HELP - Exchange Server 2007 Transport Rule Issue

Hi all,
sorry if here is not the place to put my question but I did not find another forum, so if anyone can help me I appreciate.
- I have an Exchange Server 2007 SP3 environment with 1 MBX Server and 3 CAS/HUB Servers.
- I have created a Transport Rule that said:
"all emails that have @test.com in BCC field are dropped off except one group can send" .
The issue is the rule doesn´t work.
Anyone can help me, please?
Thanks in advance.

Exchange Server 2007 Transport Agent Issue

This is the first time i am working on Exchange Server Development. Below is a simple Transport Agent that i am using, this agent should simply update the email Subjects
as shown below in the code.
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
using Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Transport;
using Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Transport.Smtp;
namespace MyAgents
public sealed class MyAgentFactory : SmtpReceiveAgentFactory
public override SmtpReceiveAgent CreateAgent(SmtpServer server)
return new MyAgent();
public class MyAgent : SmtpReceiveAgent
public MyAgent()
this.OnEndOfData += new EndOfDataEventHandler(MyEndOfDataHandler);
private void MyEndOfDataHandler(ReceiveMessageEventSource source, EndOfDataEventArgs e)
e.MailItem.Message.Subject = "This message passed through my agent: " + e.MailItem.Message.Subject;
Below is the Powershell script i am using to install the Agent.
Net Stop MSExchangeTransport
Install-TransportAgent -Name MyAgent -AssemblyPath EmailLogger.dll -TransportAgentFactory MyAgents.MyAgentFactory
Enable-TransportAgent -Identity MyAgent
Net Start MSExchangeTransport
Agent installed successfully using Exchange Management Shell.
Now when i send/receive emails in exchange, Email subjects are not modified. Emails have their original subjects. I don't know why?
I also performed the steps mentioned in below links to debug the Agent but breakpoints are not being hit by Visual Studio Debugger.

stackoverflow.com/questions/12347123/debugging-ms-exchange-2007-transport-agent
omarjames.com/blog/index.php/debugging-exchange-transport-agent/
My System Configuration
I am using the Exchange Server 2007 Virtual Machine provided by Microsoft from link below
microsoft.com/en-pk/download/details.aspx?id=14901
I also installed the Visual Studio 2008 on the VM for debugging.
Please help me in resolving the issue?

How are you testing this ? a SmtpReceiveAgent will only fire when the server receives email over SMTP. So if your just logging on and sending an Internal Email (eg mailbox to mailbox) or sending Email externally then the
SmtpReceiveAgent wont fire. For a single server if you want to capture all email you need to use a router agent see
http://blogs.technet.com/b/postwoman/archive/2010/09/14/step-by-step-how-to-create-a-routing-agent.aspx
. If you want to test what you have try sending an email to mailbox over SMTP using an SMTP client or Telnet

MimeMessage.reply() issue with MS Exchange Server 2007 Emails

I have an application that retrieves emails from an MS Exchange Server 2003 mailbox. The data from each message is read, validated and conditionally loaded to a table. If the message doesn't pass validation, a rejection email is sent back to the sender with an error message and a copy of the email. (We're using Java 1.5. However, I test with both 1.5 and 1.6.)
Also, if the message passes validation, positive notification is sent back to the sender.
Both processes use the method: javax.mail.Message.reply()It's coded as:
MimeMessage reply = (MimeMessage) message.reply(false);My organization is in the process of migrating to MS Exchange Server 2007. We've found that the reply() method no longer finds the sender method, thus unable to create a reply message. The error message we receive is:
javax.mail.SendFailedException: No recipient addresses
     at javax.mail.Transport.send0(Transport.java:110)
     at javax.mail.Transport.send(Transport.java:80)
     at org.ccci.gms.datacollector.DataCollector.sendReply(DataCollector.java:514)
     at org.ccci.gms.datacollector.DataCollector.processMessages(DataCollector.java:162)
     at org.ccci.gms.datacollector.DataCollector.main(DataCollector.java:101)After creating the MimeMessage object from the reply() method, I printed out the email header detail from both 2003 and 2007 messages. You'll note from below that the "To" or recipient address is missing from Server 2007.
MS Exchange 2003 works fine
From: [email protected]
To: [email protected]
Subject: Re: Report
In-Reply-To: <[email protected]>MS Exchange 2007 no longer works
From: [email protected]
Subject: Re: Reports
In-Reply-To: <[email protected]>I know I could just use the "addRecipient()" method to get around this problem. I wanted to know if anyone has encountered this issue. Please share the resolution. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
LaelW

