Exchange 2007 rejecting e-mails from mailbox with a quote (') in the mailbox name.

I have a HA Exchange 2007 Environment of 4 servers - two IS servers (primary/standby) and two Hub Transport servers (load balanced).  When I receive an e-mail from an e-mail address with a quote in the name, such as
brian.o'[email protected], the email gets rejected with the error "550 Requested action not taken: mailbox unavailable(at FROM)".  Is there anything that I can do on my server to resolve this issue?
telnet mail.domain.com 25
Trying xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx...
Connected to smtp.domain.com.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 mail.domain.com ESMTP (mx)
ehlo me.com
250-mx.domain.com Hello me.com [xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx], pleased to meet you

rcpt to: ***********@domain.com
550 Requested action not taken: mailbox unavailable(at FROM)

That transaction looks like you're sending to a non-Exchange server that is rejecting the quote character because that banner does not look like an Exchange response.  If so, that's a problem with that server, not yours.
Consider removing the quote from your e-mail address.

    Rene,
    Why are you not changing the username of the existing account, instead of deleting the existing one and creating a new one?
    If you truly need to delete and create new, you can save the GUID for the mailbox (Get-MailboxStatistics <mailbox alias> | Fl MailboxGuid), mail disable the existing account (Disable-Mailbox <mailbox alias>
    will work), clean the mailbox database it was hosted on (Clean-MailboxDatabase
    <database name>), then create your new account and recover the existing mailbox to that new account (Connect-Mailbox -Identity <Guid from before> -Database <Database name> -User <SAM account name of new account> -Alias
    <what you wish to set the alias to>).  In PowerShell, for all steps, you would do the following:
    $MbxAlias = <mailbox alias>
    $NewMbxAcct = <SAM Account Name for new account>
    $NewMbxAlias = <new alias for mailbox>
    $DomCtrl = (dir env:\LOGONSERVER).Value.Substring(2)
    $MbxGuid = (Get-MailboxStatistics $MbxAlias -DomainController $DomCtrl).MailboxGuid
    $MbxDb = (Get-Mailbox $MbxAlias -DomainController $DomCtrl).Database
    Disable-Mailbox $MbxAlias
    Clean-MailboxDatabase $MbxDb
    Connect-Mailbox -Identity $MbxGuid -Database $MbxDb -User $NewMbxAcct -Alias $NewMbxAlias -DomainController $DomCtrl
    You will need to supply the information in bold in the above commands, and you will need to create the new account before you run the above commands.  I include direct use of a specific domain controller so you won't need to worry about replication. 
    If you are changing the account from one domain to another, this will not help, and you will need to wait for replication throughout the process, running the commands individually.

  • Email alert volume; Stopping deletion of mail from mailboxes

    Hi--Is there any way to turn up the volume of the email alert on my earthlink acct, the account came with the MB PRo.
    Also, is there any way to stop the deletion of mail from mailboxes I've created. You can stop deletion from the Inbox or whatever, but I lost important mail I'd put them in a new mailbox and poof they went, without warning, no advisory, ****.

    OK great.
    Not certain, but this can fix myriad Mail problems...
    Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move these folder & file to the Desktop.
    Move this Folder to the Desktop...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/
    Move this file to the Desktop...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/Envelope Index
    Reboot.
    If that doesn't do it and you can afford to redo all your Rules, try these & reboot...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist.backup

  • Not receiving mail from people with gmail accounts

    Has anyone run into a situation where they stopped receiving e-mails from contacts with gmail accounts? I seem to get mail from all other mail providers, just not gmail - sending messages to gmail contacts also doesn't seem to be working. All was fine up until about 2 weeks ago.
    Any ideas?

    If IMAP for your GMail is still not working correctly, then setup a new email account under Settings > Mail,.... > Add Account > Microsoft Exchange.
    Then enter the following
    Email: your GMail address
    Domain: Leave blank
    Username: your GMail address
    Password: your GMail password
    Description: Up to you what you enter here.
    Click Next
    Server: m.google.com
    Click Next and now you can select what services you wish to sync with your iPod.
    Mail: On
    Contacts: Up to you
    Calendars: Up to you.
    You should have your GMail account backup and running, on your iPod.

  • I can't open delete or send e-mails from hotmail with firefox 11

    my problem starts 3 days before i performe the update to FF11 so i can't open edit send or delete any e-mail from hotmail and still continues after the update to version 11 of FF. That issue happens only with FF on IE they work perfect. Any idea how to fix that problem on FF??

    Before creating a new empty profile, you can follow the [[Basic Troubleshooting]] steps and maybe start by running in Firefox [[Safe Mode]]. This is the Firefox "debug" mode which uses the default theme and toolbars/controls, disables hardware acceleration and disables all extensions. See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] for detailed instructions.

  • Is there a way to set an email mailbox so that mail from many months are stored, but the general default for the other mailboxes is a few days?

