Exchange 2013. How to force SMTP authentication for Authoritative Domains.

$
0
0

I've found that in Exchange 2013 I am able to send email FROM a local account, TO a local account, and have the server not ask for any authentication. I want to lock this down, but I can't find a setting anywhere in Exchange or Forefront to tell the receive connector to authenticate any session where the email is FROM a local user.
On Exchange 2010 I removed a permission from the Internet recieve connector:
remove-ADPermission -Identity <receive connector> -User "NT AUTHORITY\ANONYMOUS LOGON" -ExtendedRights ms-Exch-SMTP-Accept-Authoritative-Domain-Sender
and it works, but its not worked on Exchange 2013.

Please advise! 

Exchange 2013 TransportRoles\Data\Temp filling up disk

$
0
0

I have a single multi-role Exchange 2013 server and it would appear that it's not properly maintaining the temp files for the transport service.  I still have all those folder locations at their default and the problem folder is c:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V15\TransportRoles\data\Temp

I never had a problem with this in Exchange 2007 but I am used to running a PowerShell script nightly to clean up the IIS log files.  Do I need to do something similar for this temp folder?  Is there a setting I can adjust so that Exchange will limit the size of this folder itself?  If I stop the transport service and delete the files here will I lose anything?

Any suggestions or insight would be greatly appreciated.


SMTP vs TLS

$

Hopefully a quickie,

When a certificate shows that it is enabled for SMTP, IMAP, IIS and POP Services is this also indicating that it is also used for TLS?

I am not finding anything that indicates that both are the same. After removing the soon to be expired certificate from the EMC I stopped getting the error message;

"The STARTTLS certificate will expire soon:"

Just don't want to assume I am covered and am not seeing anything other than how to replace the TLS Cert via the shell.

Thanks,

Exchange 2013 "blacklisting" random emails for 1800 seconds?

$
0
0

We use app river to filter out any spam/viruses prior to coming to our Exchange 2013 server.  We are experiencing that some emails are being delayed for 1800 seconds through out the day, a sort of blacklisting by our Exchange server.  Does 1800 seconds or 30 mins ring a bell for anyone, I'm not sure what setting is causing this.  During the blacklist other emails are able to flow without issue.  These messages just seem to be stuck for 30 mins and then get resent and go thru after that timeout period. 

We are also running Symantec Mail Security 7.5 on that ex server.  We have the Antivirus turned on and do not have any spam settings enabled. 

This is the message that app river is showing in their logs:
 rsp: 451 4.7.0 Temporary server error. Please try again later. PRX5
message body rejected, got:451 4.7.0 Temporary server error. Please try again later. PRX5
batch delayed for 1800 seconds

I've searched 451 4.7.0 Temporary server error. Please try again later. PRX5, created host files, manually applied dns entries to the server dns lookups setting and changed the default front end receive connector scoping from any avil ip addy to a specific static ip, but no luck.

Need to notify IT if a message is delayed

$

Hi, 

In the Exchange ECP you can go to the server and then transport limits.  Here you can set the option to notify the sender if a message is delayed, we do so after 1 hour.  IT also needs to be notified if their is a delay to any messages how can I do this?  Is there a way IT can be notified when the queue is backed up because we need to take measures sometimes usually one message is stuck in the queue and hanging stuff up.  



Certificate export to setup Virtual Certificate Collection

$

I also asked this in the Exchange Online forum, but that seems to be more focused on users than administration.

I am attempting to setup a test of S/MIME in a hybrid Exchange Online scenario.  I have a functional on premise AD CA on a DC which is syncing (DirSync) with Azure/Exchange Online.  I now need to create a "Virtual Certificate Collection" by creating an SST to upload.  The MS article states:  

"As an administrator, you can create this SST file by exporting the certificates from a trusted machine using the Export-Certificate cmdlet and specifying the type as SST. For more information the Export-Certificate cmdlet, see the Export-Certificate reference topic."

What are "the certificates", and more importantly what is the syntax for the export-certificate cmdlet's -Cert parameter.  The examples in the export-certificate documentation have paths which look like: 

cert:\CurrentUser\My\EEDEF61D4FF6EDBAAD538BB08CCAADDC3EE28FF

So far only have the root CA certificate and a single enrolled user.

Thank you in advance for any tips.