When the original message is accessed using IMAP, the reply method uses the information in the
IMAP ENVELOPE to determine where to send the reply. It first looks for the Reply-To address
in the ENVELOPE, then the From address.
Interestingly, when not using IMAP, the getFrom method returns the Sender header if the From
header is empty. The IMAP-specific code doesn't do that, although perhaps it should.
It would be interesting to compare the ENVELOPE data from the protocol trace in the two cases.
The ENVELOPE data will follow this syntax:
envelope     = "(" env-date SP env-subject SP env-from SP
          env-sender SP env-reply-to SP env-to SP env-cc SP
          env-bcc SP env-in-reply-to SP env-message-id ")"
So it's the first three address fields after the Subject that are relevant. If the From and Reply-To
fields are NIL, but the Sender field has a valid address, let me know. I should probably fix the
IMAP provider to fall back to the Sender field if the From field is missing.

Backup Issue of exchange server 2007 mailbox store

Dears
Exchange server 2007 with CCR clustering
I have got a problem with the backup of one of my mailbox store. Its going till the last and giveing the final error as follows:-
V-79-57344-65247 - A failure occurred reading an object.
Also the warning as follows:-
Backup- \\mailserver.domain\Microsoft Information Store\First Storage Group
WARNING: "\\mailserver.domain\Microsoft Information Store\First Storage Group\Database" is a corrupt file. This file cannot verify.
Backup V-79-57344-34108 - An unexpected error occurred when cleaning up snapshot volumes. Confirm that all snapped volumes are correctly resynchronized with the original volumes.
Does it mean my information store is really a corrupted file. It has been properly monted and logs are genearting.
Even when I checked the last full backedup log file from the management shell it clearly shows the backing up is properly happened on the log files.
When I checked the event log of Exchnage server I can see these logs:-
Event ID 401, 403 errors
The size of the problem store is 308 GB.
One of the other store with 46 GB is backing up without any issue

Hi,
If you have a space issue with the Exchange server, you can upgrade drives on active node and passive node one by one. It is not recommended to upgrade them at the same time.

How to install and configure ms exchange server 2007 both role hub and edge transport role in one network

How to install and configure ms exchange server 2007 both role hub and edge transport role in one network

Hi,
Edge role is design for perimeter networks, to keep security risks minimum. So it’s not recommended to have edge role in internal network. Must have separate network or subnet for edge services.
If you are playing around it in labs, then you can put edge role within same subnet as other exchange roles and no specific requirements in that case.
Thanks.

Hi
As per the information and details provided by you, Exchange server 2007 stop receiving emails, then please follow these steps: -
If you do have a 60 GB partition on the C: drive, one of the first signs of trouble is when the free space on C: drops below 2GB. Exchange 2007 stops receiving external
emails. This is caused by a condition known as Back Pressure.
Please check the following: -
Check the nslook up for correct MX record.
Run the exbpa and llok for any recent changes.
Check for the device in perimeter network which accepts connections on port 25 FW or any other anti spam device).
Try to run a telnet session from the firwall and then out side and drop email on the server.
I hope this information will be helpful for you.
Thanks and regards

Exchange 2010 BCC Transport Rule skipped- Logging required

Hi,
we have some transport rules created on Exchange 2010 SP2 U4 that for each message sent to a specific mailbox the message is bcc'ed to some internal users. The rules work all fine, but we have a case were in some occasions a transport rule is not getting
applied and the message is not delivered to the bcc users but only to the initial recipient mailbox. The transport rule in question has Priority "0" and we have no conflicting trasnport rules
Message tracking log is not so helpful since it just shows that the message delivered successfully, whereas in the case that the rule is being applied message tracking shows the message being deferred to the other recipients as well.
Unfortunately we were not able to reproduce the issue since it occurs in an ad-hoc basis therefore enabling pipeline tracing will not be of much help.
Please advise, what logging shall we enable on what level to be able to identify the cause and the location of the logs generated in each case (Event Viewer or C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V14\Logging or C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange
Server\V14\TransportRoles\Logs).
Thank you very much in advance.

