AsyncOS with mail flow central

Hi gUrus,
What version of Asyncos that has a mail flow central.
any idea?
regards,
capt winters

With version 6 you can do on-box tracking and reporting. You can also use a M-machine to do centralized tracking and reporting. With other versions (4/5) you can allready use the windows mail flow central.

Mail Flow Central questions

I was wondering if anyone can give me the official stance on if MFC is still supported or not. An IronPort engineer that I've been working with tells me that it's not supported anymore, but I just went through IronPort training for the C-series and the instructor tells me that it is supported through next year or so. When I check the knowledge base I see references to check the product page for information about MFC, but nothing is listed. I can't seem to find any documentation or software downloads.

Here is info from the Support Portal.
Click on "Announcements & Policies" on the left panel, then "IronPort Systems Product Discontinuance Policy" at the top of the page.
At the bottom, it mentions this:
+++
Software Support
IronPort AsyncOS and Mail Flow Central software releases are supported for up to eighteen (18) months from the First Customer Shipment Date (FCS), or two (2) subsequent major releases of such software, whichever occurs first. At such time, the software reaches EOL. Major releases of the software are designated as an increment in the first number in a release designation (i.e. 4.y.z to 5.y.z).
At EOL, Engineering, Customer Support and the IronPort Threat Operations Center no longer provide support for the software release. Thus, update releases (e.g. service, maintenance, and patches) are no longer created for the software release and "signatures," "rules," or similar data services may not be compatible with discontinued versions of the software. To receive software support and updates, customers are required to upgrade to a supported version of the software.

Then, if you click on "IronPort AsyncOS for Email" at the very bottom. It mentions this at the very bottom:

Running Mail Flow Central without direct connection?

Do we have a possibility to run Mail Flow Central (Version 1.4.0 (103)) without direct connection to the devices?
I mean: We have a local copy of (all) the logfiles, but we cannot connect directly from our local installation of MFC to the devices.
How can we "import" this logfiles on our local installation of MFC?

Thank you.
I found the directory:
MailFlowCentral\Mail Flow Central\mailFC\mgaLogs\incomingI tried the following steps:
a) I copy some files from the offline-log-directory "mail_logs" looking like [email protected]
b) I stopped and started the service "Mail Flow Central"
-> No luck: There is currently no data in the Mail Flow Central database.
c) I renamed the above files to [email protected] and repeated b).
-> No luck: There is currently no data in the Mail Flow Central database.
d) I moved the above files to the manually created \1\ and repeated b).
-> No luck: There is currently no data in the Mail Flow Central database.
e) I renamed back the above files to [email protected] still in \1\ and repeated b).
-> No luck: There is currently no data in the Mail Flow Central database.
Could you please have a look what I need else for my installed MFC-version 1.4.0-103?
In the meantime, I have added a "dummy-host" with the IP "localhost" and the logname "mail*".
Seconds after I put some of the above files (with or without the extension .001.r) the files are processed and moved to MailFlowCentral\Mail Flow Central\mailFC\mgaLogs\archive\1
Unfortunately, the results remain the same: There is currently no data in the Mail Flow Central database.
But in the host-section I found this error:Mon, 21 Apr 2008 18:10:54 +0100 Failed Unsuccessful import. Error while importing file. Import failed, an error occurred with the downloaded log file: '[Errno 13] Permission denied: '.\\mgaLogs\\incoming\\1\\[email protected]''
What kind of permission should I set (I'm trying it actually on my WinXP without any permission set on this MFC-Directories..)

Upgrade Mail Flow Central V1.3 to V1.4

How do I upgrade mail flow central v1.3 to v1.4?

MFC 1.4 is only useful for customers who are experiencing capacity issues with 1.3.
There are no new features or reports. MFC 1.4 takes advantage of some changes to the underlying MFC infrastructure components to scale to a greater number of messages per day. If you are not having capacity issues, upgrading to MFC 1.4 provides no value.