Mails with attachments not being delivered on one Mailbox-Server in DAG 'recipientthreadlimitexceeded, intra-organization SMTP Send Connector'

$

Hello everybody,

we are running exchange 2013 with cu1 wit 2 CAS (ex01 and ex02) and two MBX-Servers (ex03 and ex04). We are already in a call there with Microsoft. Anyway i'd like to describe the existing Problem here.

We have 4 Databases productive, that only deliver mail (any mails, with/without attachments) when being mounted on ex03.

As soon as they are mounted on ex04 mails with attachments from the outside and from the inside are not being delivered to users Mailboxes and stay in the queue with a '452 4.3.1 Insufficient system ressources' All disks have enough free space, no corresponding eventlog showing a problem because of throtteling. Mails without attachments run just fine.

In the message-tracking Log we see a 'recipientthreadlimitexceeded, intra-organization SMTP Send Connector'. With MS-Support, we tweaked the msexchangedelivery.exe.config with different values for

<add key="RecipientThreadLimit" value="20"/>

<add key="MaxMailboxDeliveryPerMDBConnections" value="60"/>

<add key="MailboxServerThreadLimit" value="240"/>

 

and Edgetransport.exe.config with

<add key="RecipientThreadLimit" value="7"/>

<add key="MaxMailboxDeliveryPerMDBConnections" value="8"/>

This did not resolve the issue.

We disabled the Anti-Malware-Agent in the Transport. There is Mcafee on the system (as is on the others) with proper exclusions (the others run just fine with that config)

We set tnef to false. I don't know if this caused the issue on the system, setting it back to true did not resolve the issue.

We have all the productive db's now running on ex03. When adding a new DB 'test' on ex04 and putting one test-mailbox on thar db we are able to reproduce the problem without Userimpact.

Well, anyone has an Idea? As i said, MS is right now analysing a trace. I'll keep this thread updated.

Custom DSN message nor custom rejection message is appearing when Transport Rule Blocks incoming e-mail.

Good Afternoon,

      My Customer is running Exchange 2013 CU5 that has a transport rule that is supposed to reject any email from a particular user as that user is no longer with the company. The transport rule rejects the message, BUT, it does not show the Custom DSN. It shows the default message:

Delivery has failed to these recipients or groups:

user@domain.com Your message wasn't delivered because the recipient's email provider rejected it.

Diagnostic information for administrators:

Generating server: EXMBX01.DOMAIN.LOCAL

user@domain.com Remote Server returned '< #5.7.169 smtp;550 5.7.169 TRANSPORT.RULES.RejectMessage; the message was rejected by organization policy>'

I have looked up the transport rule in Exchange:

Get-TransportRule "User Reject" | fl *Reject*,Description


RejectMessageEnhancedStatusCode   : 5.7.169
RejectMessageReasonText           : This E-MAIL Address is no longer in service. Please Contact
                                    nglaser@domain.com for assistance
SmtpRejectMessageRejectText       :

                                                   Is sent to 'User@domain.com'
                                                   and Is received from 'Outside the organization'
                                               Take the following actions:
                                                   Set audit severity level to 'High'
                                                   and reject the message and include the explanation 'This E-MAIL
                                               Address is no longer in service. Please Contact
                                               nglaser@domain.com for assistance' with the status code: '5.7.169'

I tried setting up to separate external DSN messages and tried both with the same results:

Get-SystemMessage | ft -a -wr

en\External\5.7.169 This E-MAIL Address is no longer in service. Please Contact nglaser@domain.com for assistance.

I tried to change the SmtpRejectMessageRejectText on both Exchange servers and got the following error:

Set-TransportRule -Identity "User Reject" -SMTPRejectMessageRejectText "This E-MAIL Addre
ss is no longer in service. Please Contact nglaser@domain.com for assistance"

Good Afternoon,

       I have a customer running Exchange 2010 SP3 RU5 on SBS 2011. When trying to send a message that has a 10+ MB attachment they receive a rejection message:

This message wasn't delivered to anyone because it's too large. The limit is 9 MB. This message is 25 MB.

There are no special SmartHosts that the internet send connector sends to. I created a new send connector and disabled all of the other send connectors and tried to send the message again with the same error. I also checked the corresponding ADSI Attributes to see if they did  not apply or were wrong for some reason:

I went to ADSI Edit and browsed to Configuration\Services\Microsoft Exchange\GASFP\Global Settings
I then looked at the following of Message Delivery Properties:

delivContLength: This is the incoming message size limit that corresponds to theMaxReceiveSize parameter in the Set-TransportConfigcmdlet.
submissionContLength: This is the receiving message size limit that corresponds to theMaxSendSize parameter in the Set-TransportConfigcmdlet.
msExchRecipLimit: This is the maximum number of message recipients that corresponds to the MaxRecipientEnvelopeLimit parameter in the Set-TransportConfig cmdlet.

