@wrx7m said in Office 365 User Quarantine - How Do You Access After Redesign?: @dbeato said in Office 365 User Quarantine - How Do You Access After Redesign?: @wrx7m I have not found a way to do so, you can create a folder in Outlook to manage it from there. Example here http://www.expta.com/2015/02/how-to-add-access-to-office-365-eop.html Have you done this? The link that includes admin seems like it would try to access the admin portion, not the specific user's quarantine. If this works as I need, I wonder if there is a policy to set this up, or if it would be a manual, one-by-one endeavor. I have not but I can test.

@scottalanmiller said in MailCow in Production Datacenter: Great, glad to hear that that works. I'll be testing it more once I see if it comes up at all. The first time it didn't at all, so you are two steps farther than we got Let me know if you have issues and I'll make a video for you

@JaredBusch said in Email server options: @Dashrender said in Email server options: This comparison misses taking it beyond year 5. Why take it beyond 5 years? Because if it is on premises, it will need to be upgraded again. @Dashrender said in Email server options: If you add SA to the original licenses - because you know the plan is the keep using Exchange going forward - it will raise the costs noticeably in the beginning, but come renewal time it will make it significantly less. Less enough to be under O365? not likely, hell, even the 5 year plan would be more expensive for onprem vs O365... but it might lower itself over time because of the SA difference. SA is a scam to get more money. Always has been for the SMB. With negotiated pricing for Enterprise, it is the right thing. If you're a company that only upgrades once every 10 years - then yeah... SA is a waste of money, but you're already talking about upgrading again in 5 years, so SA could very much make financial sense - show me the numbers before you poo poo it.

@zachary715 said in Does Anyone Actually Use Conversation View Intentionally for Email: All of my folders are subfolders of my Inbox, so although my Inbox itself is kept clean, I can easily search my Inbox and it searches the entirety of all subfolders. CV doesn't make this any more or less complicated. Me, too. But every system handles broken up threads like that differently.

@360col said in Why Do Email Readers Always Default to Oldest Email First: @scottalanmiller said in Why Do Email Readers Always Default to Oldest Email First: ability to search well in a large volume of emails Thunderbird does this very well. Its whats I used for my private email accounts. Me too. I don't use it day to day, but when I have a search problem, I fire it up.

@justin867 said in how to check this exchange email issue?: One user keeps on complaining that the email message she sent was not received by the intended receiver? how to check the issue? We are using exchange 2010. Message tracing in ECP.

@dbeato said in Zimbra 8.8.12 Released: @scottalanmiller said in Zimbra 8.8.12 Released: Wow, They release Open Drive and it only works up to NextCloud 13? NextCloud 16 is in RC today. What the heck? Yeah, that is weird. Behind the times. My level of impressed keeps slipping.

https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5322#section-3.6.2 Originator Fields The originator fields of a message consist of the from field, the sender field (when applicable), and optionally the reply-to field. The from field consists of the field name "From" and a comma- separated list of one or more mailbox specifications. If the from field contains more than one mailbox specification in the mailbox- list, then the sender field, containing the field name "Sender" and a single mailbox specification, MUST appear in the message. In either case, an optional reply-to field MAY also be included, which contains the field name "Reply-To" and a comma-separated list of one or more addresses. from = "From:" mailbox-list CRLF sender = "Sender:" mailbox CRLF reply-to = "Reply-To:" address-list CRLF The originator fields indicate the mailbox(es) of the source of the message. The "From:" field specifies the author(s) of the message, that is, the mailbox(es) of the person(s) or system(s) responsible for the writing of the message. The "Sender:" field specifies the mailbox of the agent responsible for the actual transmission of the message. For example, if a secretary were to send a message for another person, the mailbox of the secretary would appear in the "Sender:" field and the mailbox of the actual author would appear in the "From:" field. If the originator of the message can be indicated by a single mailbox and the author and transmitter are identical, the "Sender:" field SHOULD NOT be used. Otherwise, both fields SHOULD appear. Note: The transmitter information is always present. The absence of the "Sender:" field is sometimes mistakenly taken to mean that the agent responsible for transmission of the message has not been specified. This absence merely means that the transmitter is identical to the author and is therefore not redundantly placed into the "Sender:" field. The originator fields also provide the information required when replying to a message. When the "Reply-To:" field is present, it indicates the address(es) to which the author of the message suggests that replies be sent. In the absence of the "Reply-To:" field, replies SHOULD by default be sent to the mailbox(es) specified in the "From:" field unless otherwise specified by the person composing the reply. In all cases, the "From:" field SHOULD NOT contain any mailbox that does not belong to the author(s) of the message. See also section 3.6.3 for more information on forming the destination addresses for a reply.