Cisco IronPort Mail Flow Central

Hello,
We are currently in the process of trying to migrate Mail Flow Central from a windows server 2003 VM to a windows server 2008 VM. I have a few questions regarding this migration. Is their any sort of guide that I can follow? Also, what is the latest software download link for MFC? I already have the database installed (for previous version), but in the install it wants me to reinstall it again? If you can provide help files to ease this migration that would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Alex

Stephan is correct - MFC support ended Jul 2011. There may be an external customer that is willing to answer and provide any pointers for your migration. We, as Cisco, do not have any guides or best practices available for MFC. It would be all customer side work and migration supportability only.

Mail Flow Central - Slowness and database issues

Hello,
My MFC database is about 220 gig, keeping 45 days of data. It is running on a large system (Quad XEON Processor HP ML 570, with 6 Spindals for the data drive) and it still gets so busy it shuts down MySql.
Support keeps telling me to index the tables, but they are indexed, and I keep getting errors.
Is anyone else having issues?
Anybody with a database this size or larger?
Thanks,
Mike

From our experience the performance issues with MFC are around the purge process.
Our ugly work around was to set the purge date to 3 months our and to start over with a clean database every 2 months or so. Effective the purge never happens, we wipe and recreate. Like I said it is an ugly kludge. Eight weeks of data ends up being about a 512GB size database in our environment.
Long-term I think MFC has to go to a rolling partitioned table solution, based on date. So then the purge process can be done more efficiently at the partition level.

Mail flow central 1.4

All,
how should we get to a supported customers for downloading 1.4 mfc ???
your help will be appreciated

If you already have MFC 1.3 just write an email to support and ask for the new version. They should give you a download option.
Cheers,
Mark

Is Mail Flow Center running under Windows 2008 ?

Is the Ironport MFC working with MS Windows Server 2008 ?
I have to order a new server for our MFC - in our company Windows 2003 is not longer supported.
Thanks !

Wow, no longer supporting Server 2003? Your organization moves fast compared to mine.
On your topic, I wanted to hear what the official answer is on this so wanted to post a reply. I've been told that IronPort is trying to discontinue support for Mail Flow Central. I always liked it but have since moved over to a M-series box. The one thing that the M-series box can't do that Mail Flow Central could is provide a daily e-mailed report based on IP. I used that daily with Mail Flow Central. Now I have to generate the report manually and export the data, still works but takes me 20 seconds every day.
Long live the nation!

Mail flow - download where?

Hi gurus, i know that this is already eol..correct me if im wrong..but i have my c10 with a problem on mailflow. im going to reinstall it using version 1.4.
any idea where i can download it? or any tips maybe.
thank you.
kira

HI Kira,
To me it's not clear what your question is. Please make it some more clear.
If I understand you right you have an old C10 with a problem in it's mail flow.
Or.... are you trying to re-use a C10 for Mail Flow Central (MFC)? And are you seeking the MFC software? If this last is the case, to things:
1) You loose your warranty and support on the C10 if you install an other OS on it. (Besides the fact that Ironport appliances do not have a video card installed, which is needed for most OS installations).
2) You can get your MFC software via your sales contact.
If I totally misunderstood you, please clarify your question.
Best Regards,
Steven

Establish mail flow from Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2013

I am currently using Exchange 2007 into three sites in three cities and two of the sites are connected to Internet sending and receiving emails via Edge transport servers.
Now I am planning to upgrade to exchange 2013 CU1. I don't find any documentation on how to establish mail flow between Exchange 2007 and Exchange 2013. Will it be automatic or do i need to create specific connectors between them?

Was this question answered. We're in the same situation now as we're upgrading to Exchange 2013 from 2007. The latest CU certainly helped. Initially the test mailboxes on Exchange 2013 couldn't email each other - This was resolved with CU7 and
using "Custom Settings" - manually entered IPs for DNS in the Exchange Admin Center "DNS Lookups".
Issue at the moment Test mailboxes on Exchange 2013 cannot email mailboxes on 2007 or visa-versa and mail from external sources queues on the 2007 box.
Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

Iphone mail app regularly requires restart to get mail flowing???