The first two were set to 40MB and the last was set to 5000 recipients. All these settings are correct.

I am stuck at this point and any help would be appreciated.

Exchange 2013 Address Book Policy Routing Agent Issue with Mailboxes Hidden From the Address Lists

$

When the AddressBookPolicyRoutingEnabled attribute is enabled by running Set-TransportConfig -AddressBookPolicyRoutingEnabled $True, I am having an issue with delivery failures for mailboxes that are hidden from the address book. I receive the following undeliverable message:

'532 5.3.2 STOREDRV.Deliver; Missing or bad StoreDriver MDB properties'

If I disable the AddressBookPolicyRoutingEnabled attribute by running Set-TransportConfig -AddressBookPolicyRoutingEnabled $False then emails are successfully delivered to the mailbox that is hidden from the address list.

I followed the installation instructions here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj907308(v=exchg.150).aspx

Below is the status of the ABP Routing Agent on my Hub Transport/Mailbox server:

Enabled: True
Priority: 5
TransportAgentFactory: Microsoft.Exchange.Transport.Agent.AddressBookPolicyRoutingAgent.AddressBookPolicyRoutingAgentFactory
AssemblyPath: C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V15\TransportRoles\agents\AddressBookPolicyRoutingAgent\Microsoft.Exchange.Transport.Agent.AddressBookPolicyRoutingAgent.dll

Hi,

I published my Exchange 2013. But when I configure my exchange server by autodiscover, it does not show my exchange server name in Server Settings. Instead it shows the following information

02772f84-w6h7-37o0-z3gt-433gfddfb@domain.com

and instead of showing my name it shows my email address in Username.

I cannot configure my email address manually by giving server name and exchange proxy settings.

Can you help me how can I change the settings to show my Exchange Server name in Server Name of Outlook and my display name in Username.

Forwarding to Outbound Connectors

Hi Everyone,

Quick question, hopefully an easy solution...

I currently have a rule in place which forwards all mail to user@domain.com to an outbound connector.

This works great, and the end-user receives the email at the connectors end point.

However I would like it so that it keeps a copy of the email in the users local mailbox as well as forward to the outbound connector. I am using Exchange Online (Office365), and can't seem to find any option for this.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,
Anthony

How to access unread mails of all users in Exchange server without having Passwords and without giving mailbox access to other user.

$
0

Hi all,

   I am using Exchange server 2013, my task is to create Service , that need's to  monitor continuously for new mails of all Mailboxes in my server. if any user got new mail i need to get that Mail Subject, Mail Body, Sender Email Address [From emailId] .  

Limitation : I don't have Passwords of mailboxes , so i gave all mailbox access permission  to one user , then i completed this   service using below code.

 But now, Client not willing to give Mailbox Permissions to one user because of security problems.

How can i do this without passwords and without giving permissions to other user ?

i don't want all mailbox access , i just need only access Mail Subject , Body and Sender mail address .

How can i achieve this ?


Process i follow

=> I created new user in server , and then i gave full permissions of all Mailboxes to newly created user[ex: james] in database level.

     i use below command for giving permissions in database level.

Get-MailboxDatabase -Identity <Database Name> | Add-ADPermission -User <User> -AccessRights GenericAll

 => using below code i am searching unread mails of all user Mailboxes and then getting Subject, body and Sender Email            address . here i am have list of users,

ExchangeService service = new ExchangeService(ExchangeVersion.Exchange2013); service.Credentials = new WebCredentials("james@admin.com", "password"); service.AutodiscoverUrl("james@admin.com");

 foreach (Object obj in usersList) // here i have Mailbox users list in usersList
             {

var userMailbox = new Mailbox(obj.user); var folderId = new FolderId(WellKnownFolderName.Inbox, userMailbox); SearchFilter.IsEqualTo filter1 = new SearchFilter.IsEqualTo(EmailMessageSchema.IsRead, false); var itemView = new ItemView(50); var userItems = service.FindItems(folderId, filter1, itemView); foreach (var item in userItems) { item.Load(); var senderEmail = ((EmailMessage)item).From; var subject = item.Subject; var body = item.Body; }

}