I have a user here whose Emails go from whatever folder they are in to the Deleted Items folder after being read... Sometimes. Sometimes it doesn't happen for several minutes, and other times it happens right away. The user hasn't been phished that we can tell. No bogus rules in Outlook forwarding things to the deleted items. Check both Web and Outlook 2016. What am I not looking at that could be causing this? They got hacked though https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/office365security/how-to-fix-a-compromised-hacked-microsoft-office-365-account/ https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/office365/securitycompliance/responding-to-a-compromised-email-account Sometimes the rule is a dot on the name.... I am assuming it's a hacked account, but we changed the password to a new one. I disconnected all of her sessions from Office 365. Still happening. I see no rules with a dot in the name... or spaces or foreign characters. I see exactly the number of rules on my CLI as I do in Outlook and OWA. Can you clear them all ? Take a screenshot of the settings and then remove them and see what changes. The rules run autonomously and is not someone running them. That's what we've done now. All of the rules are disabled. End-user is turning them back on one at a time now.

@JaredBusch said in Resolved - Postfix on Fedora 29 - Why Can't I Send Mail?: @wrx7m said in Resolved - Postfix on Fedora 29 - Why Can't I Send Mail?: It applied to the instance (multiple servers) FFS no. That is not what anything is. It applied to the Account. Which contains multiple instances. Instances that could be servers or desktops or WTF ever. My apologies. I meant to put account.

@scottalanmiller said in Microsoft BCL or Bulk Complaint Level Values for Email: Some sources call this an SCL or Spam Complaint Level. Emails into O365 have both BCL and SCL.

@LilAng said in Copy / Paste from Excel on Mac to Outlook Web Access Creates Image Rather than Table: In Excel, use File > Save as web page, then attach the web page to your email message? Yeah, we found that process. That's a pretty huge "fail" process.

I have a script that I wrote to do this. https://gitlab.com/dafyre/powershell-utils/raw/master/export-O365Group.ps1 It gets you the person's DisplayName and their email address. If you're exporting a Distribution List, just add the -distributionlist switch. If you're exporting an Office 365 Group (Unified Group), then leave that switch out. Other parameters should be self explanatory.

@Pete-S said in “Catastrophic” hack on email provider destroys almost two decades of data: So if you make a backup to something like Backblaze. Would that be considered an offline backup? Depends how it is done. It's online, not offline. But it can be airgapped.

This happened to us while simply up and running. Middle of the day. Very odd. Weird What version? 8.8.10_GA_3716 Hmmm I just upgraded from 8.8.9 to 8.8.11 last week or two weeks ago.

@anthonyh said in Zimbra, fail2ban, CentOS 7, and firewalld: @scottalanmiller said in Zimbra, fail2ban, CentOS 7, and firewalld: https://arstech.net/zimbra-fail2ban-setup/ I came across that article and it's the most promising. Though it's still a iptables based fail2ban configuration. I'm not sure if it's as simple as changing the references to iptables or if tweaking it to work with firewalld is more involved. I suppose an option is to disable firewalld and install iptables. I've done that before in the past. Hmm... That's probably what they did, because you need to disable firewalld to enable iptables.

I used to use a barracuda 300 (for about 6 years) in conjunction with their cloud filtering for our on-prem Exchange 2010 server. I think there were 2 times that they had some sort of issue where they let a crap-ton of spam through, unfiltered. I have moved to Office 365 and am exclusively using their filtering. I think barracuda was better at filtering. Especially, when it comes to phishing messages that pretend to be from Microsoft's services. You'd think that Microsoft would be able to catch those better than anyone. Not in my experience.

