local internal domain), everything was great until I started implementing some office 365 preparation  ie Added External domain to Office 365 Portal and added external DNS records (autodiscover.outlook.com& msoid) set up ADFS server and UPN suffix for external domain) and after some time, my Outlook clients could no longer connect (kept prompting for credentials that were not accepted).

OWA, Activesync still work (internally and externally) but Outlook Anywhere only works externally now. I have played around with the Authentication settings (tried NTLM) on both Internal & External URL settings using powershell but no change.

Set-OutlookAnywhere -Identity “CAS name\RPC (Default Web Site)” -ExternalHostname “OWA.domain.com” -InternalClientAuthenticationMethod ntlm -InternallClientsRequireSsl $true

Set-OutlookAnywhere -Identity “CAS name\RPC (Default Web Site)” -ExternalHostname “OWA.domain.com” -ExternalClientAuthenticationMethod ntlm -ExternalClientsRequireSsl $true

When I try and create a new profile, Autodisovery finds the correct mailbox GUID and adds it in but then says the Exchange server is unavailable. Interestingly when I try and manually add the settings using the CAS server name, it resolves the server name to the mailbox_server_node_b (which is the location of the passive DAG copy) and then cannot connect with the resulting profile.

I cannot see how the Office365 Prep is related but equally cannot understand what can explain the issue

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.

We have an Exchange 2013 on-premise server and seem to have an issue with emails sent to internal and external users at the same time.

The issue came to light because someone sent an email to 44 recipients, of which one was internal. None of the external recipients received the email. I checked the delivery report in the EAC and found the internal email marked as 'Delivered' and all of the external ones marked as 'Pending'. I checked the queues and there were none. I did some testing and sent an email to just one of the external addresses on the list, it arrived. I tried sending the email again to all of the recipients, the external ones all showed 'Pending'. I tried it again, but this time excluded the internal email address and all of the 43 external emails were immediately delivered.

So it seems that the issue only arises when we are sending to both internal and external addresses.

I then tried a test email to one internal address and one external address. The Delivery report says that the internal address was delivered immediately, while the external address is 'Pending' and gives more information saying: 'Message delivery is taking longer than expected. There may be system delays. For more information, contact your helpdesk.'. To add further mystery to this, the email was actually delivered.

So, I have two concerns:

First is seems that some emails sent both internally and externally are only arriving internally. This is a huge problem because I don't know how many have been affected. There may be many lost emails we don't know about.

Second, it looks like I can't trust the delivery report. It says pending for some emails which didn't arrive, but it also says pending for some which did arrive. That is no good at all.

For info the server is running Windows Server 2012. I have run a Microsoft Update to check if there are any to apply and the only Exchange one is a spam filter update, which I doubt has any bearing but I will apply when I get chance.

Hi

We are having an issue with OOO. I have checked Remote-Domains and the settings are enabled, we are using a smart host and I have queried if that can handle the OOO mails, but that should not stop internal OOO, I have used Get-MailBoxAutoConfiguration and OOO is enabled on the account. Accounting to the delivery report in exchange the mail is generated and sent. I have also checked autodiscover on outlook and the url is correct, no errors. Any this else I can check?

Hi all,

I'm need help to understand the steps a mail goes through when an OOF rule is processed by the exchange as it seems to be acknowledging the incoming mails to have an automatic response but then dropping the response before it is sent.

I have a working exchange 2013 Std server. Mail works into and out of the organization. AutomaticReplies are enabled $True, AutoReply is enabled $True, AllowedOOFType is set to ExternalLegacy...however...when users enable their OOF automatic replies no response emails are being sent at all either internally nor externally.

Automated response rule processing by the exchange itself does seem to be triggered by the exchange but it is then dropping the mails and nothing gets sent. A message log track only ever shows two entries against a -Sender track on a mailbox when a user enables OOF. The EvendId on the process is only ever RECEIVE and there is never anything else like TRANSFER, SUBMIT or SEND.

We do however have 'dummy' mailboxes setup with outlook rules applied to them to send automated responses to people who email into a distribution list. This automated response rule processing on the mailbox side works 100%.

I've disabled the antivirus...why else would exchange not completely process or send an automatic reply message?

Thanks in advance,

Hi,

I manage two exchange servers in two separate domains \ forests. Domain A works great. Domain B sends and receives fine but OOF messages are not being delivered either internally nor externally.

I have confirmed OOF is correctly enabled on both servers.

[PS] C:\>Get-RemoteDomain | fl AllowedOOFType, AutoReplyEnabled, AutoForwardEnabled

AllowedOOFType     : ExternalLegacy
AutoReplyEnabled   : True
AutoForwardEnabled : True

When I run a MessgaeTrackingLog query on both servers specifically looking at a senders message log and isolating the message subject which is prefixed with"Automatic Reply:" the logs are vastly different.

The working server in Domain A has usually between 10 and 11 steps for processingmessages prefixed with "Automatic Reply" but the dysfunctional domain B only ever has 2 steps for messages prefixed with "Automatic Reply"!?!?

Below is the working Exchange server in Domain A - DomainA-EX01 log data...

Note the vast difference is the EventId and Source transactions of log data. Can somebody please talk me through these steps and explain why they are missing on the dysfunctional exchange server?

Both servers also sit behind the same firewall and no MTA is working on the firewall \ proxy so I am ruling that out.

Thanks in advance...

Hi, I'm unable to send a email from my on-premise exchange 2013 server to my exchange online server.

Both have separate domain, and the O365 is synced with my AD with Dirsync, it's for all our student.

When I try to send a email from my email to a student address I have NDR error

Remote
Server returned '420 4.2.0 Recipient deferred because there is no Mdb'

The O365 domain is reachable if we send from external address to O365 it's fine. If we send email from O365 to our on-premise server domain, it's fine. It's only when my server want to send to 0365 account.

The O365 domain isn't listed in accepted domain in our on-premise server should be created?

I Have a send connector for the o365 domain in our on-premise server and he take MX to send to the domain and the type is personnalized. Is it correct?

In the get-hybridconfiguration the 0365 isn't listed, should it be since the 0365 domain will not be in our on-premise server.

Thanks

Greetings

My Org has Exchange 2013 Setup.

I am about to configure application in my environment which will send 5000+ emails via a Receive Connector to the internal/external recipients each day.

Please suggest the best practices to configure the SMTP traffic to be relayed through Exchange with out affecting any Exchange SMTP traffic.

Also, suggest if there is any way i can check the current SMTP load to ensure that my Exchange setup has adequate resources to handle the entire SMTP traffic.

Thanks in advance.

Hello

I would like to setup a transport rule to block external email for a set of users. i.e. those users cannot send email externally.

I do not want those users to have to be a member of a distribution group (BlockExternalEmail for example)

What methods can i achieve an ad scoped membership for this transport rule without a distribution group.

Both mail-enabled security groups and distribution groups create a ... distribution list.

Thanks