    Is there a way to set an email mailbox so that mail from many months are stored, but the general default for the other mailboxes is a few days?

    The only thing I can think of is to set the number of days to sync messages, shown below. But I'm not sure if this is what you're after. If it is go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars select the email account you wish to change.
    This will then only sync emails from the last week for example. In the screenshot all email messages would be synced to the iPhone.

  • Sending mail from iPad Safari: How to choose the sender account?

    In iOS 7.1 and whatever the most recent version of Safari is:
    I'm on a web page and want to mail a link to the page to someone else.  I tap on the "Share" icon (the square with the arrow coming out of it) and get the overlay with the AirDrop icon, the row of Message / Mail / Twitter / etc, and a row of other stuff, and tap "Mail".  Up comes the usual mail form with an empty "To" field and a field marked "Cc/Bcc, From: [email protected]", where "[email protected]" is indeed one of my mail accounts and the one that I want to have the message sent from.  I enter my message and tap Send; the message is sent.
    However (finally!), when I look at my copy of the message or the copy received by the recipient, I find that it's been sent not by [email protected], but by [email protected], which is another account I own and have set up on my iPad.  How come?  What happened to [email protected]?  For extra credit, why did Mail come up with [email protected] as the supposed sender (I have several mail accounts set up in my Mail client -- [email protected], [email protected], and several others)?  Any ideas out there about this?  Thanks!

    Minor "aha": The answer to the extra credit question is that, down in Settings > Mail, there's a place to pick the Default account -- "Messages created outside of Mial will be sent from this account by default". So why isn't it?

    Thanks. Where could I possibly look for a firewall rule. I knowingly did not creat any. My system has internet coming to a Modem which then is connected to a wireless router. I have computers connecting to the router through cable as well as wireless. One of these computers has been our  mailserver using Mercury and Pegasus and that computer has a static IP address. The Mac Mini also has been assigned a different srtatic IP address. I have only set up user account, none of them an email account as I initially expect them to receive only internal mails. Is it necessary that I must set up an email id for each user while setting up the user account. My server id is server.local. So would the email id for local users be [email protected]?

  • Read Document in FileUtilities  cannot search a file with french character in the file name

    Hi,
    I am trying to search a file with french character in the file name like 'captures écran.doc' in my unix server directory, and Write the file somewhere, say in a list of documents or, write on file system to another directory.
    I am using to Read Document in FileUtilities of Foundation, but it cannot read the file due to french character in its name. Although it can find any other file name without these french characters.
    Tried renaming but that also cannot find the file with french character name.
    Please provide any idea to solve it using LC operation.
    Regards,
    Rohan Raj.

    Hi Thomas,
    Thanks for the post, but I have already found a solution to it a month ago. Sorry for not posting the solution.
    You just have to set the '-Djava.property.file.encoding=ISO8859-1' into JVM argument of your server startup, and bounce the server back to pick the new JVM arg set. And now the service Read Document in FileUtilities of Foundation will read all french characters.
    ISO8859-1refers to "Latin alphabet no. 1," consisting of 191 characters from the Latin script. This character-encoding scheme is used throughout The Americas,Western Europe, Oceania, and much of Africa. It is also commonly used in most standard romanizations of East-Asian languages.
    regards,
    Rohan Raj.

  • Serving up files with Russian chars in the file name

    Anyone know how to get CF 8 to serve up CFM files with
    Russian characters in the file name? I can get IIS to server up
    .html files but .cfm files turn in to ?????????.cfm files.
    For example, this:
    новостииобновления.cfm
    becomes this ??????????????.cfm and throws a CF error (File Not
    Found) when clicking on the link. The strange thing is I can see
    the Russian characters in the status bar when I mouse over the link
    but CF can't handle it. And IIS will serve up the file and replace
    all the chars with their URL entity equivalent.
    Any suggestions on how to fix?

    Open the Script Editor or AppleScript Editor in one of the subfolders of Applications and run the following:
    tell application "Finder" to quit
    if (do shell script "defaults read com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles") is "1" then
    do shell script "defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles 0"
    else
    do shell script "defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles 1"
    end if
    delay 2
    tell application "Finder" to run
    If you change your mind later, run the script again.

    I'm in iPhone 5.  I transfer photos to a Windows 7 PC, using the USB cable.  Lately, the photos are appearing in Windows Explorer within monthly folders, with gibberish titles.  The folder names will be 8 random letters and numeric characters.  I tend to let photos build up, so there are about 2 years worth of these monthly folders… Between 20 and 25.  This is a huge hassle… I'm unable to tell what months are in each folder, by the folder name.…  Have to open each folder to see which month is in there.  I want to be able to look at all the photos on the iPhone in one view, as I was able to in the past.  How do I stop this foldering of photos, by months??  Thank you.  BC

    I have the same issue. I searched and finally got only one answer is -- Apple suggest customer using iMAC to transfer and backup photos instead of Windows. How great the solution is it!
