Mail users have spam sent to their secondary SMTP addresses forwarded to their personal e-mail addresses- Exchange 2010

We currently have a spam issue relating to the secondary SMTP e-mail addresses of all our Mail Users.
Example: Peter Smith has an AD account on our company.com domain and an associated external e-mail address ([email protected]) i.e. he has an AD account ([email protected]) with Mail User Exchange attributes so that he can logon
to our SharePoint server. However, this AD account also becomes a fully functional secondary SMTP address and all spam sent to [email protected] also gets forwarded to [email protected]
To mitigate this issue, I have added this secondary e-mail address to the "Recipient filtering properties > Block messages sent to the following recipients" in Hub Transport/Anti Spam.
Two questions:
1. Is there an easy way to delete the secondary SMTP addresses of mail users? I was unable to (it just reappeared shortly after deletion)
2. What is the PS command to export a list of all secondary SMTP e-mail addresses OF MAIL USERS and then adding this list to "Recipient filtering properties > Block messages sent to the following recipients". I could manually add them
in EMC but there are quite a few of them...
Many thanks for your help!

Now that I understand what's happening, let me see if we can get a more accurate solution for you.  So your mail users (Exchange calls them mail-enabled users, as opposed to mailbox enabled users, who have mailboxes) have SharePoint access (with the
@company.com address), but have actual mailboxes externally (the actual end-domain is inconsequential).  You want users of these systems to stop receiving emails on the company.com namespace, but to receive them from only your SharePoint system. 
A "textual diagram" is below:
SharePoint (to Exchange mailbox owner) ==> Exchange hub (using company.com) ==> Exchange mailbox
SharePoint (to External mail user) ==> Exchange hub (using company.com) ==> Exchange mail contact ==> External system (using external SMTP address
External Messaging system (to External mail user, using company.com address used by SharePoint) ==> Exchange hub =XX=> Block delivery
You wish to stop the third of these from happening.  If your SharePoint system used non-routable addresses (such as company.local) and all of your mail users had only these addresses added to their accounts for internal mail precossing (as the
internal name used by Exchange), this would solve your issue.  The question becomes how to deploy this sort of address. 
If these are the ONLY mail contacts in your organization, the solution is simple - you almost had it above, but may have missed seeing it.  Policies are applied on a priority basis, with the default policy applying only if no others apply.  Since
these accounts are considered "Contacts with external e-mail addresses", you can create a policy for your entire organization that handles only these accounts.  You don't need to apply it to a single OU, if your mail enabled accounts aren't
in a single OU.  (If they are, of course, feel free to apply it only there.)  You can create the policy and apply it to the organization, but only to those objects that are "Contacts with external e-mail addresses".  That way, it won't
affect any of your Exchange mailboxes (current or future).
Does this help?
(BTW, one minor correction - your third statement about mail contacts is incorrect - Exchange sees no major difference between mail contacts and mail enabled accounts - and in my experience they are both addressable by the internal address.)

    The e-mail address I have tested it for several times and there is no problem.
    Anyone has any clue about this error?

    Hi.
    This I have seen before...
    It can be that the SMTP relay server is configured to only allow certain IP ranges or addresses.
    It can be that the firewall on the SP server does not allow for SMTP traffic (normally 25, for example for Exchange).
    It can be that there is an Antivirus on the SP server(Client AV) that prohobits the Timer service to send email from this server. I have seen MacAfee do this. Needed an policy change.
    If, its the builtin SMTP service you are using, check this link:

  • Long-time Eudora user, rookie Mail user--have questions, need help!

