OK ignore my last emails.
After looking at at the articles on msexchnage.org I noticed we ARE
using SMTP virtual server.
I thought we were not and went straight by DNS, my bad.
Now that is figured out I still do not know what to do about emails
tiring to be sent out of our exchange server that have bad domains and
lock up the system for a period of time and can slow our server down.
So I guess I am still tiring to figure that out!!!
 
Thanks
Dale

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
