    Distribution lists/groups without SMTP email

    Hello all, We used to be able in Exchange 5.5 to have distribution list without SMTP email addresses (to avoid external parties to send email to these groups, especially the "All Company" list) Is there a way to do this in EX2K? Every time we add a list it automatically adds the SMTP...

    Folder view without Advanced author rights?

    Hello all, Is it possible to allow all users folder view without giving them advance author rights? We can only do this if we give advance autor rights to the user but we do not want to give them that level of permission. Additionally, once per week the Folder view stops working all together...

    Email address being used by unauthorized person

    How can someone send email and make it look like it came from my email address? Better yet, how do I prevent this? (We are behind a firewall, relaying is not allowed, OS is NT4&2000) A person in my company received an email where my email address was the From address. The email was not even...

    NT to 2000 Migration problem

    Upon further testing, the above statement is not always true. But we do see this error message in the event log when a user loses connectivity to network resources. "No suitable Domain Controller is available for domain xyz. An NT4 or older domain controller is available but it can not be...

    Mysterious outbound email

    Would it be true that when you forward a message you lose the header info? (at least the parts from the original/previous message) The message(s) in question did pass thru our SMTP server for sure based on our employee responding to the inbound email asking him why he sent the email.

    Mysterious outbound email

    Thanks for the tip - but the text box is completely empty! (I've checked other messages and see what you mean) Is there a way to delete this info?

    Mysterious outbound email

    An individual outside of our company claims they received an email from one of our employees. The employee did not send the message. No message in his Sent folder, nor was he even logged in the system when these messages were delivered. The employee is a trusted person. This has...

    Nortel Extranet (VPN) over LAN to DSL router to Corp WAN

    Yes, it can use PPTP but IPSEC is the newer, more secure and effiecent protocol. I use both via cable, but lately IPSEC has been dropping frequently so I use PPTP and it is stable. But that is only true for me using cable. I have 100+ users that have great dialup connections with IPSEC. When...

    Nortel Extranet (VPN) over LAN to DSL router to Corp WAN

    I agree with the above info about the Domain name and other network properties. But, I am curious which protocol you are using in the Nortel VPN. I have a user, using Colorado Qwest DSL/ISP with a cisco router/modem. He can not stay connected for any lenght of time wothout getting dropped but...

    Disk Space not being reclaimed

    Thanks - I will shut down the old server after everything is moved. But the one thing that still bothers me is why the online defrag stop working. I couldn't to it manually either. But not worth wasting anymore of your time. Thanks again All!

    Disk Space not being reclaimed

    Thanks for all the feedback. Only one mailbox remains on the old server yet the file and size of the priv.edb are still 8.2GB - as before we started moving mailboxes. 8.2GB was the original size. The new server shows a priv.edb of 7.7GB. I thought that the offline defrag (eseutil /d /ispriv)...