    Hi, all!
    As the subject heading says, I've been using Eudora for a very long time (way past its shelf life) and have been playing around with Mail off and on over the past year.  (Now, in Eudora's defense, the expiration date on it was a "Best by..." not a "Use by..." date   and it's been working fantastically for years! )
    I recently started to plunge into Mail more deeply and have a couple of questions.
    1. Drafting vs. queuing. 
    I am used to Eudora's system where a bunch of drafted messages sit in an Outbox.  They stay there until I flag QUEUE for the ones I'll eventually be mailing.
    It's a good system.  A quick look at the flags in the Outobx lets me know which I still to need to work on, and which ones are ready to go out (or need a final review before sending).   The user then selects "Send Messages" and it e-mails the ones queued in the Outbox, but not the remaining draft emails that haven't yet been queued.
    How do I set up something like that in Mail?
    Right now, all I have is a list of draft messages and I cannot tell which ones are still really drafts and which are ready to be sent!
    2.  Work-around to try and mirror Eudora's system.
    I tried creating a new mailbox called Queue, in which I can park the emails I've done editing.  Of course, the problem with such a scheme is that when I want to send messages, I either have to put them back into the Drafts mailbox, from where I can select and send everything (including ones I haven't finished editing!), or drag them into Mail's Outbox where they go out instantly.  That's a little freaky and I can see disasters happening (emails going out when I'm wanting to drag other messages to a different mailbox).
    3.  Disable auto-sending? 
    Is there a way of turning off and on the Outbox's automatic sending action?  That could be the simplest solution for me.  I'd really like to send messages only via a menu command--yet, from I've determined, Mail's Send menu command will send any messages selected in the Draft mailbox.  Again, I see screw-ups with that as the wrong draft could be selected and Mail would send it out. 
    4.  Display of badges for mailboxes.
    This is more of a curiosity, but is there a way of having a user-created mailbox show how many e-mails are in there?
    Solutions?
    What do you all do as to work flow?  How do you go about creating and revising a bunch of e-mails, but only sending out certain ones?  And ensuring that only the ones you want to go out, go out?!

    Thank you for posting all this info.  Unfortunately i have no idea how to do flags and how to use a smart mailbox as a place to store emails i am not ready to send.  Eudora is vastly superior in all the things it empowers the user to quickly and easily do, in the traditional Apple spirit of intuitiveness, clear direct normal (not esoteric) communicatioin and user friendliness.
    about three weeks ago i was pretty much forced into Mountain Lion bcause my old MacBook is barely functioning at all and i got a new MacBook Pro.  So, good bye Eudora that i've used since 1995, only because i couldn't find another mail program that did what it does.  I wonder why there aren't others.  I've tried MailForge, it's a great attempt but it seems to have run out of steam and isn't working well enough. 
    I am using Mail and Gmail. The result is i'm suffering a whole range of loss of functionality in email, and am not getting a lot of messages, they are here somewhere but i can't always find them, i have to go to my old computer, enduring a kind of freeze where a beachball is a sign of progress, a trackpad that barely works for drag and drop anymore and a battery that needs reaplacing. i think the hard drive is failing. but i still need it to retrieve my email reliably, to a poiint where i see i 'm going to have to put money into it so it can keep working, for email.  what a poor solution. I am trying as best i can to have Mail communicate better. 
    i just wanted to thank you for your encouraging posts and giving me something to follow up on to try to use, to address this one of many loss of Eudora problems. Why wouldn't a mail program give you the option to queue mail?   Why take away options and functionality?   sorry, i'm just ranting because i've had a very frustrating last few weeks related to numerous new OS challenges, but email is the only really serious one. 
    I really like your idea of badges to show number of new messages, i think that's what you meant, you didn't say 'new', but another great and helpful thing about Eudroa is sorting mail into mail boxes and opening those mailboxes that get new mail each time you download mail, so you kow what's new. You can immediately see it.  In Apple Mail, i find i have to dig through each of the 12 'on my mac' mailboxes/folders i created so far, to see if there is new mail in them. A lot of extra trouble for something that a superior email program can do for you.

  • How to configure Mail Users aliases

    Hello,
    i have installed OS X Lion Server and after after a short while i was very dissapointed.
    One of my goals was to get a easy GUI to adminstrate my mail Server.
    So, after installing Server App i configure and activate a Mail Server.
    Then i wanted to add aliases to my User and tried to start The Workgroup Manager.
    Within i searched for a the mail tab in order to configure the User Aliases.
    But there was no Mail tab there, so i have to create the aliases through the command line (edit /etc/postfix/aliases, newaliases).
    I cannot believe that there is no gui for configuring mail users. Is this really so or is it in another place or have i forgotten to check or to do something else.
    How do you setting up and configure mail and mail users in OS X Lion?
    I am looking forward to you answers and expiriences,
    Greetings,
    Peter

    @menzbua
    You can configure mail aliases, the same way you did in Mac OS 10.6 Server... Make sure you have Installed Server Tools for 10.7. Run Workgroup Manager. Under the User, Select Short names on the 2nd or 3 line add [email protected] etc .etc

  • How can I get mail not to save sent mail on iphone?

    I use yahoo mail for my mail acct. In yahoo mail I have the sent mail folder turned off. I do not want to save my sent messages. This used to work on my Itouch but now with my new Iphone it is saving the sent messages. How can I get this to stop? I have been through all the settings and can't figure it out. You may email me at [email protected] Thanks for your help!

    Not sure how this used to work on your iPod Touch since there is no setting for an email account preferences to not save sent messages. With an IMAP account, there is an option to store sent messages on the server, or locally on the iPhone. There is no do not save sent messages setting, and the same for the email account preferences with a POP account.

  • OWA still lands at Exchange 2010 for users migrated from Exchange 2010 to 2013

    I never had any issues with OWA redirection for a few users that I migrated from Exchange 2010-2013 initially. For users that I am migrating in the past few days, the OWA 2013 is landing on Exchange 2010 despite the mailbox being successfully migrated to
    Exchange 2013.
    Troubleshooting:
    1. I have restarted the IIS Services
    2. I have restarted MSExchangeOWAAppPool.
    3. I have also checked the homeMDB attribute of the 2013 migrated user with the Exchange 2013 database.
    I would really appreciate if anyone could share their experiences on similar issues.

    I have checked it, the migration status is completed. In regard to the namespaces, both CAS 2010 and 2013 are set to mail.domain.com; CAS 2013 is the internet facing. I have also checked the internal access for OWA, it's the same scenario. Migrating them
    back to 2010 and 2013 won't resolve the issue in my case, because the issue persists for every new user that I am migrating.
    I recently found the following when I login with a user who is not effected and then logout:
    1. Login in back with the affected user without closing the browser or clearing the cache, it lands at CAS 2013 OWA.
    2. However, I get the below listed error message when I logout. 
    Your request couldn't be completed.

  • Message Tracking logs for secondary smtp address

    Hi,
    There are many people sending mails to secondary smtp address instead of primary smtp address. How can i pull the report of message tracking logs if they sent it to secondary smtp address using get-messagetrackinglog cmdlet?

    Hi Sankar,
    If I don't understand your description, it seems that you want to get the message tracking log on an mailbox with primary SMTP address and secondary SMTP address.
    If it is the case, please add both primary SMTP address and secondary SMTP address to the "Recipients" parameter. More details to see:

  • Exchange 2013 not delivering mails to Exchange 2010

    I am upgrading exchange 2010 to exchange 2013 and currently in coexistence.  I cutover the mx to deliver mail to 2013 cas VIP last night and no mail was being received by the 2010 mailboxes, it was all being queued on the 2013 mailbox servers (mailbox
    and cas servers are separate in this deployment.) There are only a few 2013 mailboxes as I have not yet started migrating them.  These 2013 internal mailboxes can not send to exchange 2010 either, but 2010 can send to 2013. 2013 to 2013 mail works
    fine. I have read somewhere about an issue with a receive connector having the same ip range that includes the mailbox servers, but I'm not clear on really which mailbox servers it is alluding to.
    All the exchange 2010 servers are all on the 10.1.1.* network.  Exchange 2013 CAS servers are all on the 10.1.1.* network and the 3 exchange mailbox servers are on 10.1.1.*, 10.1.2.* and 10.30.5.*.  Only 1 AD site.  On one of the 2010 receive
    connectors there is a scope of 10.1.1.0/24  I'm wondering if this is the culprit and by removing it should fix the problem.  Any other ideas would be appreciated.

    Exchange 2013 users are unable to send emails to exchange 2010 users then check your connectors on Exchange 2013 Mailbox server. and yes if you have overlapping of scopes in different connectors then this can happen.
    Kindly mark this as answer if found helpful. Thanks.

    Mail won't send but Connection Doctor says smtp account OK.
    I can receive mail but can't send it from Mail 3.5. Same problem on a wired G5 and on a wi-fi MacBook (using the same account), so not hardware related. Worked fine 'till today - I didn't change anything in between times. Incoming mail no problem. Tried mail rebuild, keychain first aid, deleting the account, repair disk permission - doesn't help.
    Mail's connection doctor says "smpt.xxxxxx - connection to server succeeded, no login required."
    Anybody any ideas? Thanks, N