Anyone seeing this issue? Advice re how to fix?
My iphone mail app regularly requires restart to get mail flowing. That is it is running (doesn't crash) but will at time just stop getting email updates. I then have to force close the mail app (i.e. kill it) and then restart it. After restarting it the mail flows again.
Notes:
a) I do connect to Gmail for my mail - I'm using the IMAP facility for gmail currently (i.e. not the "Exchange" method)
b) I do also have the Google "Gmail" app running on my device too
c) on iPhone 3GS, latest version of IOS

I have this same problem too. I have both a hotmail and work Microsoft Exchange account setup on my iPhone and have intermitent issues with both. Sometimes the hotmail push works, but my work email doesn't push, other times it's backwards, and sometimes neither work. I can't figure it out. Usually restarting the app (closing out of the multitasking bar), and/or going into settings and disabling the affected mail account works. And to top it, I have an iPad, I'll hear the mail chime go off on my iPad, expecting it to go off on my phone....and it never does, not until I manually fetch it.
Very frustrating.

Problems with mail after every shutdown

I posted a few days ago when mail kept crashing following the security update (probably due to me not closing all applications before installing).
I managed to get mail working again by resetting the junk mail filter.
However, since then I have had problems with mail every time I restart my computer. Every morning, it mail crashes when I open it. I have fixed it a few times by quickly deleting select messages from my inbox before it crashes, but today I can't even do that. Resetting junk mail filter doesn't seem to work now. It's weird because once I get mail open I can close/open with no problem. I only have problems again after I have shutdown the computer.
I verified the start up disk and permissions - there were no problems there - and I also checked for corrupted fonts (I have been reading all the suggestions posted on this site to people having similar problems).
The console log reads:
Jun 1 09:40:34 su-pwbk crashdump[218]: Mail crashed

As I said in the other thread, in your case Mail was crashing because of a problem with Address Book, so it should be no surprise that resetting the junk filter didn’t really fix the problem. It would have been more appropriate to post back there instead of starting a new thread...
If Address Book itself works fine, the problem is probably the Previous Recipients list that Mail stores in the Address Book database. If you can do this without Mail crashing, in Mail open Window > Previous Recipients and remove all the entries from there.
If that doesn’t work, you’ll have to re-create the entire Address Book database:
1. If you have a .Mac account and .Mac synchronization of Address Book data is enabled either in Address Book > Preferences > General or in System Preferences > .Mac, disable it before proceeding.
2. You may also need to reset the entire sync history (iSync > Preferences > Reset Sync History) to avoid synchronization issues if you use .Mac or iSync to synchronize your Address Book with other computers or devices.
3. Open Address Book.
4. As an extra safety measure, do File > Back up Address Book and save the backup wherever you wish.
5. Go to Address Book > Preferences > vCard, set the vCard Format to 3.0 and check Export notes in vCards. Close the Preferences window when done.
6. Select the All group in the main Address Book window and do File > Export Group vCard (the command should read “Export Group vCard”, not just “Export vCard”).
7. Quit Address Book, Mail, and any other applications that might use Address Book for something. Or just quit all applications to be on the safe side.
8. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Application Support/ and move the entire AddressBook folder out of there, e.g. to the Desktop (to be deleted after fixing the problem and making sure you don’t miss anything).
9. Check whether the problem is fixed now. If it is, you may be able to restore your contacts without the problem happening again by opening Address Book and doing File > Import > vCards to import the previously exported cards back into Address Book.
10. If the problem has been fixed and .Mac synchronization of Address Book data was enabled at the beginning, enable it again, go to System Preferences > .Mac > Advanced, click Reset Sync Data, and choose the appropriate options to reset the Address Book data stored on the .Mac server with the data locally stored on the computer, i.e. sync data must flow from the computer to the .Mac server.
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder. That is, ~/Library is the Library folder within the user’s home folder, i.e. /Users/username/Library.

