We recently install exchange 2003 and started to host our email internally. Previous to that we had our ISP host our email domain. We are finding that a few domains out there are blocking our emails. Examples: xxx@att.net on 4/22/2008 8:48 AM There was a SMTP communication problem with the...

Hello everyone. Total newbie with VBS. Everyone is using Outlook 2003 with Exchange 2003 server. Once a year I would like to archive the emails to PST files and copy them to a server. There is a auto archive feature but I like to take this out of the users hand as much as possible. On a...