@JasGot said in Exchange connectors: I need some help sorting out the exchange connectors on a server. We were called in to figure out a spam problem. It's not severe and during our exam, we are trying to check the configuration of Exchange and get mail test tools to be happy. Right now we are getting: Reverse DNS does not match SMTP Banner from mxtoolbox. This is a simple MS Exchange setup; One Exchange server on a domain, people connecting with MS outlook from inside the building on the domain and from outside the building using Ms Outlook, and two copiers that can send e-mail. The issue is all the receive connectors. It's not clear to me which one mxtoolbox is seeing. They are: Client Frontend EXCHANGE Client Proxy EXCHANGE Default EXCHANGE Default Frontend EXCHANGE Outbound Proxy Frontend EXCHANGE Scan2EMail I'd like to know what each one represents. ie; I presume Frontend mean Internet facing, but I'm not sure. Also, do internal MS Outlook users connect to a receive or send connector? (or both?) Thanks. You should change the ELHO name on all of them so it matches your external URL (Which in turn needs to match your Reverse DNS name). The Outlook clients connect to the Exchange server and Exchange sends the emails they do not connect to the connectors.

@huzefa22 said in Same subdomain name internal and external i have an issue with the DNS, specifically emails: @Dashrender when i ping mail.abc.xyz.com i don't get a reply, the SOA is the primary and the secondary domain on the local domain. i don't know if this is what you were asking. Regards, Huzefa Never test DNS with ping. Test with nslookup. Whether you can ping or not is a factor of many things, DNS just one of them and only sometimes. nslookup tests DNS and nothing else.

He only sent me a few hundred thousand, I feel ripped off.

Good to know, I use Ubuntu/Debian so I will check for that.

@travisdh1 said in SPAM Filtering with Zimbra: @dbeato I'm a fan of using their RBL list. Anyone know if that's still available for free? @travisdh1 also the server is b.barracudacentral.org

@dbeato said in Exchange / Office 365 Auto Response from Public Folder: @scottalanmiller said in Exchange / Office 365 Auto Response from Public Folder: @travisdh1 said in Exchange / Office 365 Auto Response from Public Folder: @scottalanmiller said in Exchange / Office 365 Auto Response from Public Folder: We have a public folder on Office 365 that is email enabled, the customer would like an auto-response from the public folder. I'm not sure if that is even possible. Wouldn't that be an auto-response setup from one of the accounts that receives those emails? Does that work with a public folder? Yes, with Folder Assistant through Outlook. Otherwise you can create a rule for incoming emails through Office 365 to accomplish that too. Yeah, seems... poor. Found this for doing it through Outlook, which would be unreliable and clearly not useful. https://www.codetwo.com/admins-blog/setting-public-folder-auto-reply/

@mrwright4hire said in Mail stuck in Office 365, Enterprise Exchange queue!: @dbeato said in Mail stuck in Office 365, Enterprise Exchange queue!: @mrwright4hire said in Mail stuck in Office 365, Enterprise Exchange queue!: A few users are having issues sending out emails. Not everytime, but intermittent. Has anyone experienced this type of issue before? I can use all the help I can get. I would like to know how to release the emails and avoid emails getting stuck again. In advanced, thank you for your efforts. Have any of your users been not able to send at all? I am not seeing that right now. Great question dbeato! Here's the thing, I myself tried to email the same address while monitoring it from Barracuda. Nothing showed up as going out. It's strange cause we received email from the address. So it is on the received end of Barracuda?

@pete-s said in Web hosting + (or not) email: keep separate: This is somewhat ridiculous. The entire premise of Microsoft's offering is vendor lock-in. Of course you are hostage to Microsoft. Of course they will keep integrating their services until it's impossible for you to change providers. And when they raise their prices you will pay. It doesn't make sense to fool yourself into thinking something else. If you want separate discrete services you have to stop using O365 because it's already a bundle of services - even without email. Unless you only want email from them, then it's not too locked in. Just not very good.

@dustinb3403 said in How Do You Stop Office 365 Low Severity Alert Emails: As a general thought on this, automatic mail forwarding could be a compliance issue, so make sure to keep this in mind before you go turning off alerts that might be a compliance issue later on. . . Automatic mail forwarding is a "every few hours" task. So these alerts are a ridiculous amount of crying wolf. It's created a "zero belief" system in MS alerts. At this point, there are no alerts, just spam, is how it is seen.

Most is there, for sure. But definitely not "all". Confirm. I got always this end result. This is just best effort. Not complete at all. That's just crappy, especially as Microsoft themselves recommend it.
