Message Delivery Restrictions failed in Exchange 2010

Hi everyone
For a customer, I wanted to restrict the use of a distribution group so that only a few selected people can send to the list. When I tried adding these users under Mail Flow Settings -> Message Delivery Restrictions, it gave me the following error:
Microsoft Exchange Error
The following error(s) occurred while saving changes:
Set-DistributionGroup
Failed
Error:
Couldn't find object "<domain>/Users/Administrator". Please make sure that it was spelled correctly or specify a different object. Reason: The recipient <domain>/Users/Administrator isn't the expected type.
OK
I know of the problem when a user is disabled, but never have seen this one before. The administrator account is active and in use (I logged in with the administrator account to add the users).
Anyone who knows what to do?
Thanks!

That's what the error is saying - the administrator account has no mailbox, and I suspect that the EMC expects the account you are placing in that area to have one.
It's not the administrator that I want to add to the list, but the users of the board. But I'll try to create a mailbox for the administrator, for the sake of science :)
Unfortunately not, that's what I thought at first too, but I double checked and no mailbox for the administrator can be found.
Was the administrator account mail-enabled in the past however? I wonder if it was set as delegate or had send on behalf rights for one of the users you are trying to add and its ghost entry is still there.

Any way how I can check this? As for as I know, the administrator account never had "send on behalf rights", but of course I don't know what they've been doing in all the time since I left.

  • Dynamic Distribution Groups - Message Delivery Restrict to Security Group

    Hi,
    I have created a dynamic distribution group and want to restrict mail delivery to only accept messages from members of a security group.  How do I achieve this?
    The idea is the DDG's are set with their criteria and if anyone leaves/joins the relevant SG then they will have permission to send to those DDG's.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi ,
    In exchange management console it is very simple to provide the access.Please follow steps.
    1.Open the Exchange Management Console (EMC)
    2.Locate the distribution list .
    3.Right-click on it and select Properties
    4.Open the Mail Flow Settings tab
    4.Select Message Delivery Restrictions
    5.Then select the option only senders in the following list and add the DL that you would like to provide access to send email to that group.
    Thanks & Regards S.Nithyanandham

  • Message Delivery restrictions on users in database

    Hi, I want to remove all delivery restrictions for all users in a specific database. Does someone have a script to do this please? Server is Exchange 2013 and the database name is College. Thanks

    Hi,
    We can use the following command to remove message delivery restrictions for all users on a specific database.
    Get-Mailbox -database “College” | set-mailbox -AcceptMessagesOnlyFrom $null -AcceptMessagesOnlyFromDLMembers $null -RejectMessagesFrom $null -RejectMessagesFromDLMembers $null –RequireSenderAuthenticationEnabled
    $false
    Also we need to check what Willard Martin said.

  • Message delivery has failed

    I continue to get the following error message when sending emails:
    Delivery failed for the following reason:
    mail.fgispirit.org[66.132.190.37] responded with failure: 551 This mail server requires authentication before sending mail from a locally hosted domain. Please reconfigure your mail client to authenticate before sending mail.
    On our other iPhone for the office the email accounts are setup the same but I am able to send. I am using the AT&T Server. Thanks!

    Hey,
    Try disconnecting from Wi-Fi.
    If your using the AT&T outgoing mail server, then you will only be able to send emails when connected to the Internet from the AT&T data network.
    If the issue persists try going to Settings> Mail, Contacts, Calendars>tap the account>verify/tap the Outgoing Mail Server. Make sure the primary server is set correctly or disabled if you only want to use the other AT&T SMTP server.
    If the settings are correct and you still see the issue, you may want to reset or restore the iPhone.

  • Message Delivery Restrictions on Distribution Groups setting "Require that all senders are authenticated" on newly created groups

    This is new behavior.  I recently decommissioned my Exchange 2003 server.  Could this have caused this new behavior?  If so, how do I ensure "Require that all senders are authenticated" is unchecked during group creation? 

    I don't believe there is a way to change the default.  You'll have to either go to the properties each time after you create the group and disable it. Or run the following powershell script after:
    Set-DistributionGroup GROUPNAME -RequireSenderAuthenticationEnabled $False

  • How to stop email messages "Delivery has failed"?