Hi,
If you want to ensure that the transport agent is doing its job within a message, we can enable
Pipeline tracing feature which allows us to create an exact snapshot of a whole message before and after it encounters each transport agent. Each step of the process is kept in a directory for troubleshooting reasons.
Before you enable pipeline tracing, you need to specify the sender's email address you want to monitor. Pipeline tracing is designed to log messages sent from a specific email address. Then we can use the following command to enable it:
Set-TransportServer Server1 -PipelineTracingEnabled $True -PipelineTracingSenderAddress "<>" -PipelineTracingPath <LocalFilePath>
For more information about pipeline tracing, please refer to:

Newbie needs some direction with Exchange Server 2007

I am in school and I have been given an assignment that is kinda hard for me. I am not asking for answers but I am asking for direction. If you guys can point me to some research that will help me It would be much appreciated.
Here is the scenario:
Your organization plans to open a remote location that requires a server to host Exchange Server 2007
with the CAS, Hub Transport, UM, and Mailbox roles. Your Senior Administrator has assigned you the
task of choosing the hardware to support this server. Using the links below and internet research, design
a server capable of hosting the previously mentioned roles and 1,000 mailboxes. Choose a processor,
hard drive, and RAM.
Here are the questions associated with the scenario:
Questions
1. What is the total cost of the server you designed?
2. Would you recommend a multiple core processor? If so, why or why not?
3. What is the minimum amount of RAM necessary?
4. Would you recommend a RAID setup? If so, what RAID level? If not, what would you suggest for
fault tolerance.
Your guidance and expertise is much appreciated. Just point me in the right direction for research....

Hi Mikenater,
Thank you for your question.
1. What is the total cost of the server you designed?
A:the total cost depend on the price of hardware and software in your country, we didn’t give an exact answer.
2. Would you recommend a multiple core processor? If so, why or why not?
A: I suggest we use the multiple core processor, because Exchange consume much hardware resources. including CPU,RAM and so on, when we use multiple core processor, Exchange will deal with a mount of request without no response. It is convent for us to manage
Exchange server.
3. What is the minimum amount of RAM necessary?
A: AS you said that a server to host Exchange Server 2007 with the CAS, Hub Transport, UM, and Mailbox roles. The minimum amount of RAM is 4GB. However, if there are 1000 mailbox, we suggest the RAM is higher, we could refer to
the following link:
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb738124(v=exchg.80).aspx
4. Would you recommend a RAID setup? If so, what RAID level? If not, what would you suggest for fault tolerance.
A: Exchange 2007 have high availability for database, for example LCR,CCR,Scc or SCR, we could refer to the following link:
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb124721(v=exchg.80).aspx
If there are any questions regarding this issue, please be free to let me know.
Best Regard,
Jim

Is there a way to sync Pre-MS Exchange Server 2007 (Service Pack 1) Calendar?

Hello all,
I think my company must be using Pre-Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 with Service Pack 1 for our exchange server, because
I can only set up company Exchange account on MS Entourage, not the new Outlook
I can only set up the same exchange account only on iPad and iPhone (able to view in Mail, Calendar, Contacts & Reminders)
But
I am unable to use Lion's Mail, iCal and Address Book to see my Exchange account
For the moment, I am not really concern about mail and addresses,
but can I see my Exchange calendar on my desktop iCal? How do I set it up?
I guess the most obvious and straight forward way, for now, is to view on my iPad :-) But it is really funny that the iDevices are backward compatible but yet Lion OS cannot...
Thanks and cheers.

Hidden Contact Subfolders are visible on iPhone after sync with Exchange Server 2007

Hello,
We have encountered an issue where synchronizing the iPhone with Contacts from an Exchange Server 2007 mailbox, causes hidden contact subfolders (from Outlook) to be visible and appear in the Groups list in the Contacts App on the iPhone. This does not occur with Exchange Server 2010 mailboxes.
We have a 3rd party application that creates hidden subfolders in the default Contacts folder on Exchange Server 2007 mailboxes. The hidden folders do not display in the Outlook client, Blackberry or on an Android phone. We did see that they were showing up in Outlook Web Access until we applied this Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 Service Pack 3 Rollup 2 patch unto the Exchange server:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2210042 - A sub contact folder is still visible after you set the "PR_ATTR_HIDDEN" attribute to "True" in an Exchange Server 2007 environment.
After the patch was applied, the hidden contacts do not show up anywhere else. However, when we synced the mailbox to an iPhone and synced existing contacts, all of the hidden folders appear in the Contact Groups list. Is there a way to hide the hidden sub contact folders on the iPhone and prevent them from appearing in the Contact Group lists?
Any help provided would be most appreciated.
Thanks and Best Regards

Hi SBuchan,
I have an open case with Microsoft about it. It is an issue with ActiveSync in Exchange 2007 that sends the hidden objects. Microsoft tried to resolve this in Exchange 2010 by sending a delete message after sending the hidden objects to remove them from the device. Am awaiting to see if they will approve a design change to Exchange 2007 ActiveSync to prevent the synching of hidden objects.

