Exchange Server 2013: incoming messages are not delivered into user mailboxes occasionally

Exchange Server 2013 CU1, two mailbox servers (DAG, only one mail database), two CAS servers (NLB cluster). Two Sendmail/CentOS-based SMTP relays route mail between Exchange servers and Internet (incoming mail is routed to NLB cluster name).
Usually mail flow is OK: messages are sent and received normally. However, I've got several complains from different users. They state that occasionally they don't receive messages that were sent to them from outside. Tomorrow morning I've decided to
investigate the issue.
So, we have a message sent from Gmail account that was not delivered in user mailbox. It was received and routed to Exchange by Sendmail host:
Jun 27 22:06:37 MX01 sendmail[12169]: r5RG6HC8012166: to=<USER_ADDRESS>, delay=00:00:19, xdelay=00:00:19, mailer=smtp, pri=124702, relay=NLB-FQDN [NLB-IP], dsn=2.0.0, stat=Sent (<CAHgK_sjEkj41htuVsutMP3XhgR5RRDs8-EgSC-UfHoaiHWFj=A@mail.gmail.com>
[InternalId=13069585481819] Queued mail for delivery)
Running Get-MessageTrackingLog applet on the mailbox servers displayed the followed log entries for the message:
DB Server #1:
    22:11:18 HAREDIRECT
    22:11:18 RECEIVE
    22:11:18 AGENTINFO
DB Server #2:
    22:11:18 HARECEIVE
    22:12:44 HADISCARD
So, we can see that the message was placed into shadow queues, but was NOT delivered into mailbox (no DELIVER status entries). Also pay attention to the timing. Time on all the servers is in sync, but Sendmail timestamp is 22:06, and Exchange timestamps
are 5 minutes behind it.
Today a message sent to the same address from the same Google mailbox was received by Exchange and placed into user mailbox with no glitches.
We use Exchange antispam system activated on Exchange mailbox servers. Spam is never dropped silently. It is either returned to sender (SCL 9) or placed into quarantine mailbox (SCL 6 and above). I'm pretty sure that the lost message was not in the quarantine
mailbox this morning, and the sender didn't receive any NDRs.
Any ideas what to investigate next?

Hi,
Do you mean the emails are placed in the Shadow Redundancy queue?

Some incoming messages are not received in outlook

Using Iphone 4.
Most of the time I receive messages from a POP account on the IPhone and on my Outlook2010 client. Once in a while I receive one or more on the IPhone and they never show up in Outlook.
This is DNSExist Squirrel mail server. The messages are not removed from the server account after they are received by the iPhone. Outlook is setup to remove the messages 1 day after they are received and appears to be doing so.
These messages come from different senders.
The Settings.Mail.Account.Advanced.DeleteFromServer setting is set to "Never".
Some of the messages appear to be flagged as received by IPhone in a way that make Outlook treat them like they have already been received.
I will post on DNSExist also

I believe that the messages sill show up eventually.
While I've no experience using Outlook with POP3, I have experience with Outlook 2011 on Mac and 2010 on Windows with Microsoft Exchange. Both OS X and Windows Outlook appear to have a bug whereby they defer display of new messages for a seemingly random amount of time (even if you tell it to "Send/Receive Messages" by clicking on the item in the ribbon or from the menu). The messages are on the server, and, if you monitor the messages in the activity bar at the bottom of the Outlook window, it seems to see the messages and transfer them, but they simply don't show up in the application.
Some messages appear immediately, others don't. We've not been able to determine precisely what differentiates those that do and those that don't. Some messages don't appear in Outlook for hours after they post on the server.
This is widely observed throughout the company, and home users report similar behavior (again, I can't tell if they are using POP3 or not).
We've reported the bug to Microsoft.
Your iPhone is doing the right thing. I know of no current fix or work-around for the bug in Microsoft Outlook.

Error messages are not posted into ECH using collect method

In asynchronous interface, Error messages are not posted into tcode:ECH_MONI_SEL using collect method.
In the collect method, passing software component version,business process and error messages.but its not posted into ech and ppo.

Hi,
Have you created the FEH class for the proxy. In that, from within the PROCESS method, when there is an error you will be placing those errors into a table and this needs to be passed to the COLLECT method.
CALL METHOD i_ref_registration->collect
   EXPORTING
     i_single_bo      = input
     i_component      = 'ZSWC'   "Software component defined while FEH customisation
     i_process        = 'ECH_BP' "ECH Business process defined while FEH customisation
     i_error_category = lc_errcat
     i_main_message   = wa_error
     i_messages       = lt_error
     i_main_object    = wa_object.
Here while populating the wa_object, the objtype field should be populated with the object type defined while FEH customization.
If all these things are done, then this should post the error.

1) Disable TCPChimney and RSS on CAS and Mailbox Servers by running below commands
netsh int tcp set global chimney=disabled
netsh int tcp set global rss=disabled
2) Disable unwanted Add-Ins in outlook that may open many sessions
3) If above steps doesnt resolve, you can delete existing outlook profile and create new Outlook online profile

Sent Messages are not saved in Sent Mailbox

It was working correctly but suddenly all my sent messages are not saved in the Sent Mailbox. I follow all the Mail Help instructions but nothing seems to work. Hope that someone can help me. I asked for help on december 14 but it was not helpful

The mailboxes drawer contains all mailboxes under In, Drafts, Sent, Trash and Junk (if you have Junk Mail set to automatic).
If you have a .Mac or IMAP type account, you also have an account named icon for the .Mac or IMAP type account at the bottom of the mailboxes drawer. It is named by the Account Description you provided/entered for the account under the Account Information tab for the account preferences.
If you select save Sent messages on the server for a .Mac or IMAP type account, the account's Sent mailbox will be available under the account named icon in the mailboxes drawer along with all other server stored mailboxes.
To open the account named icon for your .Mac account to reveal the server stored mailboxes including the account's Sent mailbox, select the black triangle beside your .Mac account icon in the mailboxes drawer pointing it down.
Select the account's Sent mailbox and at the menu bar, go to Mailbox > Use This Mailbox For and select Sent.
If you deselect store Sent messages on the server for the account preferences, the account's Sent mailbox will be available under Sent in the mailboxes drawer and you can't use "Use This Mailbox For" for mailboxes stored locally on the hard drive. It can only be used for .Mac or IMAP type account mailboxes that are stored on the server.

Exchange Server 2013- Information Store Service not starting

Hi Everyone,
We are having an issue with one of our Exchange Servers that is running Exchange Mailbox server role.
Server : Exchange 2013 CU3 , Windows Server 2012 R2
We noticed on Friday that its "Information Store Service" has stopped working and we try to manually run it (Services->Microsoft
Exchange Information Store Service -> Start)
Service didn't start and gave : Error 0x80004005 Unspecified Error
Trying to start the service using the command line using: net start MSexchangeIS gave us a different error:
System Error 16389 has Occurred
The system can not find message text for message number 0x4005 in the message file for BASE
Event viewer has (Event ID : 7031):
The Microsoft Exchange Information Store service terminated unexpectedly. It has done this 1 time(s). The following corrective action will be taken in 5000 milliseconds: Restart the service.
Since we have got this error we have tried some fixes such as Checking Time synchronisation and IPv6 issues. But nothing
seems to have caused this. We have rebuild the windows server from scratch and used the recover server switch to rebuild the Exchange server. Still the same issue.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Tiraj,
Any update? Does the issue still occur after install Exchange server on Windows Server 2012?
I wonder if the issue occurs suddenly or did you configured something on database.
In addition, overload on server could also cause the issue.

Exchange Server 2010 SP3 Databases are not mounting after the recovery process

Hi,
We are using Exchange server 2010 SP3 in our office. Databases are stored in an ISCSI drive mapped with the exchange. We are taking daily full backup of my Exchange server using Symantec Backup exe 2012. As a testing purpose I created a test environment
same like my existing live environment to check the disaster recovery and backup. Thankfully disaster recovery worked well and I am able to open the exchange management console and powershell. But I am not able to mount the recovered databases ending
with an error saying "Couldn't mount the database that you specified. Specified database: officialrecover; Error code:
An Active Manager operation failed.........." and even I am not able to use the utility eseutil.exe to the database with an error "access to source database failed with jet error 1811". I am able to create a new database and mount
it.
I am using Windows Server Ent 2008 R2 64 Bit with Exchange Server 2010 SP3 in the Live environment with 3 partitions called C (279 GB), E (4.46 TB, ISCSI), F (976 GB) in my Live environment.
For test it is Windows Server Ent 2008 R2 64 Bit with Exchange Server 2010 SP3 with 3 partitions C (240 GB), E (1.4 TB), & F (240 GB).
Please help me with your valid comments to solve and mount the database and close the issue for ever.
With Regards
Jay

Jared is correct that in essence the message is saying the DB cannot be found.
When you restored to your recovery server are all the paths the same, i.e. if the DB existed on E:\XYZ on the production server it must be the same on the recovery server
When you restored into the recovery site do you have AD restored into that site as well?
For the recovery server are you using iSCSI storage for it as well? If so am I correct to assume that you have copies of the databases just for use on this server and are not trying to reference the same instance of the DB from the production
and test/recovery server?
I have also seen an issue where DB's getting written to disk from Symantec mess up the header of the DB. If you want to validate that the DB is actually intact and accessible you might want to check out our DigiScope product
http://www.lucid8.com/product/digiscope.asp using a free DEMO license. If it works i.e. you are able to mount in DigiScope from same location where its failing on the recovery server we know the
DB your pointing at is good and accessible from the current path but something else is amiss in your configuration
Search, Recover, & Extract Mailboxes, Folders, & Email Items from Offline Exchange Mailbox and Public Folder EDB's and Live Exchange Servers or Import/Migrate direct from Offline EDB to Any Production Exchange Server, even cross version i.e. 2003 -->
2007 --> 2010 --> 2013 with Lucid8's

TS3276 incoming messages are not shown automatically even though in 'preferences' i have set to check every minute. I have to click the mail icon to see new messages. phil

incoming mail does not appear automatically even though preferences is set to check for new mail every minute

If by download bar you are referring to the spinning gears, they are gone in Mail 6.5. There is no indication Mail is checking for Mail. If it finds Mail, it will show it downloading in the lower left hand corner.
Under the Window menu there is Activity. Try opening it and you should be able to see if Mail is checking for new mail.

Bounce messages not delivered in users mailbox

When a Undelivered Mail message arrives in our Groupwise system it disappears somewhere in the dark, and is not delivered to the user.
The only thing we notice is that the "From" field is empty but all other fields are filled with correct data.
Answer from our ISP :
"E-mail that is being bounced back should have an empty (null) return
address so that bounces are never created for a bounce and therefore you
can't get messages bouncing back and forth forever."
Non delivery report - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bounce Address Tag Validation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Are we missing a setting somewhere ??

normally that is done during the SMTP connection, where the sending
server is told with an SMTP 'error' that the user doesn't exist.
That you are receiving a separate message indicates that some SMTP
routing/relaying is going on.
Perhaps a bit about your environment would be useful.
- Does GWIA talk directly out or is it pointed to a relay?
- Version of GWIA and the OS it is running on.
- Where are you catching the message that gave you the detail you
described?

Very likely just updates the status of the sent item. At least that is
where I would expect it to have been processed and seen in the
properties of the sent message in question.

Hi SOLVED IT !!
In Mail, i clicked on the gear wheel icon - bottom left of Mail window, clicked on Get Account Info - then on Messages on Server - there were titles of all messages I'd seen on mail2web.com but not downloaded to my Inbox in Mail.
Noticed that there was a message with no title and Sender Unknown, it was 25MB !!! Deleted it, and all fine now !!! Hope this works for you. Not sure if Mail didnt like one mega message or if the Inbox was at capacity - do have 1800 messages in there - its my memory box !! good luck Chris

TS1627 I can receive my mail on my iPod and iPhone, but the messages are not coming into my macbook pro.

When I set up my two email accounts on my new mac, I was receiving mail just fine, and I could check it on any of my 3 devices, and view read or unread between the devices. Now no mail is getting through to my laptop. Any ideas??

Exchange Server 2013: Database Increasing double

Dear All,
I just migration from MS exchange server 2003 to MS Exchange Server 2013. I have problem with database size are increase double.
the old database size only 400GB in MS Exchange server 2003.
After migration to MS Exchange server 2013, the size are increase to 800GB of .edb.
Any idea?
[email protected]

Hi,
From the description, you said you migrated from Exchange 2003 server to Exchange 2013.
Do you install Exchange 2013 in the same organization with Exchange 2003?
If it's the same organization, you need to migrate from Exchange 2003 to Exchange 2007/2010, then remove Exchange 2003, after that, migrate to Exchange 2013.
When you move a mailbox from a previous version of Exchange to Exchange 2013, the mailbox size reported may increase 30 percent to 40 percent. Disk space used by the mailbox database has not increased, only the attribution of space used by each mailbox has
increased.
For this issue, I recommend you use the following command to check the database size and the white space.
Get-MailboxDatabase -status | fl name, databasesize, availablenewmailboxspace