    Been having the same problem for a few weeks now. This has been working just fine, and all of a sudden - nothing. The update to 10.5.6 didn't do anything to fix this either.
    I've spent numerous hours on the phone with the Apple support. Seeing as the two other accounts that I have configured work with no problem, they say that this is a problem with the provider which is also the ISP. I then called the support line for the ISP and informed them of this and they say that it's a problem with the software.
    Interestingly, if I send a message to somone with the same ISP, the message will go. But I can't send a message outside of the provider. Does anyone else have this problem?
    Also, from another forum, they suggested rebuilding the LaunchServices database. The Apple support didn't see what that would do. But I tried it anyway and the problem still exists.
    Another intesting thing is certificates. It's only happened twice, but I've received the message saying that Mail can't verify the certificate XXXXX which validates the identity of the smtp. Anyone else get this? I thought perhaps I could delete the certificate and it would magically reappear. But when I go into KeyChain, the certificate is listed only under System Root and I can't delete it.
    ideas?

    hi experts,

    If >=2000 person C can post the invoice.
                                                                      what i have did is, created a multiple condition and then based on the inv amount assigned 3 methods for invoice posting.My problem is if a person posts an invoice amount of 1000.A mail has to be sent to Person B and C informing that an amount of 1000 is posted with user id.Same for person B, ie mail should be sent to person A and C informing regarding invoice posting.Now inside the multiple condition i cannot assign mail step.Coz based on the condition it will go to a particular user for invoice posting but where as mail should be sent to all the users.So how can i achieve this??.

    Hi Priyanka,
    I am getting 1 thing why you need need multiple conditions. No need to create any multiple conditions.
    1. Create a rule using transaction PFAC. (you can use the example as Rule: 0000168).
        a. Create an function module with table parameters as ACTOR_TAB (type SWHACTOR) and AC_CONTAINER (Type
            SWCONT). You can aswell copy the FM used in 168 rule and change it. check the logic mentioned below.
        b. In PFAC transaction, go to container tab and create 2 container elements.  For amount and Mail_indicator (type should be
            same as that of the amount field in your workflow) .
    2. Use this Rule in your workflow to send mail.
    Logic:
    ""Lokale Schnittstelle:
    *"       TABLES
    *"              ACTOR_TAB STRUCTURE  SWHACTOR
    *"              AC_CONTAINER STRUCTURE  SWCONT
    *"       EXCEPTIONS
    *"              NOBODY_FOUND
      INCLUDE <CNTAIN>.
      DATA BEGIN OF ORG_OBJECT OCCURS 0.
              INCLUDE STRUCTURE SWHACTOR.
      DATA END OF ORG_OBJECT.
      DATA: BEGIN OF NEW_AC_CONTAINER OCCURS 3.
              INCLUDE STRUCTURE SWCONT.
      DATA: END OF NEW_AC_CONTAINER.
      DATA: V_AMOUNT TYPE <AMOUNT FIELD>.
      DATA: V_MAIL_INDICATOR TYPE <FLAG>.
      REFRESH: actor_tab.
    Get the org-object under consideration. AMOUNT is the container name defined in your PFTC transaction
      SWC_GET_ELEMENT AC_CONTAINER 'AMOUNT' 'V_AMOUNT'.
    Get the org-object-type and the org-object id.
      SWC_GET_ELEMENT AC_CONTAINER 'MAIL_INDICATOR' V_MAIL_INDICATOR .
    Pass the org-object, the org-object-type and the org-object-id
    to a new container.
    The org object get a new name: ORG_AGENT.
      SWC_SET_ELEMENT NEW_AC_CONTAINER 'AMOUNT' 'V_AMOUNT'.
      SWC_SET_ELEMENT NEW_AC_CONTAINER 'MAIL_INDICATOR' V_MAIL_INDICATOR .
    check for V_AMOUNT and V_MAIL_INDICATOR.
    if the v_amount = 1000 .'
      if  v_mail_indicator = ' '.
        actor_tab-OTYPE = 'US'  .
        actor_tab-OBJID = 'SAPUSER1'.
        append actor_tab
      else.
        actor_tab-OTYPE = 'US'  . 
        actor_tab-OBJID = 'SAPUSER2'.
        append actor_tab
        actor_tab-OTYPE = 'US'  .
        actor_tab-OBJID = 'SAPUSER3'.
        append actor_tab
      endif.
    endif.
    Similarly write the logic for other conditions.
    This way you can use same for different purposes.
    If you pass the indicator that means you are sending mail to other approvers for information.
    Revert back if u need more help.