Exchange 2013 upgrade from 2010 and no mail flow and cannot move mailboxes

I am in the process of moving to Ex 2013 from 2010. I have installed Ex 2013 SP1 on a new server 2012 R2. All of my Ex 2010 servers are SP3 RU 5. Ex 2013 is running and I can connect through the EAC and see all other Exchange servers and connectors that
were already in existence. Several puzzling things are happening now that the servers are in coexistence:
1) As soon as Ex 2013 was installed on the network, many Outlook users are continuously being prompted to enter their domain credentials. They can cancel the prompt and Outlook still sends/receives email. No user mailboxes are on Ex 2013 yet.
Why is this happening?
2) I am following the Ex 2013 Deployment Assistant and I get to the step to move the Ex 2010 Arbitration mailbox to Ex 2013 and the move does not happen--it just says "syncing" and never completes. I tried moving a test mailbox from Ex 2010
to the 2013 database and I get the same result. I created the move request on the Ex2013 server and I see it as queued on the Ex2010 server, so I know they are "talking" to each other. However, when reviewing the status of the move I
see "MapiExceptionNoAccess: Unable to open message store".
3) There seems to be no mail flow on the same Ex2013 server or between the Ex 2010 and 2013 servers. I created two new test user mailboxes in Ex 2013. The Ex2013 mailboxes cannot send/receive to each other or to Ex 2010 users. This
seems strange, unless I am completely missing something in the Ex 2013 install?
I know this is a lot in one post, but following the Deployment assistant, I was hoping this would be something that others have faced. Thanks for any input here.

Does the below points already fit for you.
Exchange 2013 Supported with the following minimum versions of Exchange:
1) Exchange*** 2010 SP3 on all Exchange 2010 servers in the organization, including Edge Transport servers.
2) Exchange 2013 CU2 or later on all Exchange 2013 servers in the organization.
*** If you want to create an EdgeSync Subscription between an Exchange 2010 Hub Transport server and an Exchange 2013 SP1 Edge Transport
server, you need to install Exchange 2010 SP3 Update Rollup 5 or later on the Exchange 2010 Hub Transport server.

I have a photo of an ice surface and another of a flower. Now I want to create a merged photo with the flower lying under the ice. I understand that I shall use the function "Layer" and have even read in the manual and looked on a video, but that information is not sufficiently detailed for me. I have tried several options, but I come now way. Generally it seems that your information is only for the ones who can, not for the people who can´t although it is we who really need to learn. Please give me a step by step (click by click) information on how I can get the ice above the flower and then make the ice partly transparent so the flower is seen underneath. Please send me an e-mail Erik Solbu [email protected]

Open a new document big enough for your image. Then additional open your ice and flower image as well. Copy each and paste it into your blank document. They will be placed on their own separate layers.
Make sure in your layers panel. (Bottom right) the ice is above the flower, by dragging it in place. In that same layers panel click the ice layer to select in and find the opacity meter above. Drag to the left until you get the effect you desire.

External Mail Flow not coming into Exchange 2013 Server

We just finished migrating from Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2013 and when I disable a certain receive connector on Exchange 2007 we stop receiving external emails. I have reviewed all of the Exchange 2013 Receive Connectors and everything looks to be fine
but the server does not get mail flow. If anyone could assist with this issue that would be great.
Thanks,
Ryan

Hi,
According to your description, all your inbound mails cannot be received in your Exchange 2013 server after you disable a receive connector in your Exchange 2007 server. If I misunderstand your meaning, please feel free to let me know.
If yes, since your MX record has been configured properly for your Exchange 2013 server, we can begin with checking the A record for the Exchange 2013 server and confirm if all external mails cannot come in your organization. And we can depend on the following
troubleshooting to narrow down the mail flow issue:
1. Check the NDR information if there is NDR.
2. Check Telnet to test the mail flow:
