451 4.4.0 DNS query failed - Exchange 2010 (not 2013)

$

We have Exchange 2010 Version: 14.03.0294.000 running on Server 2008 R2.  Domain controllers are Server 2008 R2. 

There are about 10 domain names that we get  451 4.4.0 DNS query failed.  We send thousands of emails daily to many domains that go through fine.  It started out with about four domain names, but now up to about 10.  DNS, forwarders, blacklists, etc., have all been verified and should not be a factor.  I even contacted IT at a couple of these domains and they said we are not blocked in any way.

Using NSLOOKUP, when I set type=mx these domains will time out.  If I use change to Server 8.8.8.8 then try again, I see the MX info.  We recently upgraded our AV for F-Secure to Server Security 12.  I stopped all F-Secure services on the Exchange server but still cannot get beyond DNS query failed for these domains.  So I have ruled out the AV.

Servers have been rebooted, cache cleared, etc.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

STOREDRIVER and DEFAULT FRONTEND receive conector after role split

$
0
0

Hi,

You know that if the CAS and MBX servers are collocated on the same server the SMTP Receive connection for the Transport service will listen on 2525 instead of 25, well, because of a requirement, I separated this roles on two servers, so I needed now, that the "DEFAULT FRONTEND Servername" that listened on 2525 to listen on 25, So I changed it (remember, CAS is not present anymore on this server), but mail is stuck on draft folders and if I see logs:

Error encountered while communicating with primary target IP address: "421 4.2.1 Unable to connect." Attempted
failover to alternate host, but that did not succeed. Either there are no alternate hosts, or delivery failed to all alternate hosts. The last endpoint attempted was 10.2.x.x:2525]}

StoreDriver still wants to send email to 2525 instead of the updated 25 of the receive connector.

I restarted Mail Submission, Information Store, and Transport Services with no luck.

Where is Exchange reading this "old" config?

Many thanks

Mailflow from Site A to Site B

$

Hi All,

to simplify my question/problem I have AD-site A and Site B, both have one Exchange 2013 Server CAS;MX.

On each server I have a signature/disclaimer software runing (Transport-Agent) with an individual config disclaimer config. My problem is that an e-mail from Server A to an user on Server B passby the "local" transport-agent von Server A, cause the Mailbox Transport Server from Server A connects directly to the transport service on Server B. Due to that, the mail didn't get the disclaimer attached which is configured on Server A.

Can I change the config on Server A, so that he will route the mail over his own "Transport Service" first?

Thanks a lot.

Support for TLS 1.2 over Exchange 2013 on Server 2012?

$
0

Greetings,

We're trying to roll out TLS 1.2 in our test environment and can't seem to get Exchange to work with the protocol.

We've been using this method to enable TLS 1.2 (and disable the other protocols - TLS1.0, SSL2.0, SSL3.0, PCT1.0): http://www.adminhorror.com/2011/10/enable-tls-11-and-tls-12-on-windows_1853.html

We originally tried using Exchange 2010 on 2008 R2, but then I ran across this article saying that it is not supported: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2709167/en-us

We've since tried to set it up with Exchange 2013 on Server 2012. Still no luck. The only time Exchange wants to work is when TLS1.0 is enabled.

I suspect that TLS1.1 and TLS 1.2 are also not supported on Exchange 2013, or that I'm changing the wrong registry keys, but I wanted to find confirmation. I've searched extensively and can't find any documentation leading me to believe one way or the other if it's supported.

Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Mail from relay connector doesn't go through the transport rules

$
0
0

We have a situation that we have to add a header field to every outgoing email to the internet.

(The server is Exchange 2010, latest build, fully patched)

We have created a Transport Rule and now every email is modified, this works with email send from Outlook.

We also have application servers that use the Exchange server as an external relay host, and send their emails to an unauthenticated receive connector. Now we see that every email that is send from the application server doesn't have the extra line in the header when it arrives at the recipient.

The strange thing is that if we create a telnet session through cmd from the application server to the receive connector, and send a email message through the console, the header line has been added. The supplier of the application says that the application created a normal SMTP session with nothing fancy.

