Many delayed messages since switching to Exchange 2013

October 3, 2014, 7:18 am

We have been experiencing a lot of delays when switching to Exchange 2013. We currently use SpamHero as our spam filter. The flow is like this:

  • Messages sent to Spam Hero
  • Spam Hero sends to us which goes through our Cisco ASA 5540 firewalls
  • Hits our CAS01 server which is just CAS and HUB roles
  • Then goes to the mailbox server

We experience sometimes days worth of delayed messages and the delivery logs on our spam filter show this:

  • status=deferred (conversation with outlook.domain.com[**********] timed out while sending message body)
  • said: 451 4.7.0 Timeout waiting for client input (in reply to end of DATA command))

I seem to see it more with larger messages.

Ramifications of assigning a wildcard certificate to the SMTP service (needed for Exchange 2010 Hybrid Configuration - Office 365)

Hello All:

My question is "what are the ramifications of assigning a wildcard certificate to the SMTP service on a customer's Exchange 2010 CAS"? I would like to know of the impact that existing OWA, Outlook 2010, and ActiveSync clients will see, if anything. I am having issues getting the Manage Hybrid Configuration to work & upon re-reading the Exchange Server Deployment Assistant, I see the following: "

You should see the certificate you installed listed in the list of Exchange certificates returned by theGet-ExchangeCertificate cmdlet, including the parameter attributes assigned to each certificate. Verify that the certificate from the third-party trusted certificate authority (CA) that you will use for the hybrid deployment has:

  • The Service attribute has the IIS and SMTP services assigned.

  • The Status attribute is listed as “Valid”.

  • The RootCAType attribute is listed as “ThirdParty”.

If any of the three conditions listed above are not met, you can't use the certificate with the Manage Hybrid Configuration wizard or with the hybrid deployment."

I have a case/Service Request open w/Microsoft re:this (614100390603301). If anyone is able to provide clarification, it would be most helpful.

Thank you.

Message tracking

I have had several instances since I installed exchange 2013 about messages not being received. In 2007 they had the message tracking GUI that I could follow a message flow from my Barracuda to the inbox of my user. Now I think I need to use

get-messagetrackinglog -Sender <addess> -MessageSubject “whateveritis” -Start “6/07/2014” -End “10/03/2014”

This command brings me back: "Event ID - Source - Sender - Recipient - MessageSubject"

I'm looking for the time sent and received  or just received - I can't seem to put together a cmdlet that will accomplish this with the time. TimeStamp or -timestamp errors in the shell - how are other people with very little shell experience tracking messages.

Any help would be appreciated

Dear all,

Am stuck, with the incoming external emails from one of the email servers in my domain that I have just deployed on one of the child domains,

I am able to send and receive emails between the exchange servers, and am also able to send emails to external domains like Gmail. but when I send from Gmail, the mails are reporting in the Edge Transport logs but not coming to the hub transport server. the funny thing is that when I create the receive  connector the same time I can am able to send but when I send a send one it never come in the inbox.

I not very sure where the email are getting stuck coz there is no error coming in my gmail account to tell the problem.

Your Usual support is greatly appreciated

Too much SPAM!

We have Exchange 2013 SP1 CU6 on 2 servers, 1 Mailbox/hub, and 1 Edge Transport. Recently the level of SPAM that's getting through the edge has gone through the room. Where I used to get 2 or 3 a day, now I'm getting around 40. I've checked the logs and the SPAM filters seem to be blocking junk, also the RBL's are blocking a ton of mail, yet some messages that are obvious junk are still getting through with a 2 or below SCL. We have not enabled whitelisting, and the filters are up to date. Any suggestions?

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

October 6, 2014, 4:22 am

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.

hi all,

i have installed exchange and all is working ie i can connect to OWA externally and EAS on my mobile but i cant send/recieve email

i have made a MX record that points to my domain name and the domain points to my public IP (no-ip)

on my firewall (pfsense) i have NATed port SMTP/587 and HTTPS/443 to my exchange IP

i have created a send connector for the internet and entered * to accept all domains and added my exchange server as the mailbox server and my receive connector that was already configured

to change my send connectors port i did this -

http://www.authsmtp.co.uk/exchange-2013/exchange2013_alternative_port.html

i changed it to port 587 and i ran the get command and it is now using that new port

can anyone think why its not working?

many thanks

Before you ask, I am still on SP1/CU4 because CU5 and CU6 are so buggy I refuse to install them. And that's probably not the fix anyway... WHEN IS CU7 coming out?

