Exchange Server's Tarpit Time Key

As you may know, Exchange 2003 can be configured to block emails sent to recipients that do not exist, blocking the e-mail message at the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) level. As a result, a sender can enumerate e-mail addresses that do exist by using a technique that is known as a directory harvest attack.  

Mail-Enable Exchange Public Folders

The Exchange administrator can mail-enable public folders. You can then use it as a generic company address (such as sales@ or help@ ). If you mail-enable a Calendar folder, users can include it in meeting requests. Once the folder is mail-enabled, you can use the Folder Assistant to forward messages it receives to other addresses.  

Event Sink or Sync?

I frequently get emails from visitors who think they found a spelling error on the website. Yes, there are some, unfortunately "sink" is not one. You might want to consider a spelling correction. The word "sink" is used repeatedly throughout the article, which most commonly refers to a place where you wash dishes. I believe  

How to Manage Signatures using Group Policy

Signatures are stored in the roaming section of the windows profile. You can push signature updates into the folder using a Windows Scripting Host (WSH) script.

Using Exchange Server's Sender ID

Exchange 2003 SP2 adds a couple of new features. One of the most talked about is Sender ID.

There are two ways to give other users the ability to "send as" another user, mailbox, or public folder address when you use Microsoft Exchange server. The first is using the Delegates feature on the Tools, Options menu. This is configurable in Microsoft Outlook by any user and adds "on behalf of" to the From  

Securing Outlook and your Exchange Mailbox

When you use Outlook with an Exchange mailbox in classic (non-cached) mode, your mailbox is safe from prying eyes except under these conditions: They know your password. You have Outlook set to automatically log in using Windows credentials. In this case, anyone using your computer can open Outlook and access all contents of your mailbox  

Error: Cannot Add to the Server Junk E-mail Lists

Exchange 2007 & Outlook 2007 error: Cannot add to the server Junk E-mail Lists, you are over the size allowed on the server. The Junk E-mail Filter on the server will be disabled until your Junk E-mail Lists have been reduced to the size allowed on the server.

Prevent users from adding email accounts to Outlook

Administrators can prevent users from adding personal email accounts to Outlook by setting a registry key. This can be pushed out using a logon script or group policy. It can also be disabled when creating an install package using the Office customization tool (OCT). These keys apply only to new accounts; if the user already  

Assigning Exchange Administrator Roles

Just as Microsoft introduced roles for Exchange 2007 installations, they also introduced specific roles for Exchange 2007 Administration. Assigning one of these roles replaces the Exchange Delegation Wizard from Exchange 2000/2003 and their three predefined levels of Exchange Full Administrator, Exchange Administrator and Exchange View-Only Administrator: Exchange Organization Administrators Exchange Recipient Administrators Exchange View-Only Administrators