Exchange Server 2007 OWA users can receive email but can't send

Hi,
I have an Exchange server 2007 in an SBS 2008 environment with POP3 connector configured and working fine , smtp send mail connector configured.
Now users can connect to OWA, receive email but cant not send.
smtp connector works fine from Outlook client. Tried to track the emails from exchange server management console and I get the
SEND DELIVER SUBMIT TRANSFER.
The emails go to the sent items folder, but it never reach the recipients.
Have been troubleshooting for a while without succes. Any help will be most appreciated.
Regards
Faisal

POP3 is a single mailbox client mail retrieval protocol, not a mail transport protocol.
Any attempt to use it as a mail transport protocol is a great big kludge.
Exchange is designed to connect to the Internet using SMTP.
No version of Exchange has a POP3 connector.
I recommend that you post this in the SBS Forum: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/smallbusinessserver/threads

Hi, in our Enterprise environment, we have a single mac with Mavericks version 10.9.2 and Office for Mac 14.4.1. When setting up outlook, we are trying to connect to a mailbox on exchange server 2007.

Hi, in our Enterprise environment, we have a single mac with Mavericks version 10.9.2 and Office for Mac 14.4.1. When setting up outlook, we are trying to connect to a mailbox on exchange server 2007. We put in the EWS details in the server field since our autodiscover function is not functioning. But still it doesn't work. There are no errors, no popups. We turned on the logging and in the logs, it says a error of -3259. We are stuck and any help will be really appreciated.

I have a customer experiencing exactly the same issue. Their computer is running Windows 7 Pro with Office 2007 SP3. After seemingly exhausting all troubleshooting options, I backed up their data, formatted the hard drive and performed a clean install of
Windows and all their applications. It didn't solve the problem!
What's strange is the customer also has a laptop computer, running the same version of Outlook, and that doesn't experience any problems connecting to Office 365 on the same network.
My next step is to send the customer a new ADSL modem/router to try.
I have another customer on Office 365, also running Outlook 2007, and they also experience issues with emails sitting in the outbox while Outlook displays the status message “Outlook is trying to retrieve data from the Microsoft exchange server outlook.office365.com.”
In this case Outlook doesn't freeze/stop responding, like it does for the first customer I mentioned.

Mail / Calendar with Exchange Server 2007

Hi all,
We have a problem with Apple Mail and Calendar (Mountain Lion) connected to an Exchange Server 2007.
Apple Mail for no reason doesn't show the available data on the server. At first all goes right but after a few hours the data get corrupt. Folders disappear, mails aren't shown, ... The folders and mails are there in the server. I can check that with Outlook for Mac or on a collegues machine on Windows.
I tried:
- deleting the mail cache and mail data and restart
- removing the accounts and setting them up again
- creating a new user and trying mail in that user
None of those solved my problem.
Apple Calendar doesn't sync its data correctly. Example:
I create an event in calendar A. From that event I onvite calendar B to join the event. So far, so good. Everything just syncs fine. Then for some reason I delete the event from calendar A. In the server the event is still there. I checked in Outlook. This error is reproducable.
I tried:
- naming the user to <WORKGROUP>\<user>
- deleting the calendar cache and calendar data
None of those solved my problem.
Can anybody help me with this?

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
The configuration I think you have is MS Exchange on the back end fronted (to the Internet) by Outlook Web Access (OWA). As such, Blackberry Internet Service is the interface between OWA and the BB...there is no direct interaction between the BB and the Exchange server. As such, only email will reconcile wirelessly in this configuration. Calendar, contacts, and other items must be reconciled via USB/BT tether.
Now, that said, there is a free solution to do what you desire -- it's called BES Express. BES is BlackBerry Enterprise Solution and provides OTA sync of email, calendar, contacts, etc. Full BES is not free. But BES-X is. If you truly require full reconciliation of all things from Exchange, I recommend you research BES-X.
Good luck!