Exchange 2013 Can't send emails to Exchange 2010, but can receive and send/receive externally.

I have installed exchange 2013 on an environment running exchange 2010, and I have migrated several mainlboxes to exchange 2013.

 I can telnet into both exchange servers from the other and run commands. 

Problem: I cannot send email from exchange 2013 to exchange 2010.

Additionally:

- I can send/receive email between external (gmail) and exchange 2013.

- I can send from exchange 2010 to (exchange 2013 and external (gmail)), but I cannot get any email to exchange 2010.

- Initially, I was not able to even send email from 2010 to 2013, but adding the servername of exchange 2013 into the host file of 2010 resolved the issue. So, I also added 2010's servername into 2013's host file, thinking this would resolve the issue of not getting emails to 2010 but it did not resolve the issue. 

When I look in 2013's Message Queue Viewer I can see my emails to exchange 2010 with the retry status:

It seems like an issue with the exchange 2010 receive connectors, but I am certain I didnt make any changes to the receive connectors on exchange 2010.

Any assistance would be greatly received.

I've created a DLP policy to block SSN's.  The problem is it only looks for the word "SSN".  The rule in the DLP is looking for SSN's.  It blocks the email if I have the letters "SSN" in it with a fake social, but if I remove the letters "SSN" it allows it to send.  Is there a way to tune how it reads sensitive info?

blind copy transport rule

I want to set up a transport rule that blind copies all internal emails for all users to an external mail system. The email address for the external system is based on the AD samaccountname for each user.

So if the user has mail address   forename.surname@example.com   and their AD account is   fred

Then I want a BCC sent to       fred@external.example.com

I know I can create individual rules for each user but I figure there must be an easier way.

Messages will not leave draft folder

October 7, 2014, 5:55 pm

So i know this is a common issues usually caused by DNS errors that exchange has and I've been through a ton of different articles on the internet including the tech-net forums.

so basically what i've done is set up two physical servers. both running evaluations of server 2012 R2. the first one is the domain controller running DNS and DHCP and a file share.

The second one is going to run an exchange server and maybe something else if i can ever get this to work right.

I've installed exchange 2013 (this was the biggest learning experience I've ever had and i don't believe I've ever had this many issue with anything else ever.) and set up the send connector, the cert, the domain settings, the DNS ip address.

Then I added all the relevant pointers into my DNS server. I had thought this would have resolved the issue but at the time i never thought i had to do anything except set up an A record on the DNS controlled by go-daddy which i purchased my domain though.

I then went to go daddy and input a new host which is the name of my DNS server and then the IP address. waited 48 hours and attempted to configure a name server on the go daddy forums and was told it can't reach my domain.

When i do an NSLOOKUP on battleline.co which is my domain it says domain unreachable and returns 8.8.8.8 which is google public DNS. 

When i do a NSLOOPUP on my IP address though it does return my domain.

So i guess my question is does anyone know how to properly set up MY DNS server so godaddy can reach me when i put in my DNS server information or if this is a godaddy problem and i'm out of luck?

FYI i'm setting this up as a lab and i'm only planning on having 5-6 users running for a month or less and this is all for my personal benefit and education. I'm doing it out of my home.

If any other information is needed to assist please let me know.

Edit: i've never made a post on tech-net before so if i'm in the wrong section and a mod see's this feel free to move it!

Accepted Domain & Email Policy not replicating to New Mailbox creation

Hello,

I have a home domain that has been deployed for some time now. I want to take my domain host email on Godaddy and move it to my new home exchange 2013 server. However before I can get to the migration from Godaddy I have run into the following issue and I hope someone can give me some guidance.

I have installed Exchange 2013 and configured it to see my personal domain of xxx-yyy.us as an accepted domain that is authoritative as well I have updated the email address policies to see the format as @xxx-yyy.us.

When I then go to recipients and attempt to add a new mailbox my only domain option is the home domain and not xxx-yyy.us.

I have followed This technet article and reviewed over and over and I am positive I have all the settings correct but I am unable to get the domain to show. How can I add mailboxes for my email domain if all I see if the local domain.
