Second question ignored for now, first is too important.

Repeat, you are an open relay. You need to research how to properly set up
Exchange so as not to be an open relay. This is a frequently asked question
and there is plenty of information both in the archives and in articles at
msexchange.org.

Hi

I just joined the group today and I have two questions.

 

1) we do not use a SMTP virtual server.  the server just sends emails out by
dns.  The problem I am finding is when I look at SMTP queues, we have about
150 connections and climbing and they are all bad connections because the
domains do not exist and the server slows down.

For now the solution I have done is told the exchange server to try to send
the email and if it can not send it to try just for 2 hours instead of 2
days (even though I had queues that was over 3 days and still trying)  Is
there a better way of doing this.  Like check the dns and if it fails don't
even do a retry?  I know you can do this on receiving emails.

 

2) this is a windows 2003 server question (I know this is exchange but I was
hoping someone has run into this).  I am running a generic login script that
all it does is map drives.  The drives all work for everyone and I get NO
errors when people log in but instead of the users getting the name of the
share, the share name says "disconnected network drive"  Even though the
drive is not disconnect and works great.  How can I fix this name???

 

 

Thanks

Dale