We have tested 2 different receive connectors, one with anonymous enabled and one with the option "Externaly secured" doesn't work either.

We have checked all transport predicates, and all requirements are met. Like the email that is being used by the application server (user that uses the app) is a MUE, MBX or a PF.

We have enabled Pipelinetracing and see that the emails from the applicationservers doesn't even apply a very very basic test transport rule.

Does anyone have a clue what could be wrong?

Application Whitelisting - how practical is it?

$
0
0

I'm consulting to a company who has had a security audit done so as to meet compliance requirements for a Govt. contract. One of the mandatory requirements for security against cyber intrusion, is the use of application whitelisting 'on all systems  able to receive emails or browse web content originating in a different security domain'. So, 'all systems' is not only servers, but all the desktop units (and probably iOS/Android).

I notice this company already uses an enterprise anti-virus solution, and the company which provides that does have a Whitelisting application which appears to have a good rap in the marketplace.

But the question is, how practical is application whitelisting to deploy and maintain? I suspect that IT Services are going to push back on the requirement, because from what I gather, maintaining the whitelist is a maintenance headache and a source of frustration for both users and IT support. So I'm trying to get a feeling for whether the client can get away with not observing this 'mandatory requirement'.

Exchange Set Valid/Business Emailing Times?

$
0
0

Is there a way to set times for Exchange to release emails?

I hope I am asking the correct question, normally I would have people set delivery times but that doesn't work for the mail app or anyone using a phone. My small company wants to basically not allow or let anyone email anyone using the company email after 5pm until 7am the next morning.

Setting business hours as 7am to 5pm and not letting anyone email outside of that time frame. I have already dug all over exchange and do not see any kind of functionality to do that. 

Anyone have any thoughts?


Is It Possible to Find Who Deleted an Email

$

Hi,

We had an incident which happened two weeks ago, where some emails of a user got deleted, we troubleshooted the issue and suspected that his email was compromised and also found that someone created a rule forwarding emails to a suspicious account.

Is there a way to know from which Client and which IP address the emails were deleted? And is there a way to know when and from where the rule was created.

Thanks

Junk email issues on one user - Exchange 2013

$

Good day,

I am currently experiencing an issue with one user, if I set the person's mail to not filter junk mail it changes the settings back automatically to filter Junk mail. Even if I do so in powershell it does not work... I can set any other user to not filter junk mail, but this specific account refuses...

What can I do to rectify this issue?



SMTP Relay Configuration on Default Receive Connector

$

I want to setup smtp relay in exchange 2013. Default receive connector is having AnonymousUsers permission. Can I use this connector for smtp relay for multiple applications and printers to send emails? or do I need to create a new connector? This connector is already being used for this purpose however some applications and all printers are not able to submit the message. I see below error message on receive connector. This connector is also receiving external emails from Edge server.<o:p></o:p>

Inbound authentication failed because the client DOMAIN\USERID doesn't have submit permission.
User Name: NULL
Tarpit for '0.00:00:05' due to '535 5.7.3 Authentication unsuccessful
535 5.7.3 Authentication unsuccessful<o:p></o:p>

I checked receive connector is having Ms-Exch-SMTP-Accept-Any-Recipient, Ms-Exch-SMTP-Submit and ms-Exch-SMTP-Accept-Any-Sender for user "NT AUTHORITY\ANONYMOUS LOGON".<o:p></o:p>

 

Receive connector settings are as below:<o:p></o:p>

AuthMechanism                           : Tls, Integrated, BasicAuth, BasicAuthRequireTLS, ExchangeServer
Bindings                                : {[::]:25, 0.0.0.0:25}
Fqdn                                    : Server1.domain.com
PermissionGroups                        : AnonymousUsers, ExchangeServers, ExchangeLegacyServers, Custom
RemoteIPRanges                          : {::-ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff, 0.0.0.0-255.255.255.255}
TransportRole                           : FrontendTransport<o:p></o:p>

 

In testing environment I enabled Authentication method as “Externally Secured” and Permission Group as “Anonymous Users” and it started working. I assume it is failing because of AuthMechanism defined for the connector as failed applications/printers are not able to understand the authentication method. How do I achieve this on single receive connector which is already there in place? Any help is much appreciated. Thanks.<o:p></o:p>

Copy sent items of user mailbox to shared mailbox

$

Hello everyone,

I'm currently testing a mail scenario with Exchange Online Plan 1. The general idea is having 1 info@ address as a shared mailbox and about 5 user@ addresses with accounts.

All incoming mails should go into the inbox of the shared mailbox (that works, no problem), but also all outgoing mails should be placed in the sent items of the shared mailbox. Internal work flow requires that behaviour. 

Since 2013 it seems possible to adjust the settings of the server to actually copy the sent item of a shared mailbox address to the sent items folder of the shared mailbox without registry hack - that sounds good (haven't testet it yet). 

Now I have two questions:

  1. Does this also work with Exchange Online Plan 1 (since I don't have a power shell there...) ?
  2. How can I also copy the sent items of the user@ addresses to the shared mailbox sent items folder?

I tried using the local outlook rules, but those seem to be stuck within one mailbox. I can't actually copy a sent item from the personal mailbox to the shared mailbox using a rule...doing it manually works though. 

Any help would be appreciated!


Exchange 2013 "IP-AllowListEntry" not working

$

Hello,

we are using "Spamhaus ZEN" RBL for our Exchange.
There are a few IP-Adresses that I want to whitelist, this should work with "Add-IPAllowListEntry -IPAddress x.x.x.x"
The Command works successfully and returns the results with "Get-IPAllowListEntry"
Settings for IPAllowListConfig are "-Enabled True" and "-ExternalMail Enabled True"

My problem is that mails are being blocked even if they are on the whitelist.
Can someone tell me why that is happening?
I tried to restart TransportService and even whole Exchange server without success.

Delivery report shows status of Pending for external address. Email sent to both internal and external addresses.

$
0
0

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.

Notify Sender With **Message** Without Blocking email (Allow Message) - Transport Rules\DLP

We would like to send an email message (Notify email) to an internal user who is sending a message that contains certain verbiage in the body. I understand how to create transport rules and filter on the criteria but I can't find a way to send a message to the "sender" on a rule hit. Has anybody done this? Can it be done? Even if obscure or using third party utilities? Please don't suggest Mail Tips, it's not what I'm looking to do. As always, thank for the help...

Troubleshooting Antispam Agents -- Doesn't Appear to be Working/Active

$
0

In searching the Internet, I find a lot on how to install and configure the anti-spam agents for Exchange Server 2013, but nothing on troubleshooting if they don't appear to be working. I assume this means they generally just work.

As far as I can tell, they stopped working and aren't doing anything. At least, the log files stopped updating we've had a spike in spam. I confess I'm not sure how else to tell for sure if they're doing anything.

The last file modified date in C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V15\TransportRoles\Logs\FrontEnd\AgentLog is 2 weeks old.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled the antispam agents. I have confirmed they are enabled with a value of TRUE. I have restarted the service and the entire server.

We do not have an Edge server, just the CAS/Mailbox server. It is in a DAG with another server, really just for faster manual failover protection, not at all for load balancing as all external traffic is directed to a single server. Also, I have taken the steps to add the connection filter to the server per http://anewmessagehasarrived.blogspot.com/2013/05/rbl-and-exchange-2013.html, which had been working well until that same date about 2 weeks ago, as seen in the logs.

What are the ways to troubleshoot this when it appears everything is running?

Setting up a mail buffer

$

Hi All,

I would like to know if it's possible to setup a kind of buffer for outbound mails.
We would like to be able to have a copy of the mails and, if needed, we can resend the e-mails.

I've looked into the following options, but it seems they're not what we're looking for:

- Catch All mailbox: get's a copy, but resending e-mails as the Catch-All mailboxuser, not the original sender
- Journalling: same as the above.

Are there any other options?

Thanks in advance.

Kind regards,

Matthijs