    For more than 6 months there have been constant messages. Now 100 a day! They all end in .ru with many different names in front. Do I have to cancel my .me address to stop this? How would I do that?

    Hi Chris,
    in addition to "cdeatherage" (if we both are on the right track what concerns your question).
    3. Look at your providers website and activate his spam protection.
    4. Talk to your provider and ask him about his possibilities.
    5. Insert your own eMail-address only as a jpg-file (image-file)
    6. Replace the @ with a written "at"
    7. and more ... you could even look to Google.
    Good luck!

  • Revert Back Exchange 2013 to Exchange 2010

    Dear All,
    I migrated Exchange 2010 to Exchange 2013 but was facing lot of issues on Windows XP clients with Office 2007 SP3 with November update. XP clients machine were continuously prompted user name and password and some times windows 7 with Office 2007 SP3 with
    November update were also behaved like this. I googled alot but couldn't find any solutions.
    Lastly decided to revert back to Exchange 2010, every thing went fine but again hurdles started on IMAP/POP3 clients that are not able to send email external domain but able to receive emails from external domains.
    The other issue is in Exchange 2013 made some contacts which was deleted in Exchange 2013 but those contacts are now in GAL but couldn't find where these contacts are sit in and how to remove.
    Kindly someone guide on those issues and specially on XP machine prompted username and password as I have to again migrate the users from Exchange 2010 to Exchange 2013.
    Thanks,

  • Exchange 2010: Forward e-mail to one account to multiple recipients

    Exchange 2010
    External and internal e-mails that are sent to
    [email protected] need to be forwarded to multiple internal exchange 2010 recipients.
    I set up a Universal Distribution group in Exchange and added those users, but this did not work.
    What is the procedure for this?
    Cathy Burnham, MCSA

    Okay everyone - the suggestion from
    ty72182 did the trick. Here is the process to have an e-mail address forward to multiple Exchange e-mail users in Exchange 2010:
    This is all done in the Exchange Management Console:
    Recipient Config > Right Click Distribution Group > New Distribution Group > New > Distribution > Put in the OU of your choosing > Descriptive Name > put same Discriptive name under Alias
    Once the group is set up:
    Right click group, go to properties
    Members tab: Add the users to whom you wish to have mail forwarded
    Mail Flow Settings tab: Double-click Message Delivery Restrictions
    UNcheck the box "Require that all senders are authenticated"
    --> Otherwise, only INTERNAL email sent to that address will forward, but not external email will.
    Then go to the mailbox of the account you want forwarded to multiple people.
    Right-click the box, > Properties > Mail Flow Settings > Delivery Options and choose Forward and add this dist group.

  • Exchange 2010 Mail Enabled Distribution Group Won't Receive from External Address

    Let me pre-empt the usual first response: yes, I've unchecked "require that all senders are authenticated" on the Message delivery Restrictions properties of Message Delivery Restrictions. I cannot get a message from an external mail server to
    send to an internal mail-enable distribution group. It's working internally. I've checked our ironport and the message is being sent to exchange (at least I think it is).
    How can I troubleshoot this?!

  • Unable to clear flags in Mail using Exchange 2010

    I am able to flag messages without a problem, but when I try to turn those flags off within a few moments it will sync them back to "flagged."  I basically cannot unflag a flagged message.  Connected to an Exchange 2010 server.  Not having any problems getting or syncing mail.  Activity window is clear and nothing is queued up.
    I see "changing flags" pop up really quick in the Activity window but as soon as it sync's back up with Exchange those flags come right back.
    Help!

    I've found a solution that works for me, although it's a little technical.
    I found that the Envelope Index file in Home/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/ is actually a sqlite3 database.
    the steps I followed were:
    Quit Mail (don't know if this is necessary)
    Open Terminal, and cd to ~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/
    open the sqlite db using the sqlite3 command line client:
    $> sqlite3 Envelope\ Index
    Now, in the sqlite3 command shell I queried the messages table to see which messages were flagged:
    sqlite> select * from messages where flagged = '1';
    I verified that the one message I couldn't clear was in the result set and then I updated the database and cleared the flag:
    sqlite> update messages set flagged = '0' where flagged = '1';
    Re-start Mail, and voila - flagged messages gone.
    Note: to selectively clear the flags from only certain messages would probably require a more advanced update statement that included some join in the where clause.
