    Exchange 2003 / iPhone intergration

    I have never tried it but as far as I know it should work, the iPhone uses SSL by default, it can be turned off but you would need a FQDN in the mail server setting, Our Mail systems use Blackberry, iPhone and mail enabled phones, I find the iPhone much easier to set up, it just takes a bit of...

    POP Spam problem

    changing over 150 remote clients is a big job for field technicians, some customers would need an on-site callout, some could be done remotely, all would require their PST to be migrated to the new profile, realistically you are looking at 4 weeks FrankF A+,Network+,MCSA

    I have an IPhone 3G running 3.0 software and it works fine with Exchange 2003, I use the same HTTPS address as our OWA users, I did not have to change anything on the server, if you have a 3G data connection it will synch both mail and calendar, you can also use any available WIFI to connect...

    POP Spam problem

    while all our domain users use SMTP mail, a number of external stand alone mail users use pop to connect to our Exchange 2K3 box, Outlook is set to both send and receive to an address that I setup; pop.<ourdomain> with a DNS pointing at one of our public IP's and a port forwarding rule at the...

    blank screen half way through boot

    I would look at the RAM, with faulty memory XP will sometimes boot right up to were it has to display graphics before freezing, if you cannot run a diagnostics boot CD try re-seating and then removing one stick at a time, FrankF A+,Network+,MCSA

    Exchange &amp; Sophos PureMessage

    We use Sophos AV on our network and for some years we also used PureMessage on the Exchange servers, I found PM a bit flaky and needing constant attention, the IMF never worked for me, I switched to an external filtering service which had the effect of freeing up bandwidth, we dont have to...
