Preventing incoming emails to userid.postoffice@domain

We're receiving a lot of spam to userid.postoffice.domain@domain email
addresses and nothing genuine comes to these versions of addresses.
I've unchecked userid.postoffice@internet_domain_name in GW System
Operations > Internet Addressing. When that didn't work I checked and then
tried overriding/disabling the Internet Addressing settings at the domain,
PO and user level but they're still coming through to those addresses.
Is it possible to block incoming email to those types of addresses?
Thanks for any assistance.

Try unloading and loading the GWIA agent after the changes.

  • Track Incoming Emails from a particular domain

    Dear Team,
    My Exchange Domain name is appletree.com and my client domain name is denver.com. We used to receive emails from [email protected] to [email protected] and [email protected] etc.
    In order to track the incoming emails from that particular domain (denver.com) we want to forward a copy of all the emails from denver.com domain to a dedicated email id  [email protected]
    Please let me know how to configure this scenario in Exchange.
    Regards,
    Jithin.

    Hi,Jithin
    some examples
    Get-MessageTrackingLog -server <CasServerName> -resultsize unlimited |where-object {$_.Recipients -like “*@yourDomain.com"}

  • SharePoint 2013 - Incoming email with smtp alias domain

    Hi All

    email server display address:

    emails are receiced in SharePoint lists / library are working when incoming email settings using the default local smtp domain (spservername.domainname.net) but not working when using the alias domain (spmail.domainname.net).
    Can anyone advice of what I have done wrong or missing in my configuration?
    Thanks in advance for your comments or advices

    I tried that but that did not work.  I got this error below.  Does that mean I need to create a DNS MX record for spmail.domainname.net to point it to the smtp server
    spservername.domain.net
    Thanks

    It looks like you have a DNS mis-configuration in this case with regards to how your MX record is configured (if it exists at all).

  • DLP to prevent emails from a speciifc domain from being forwarded.

    Hello,
    Can Exchange 2013 DLP be used to prevent an email from a specific domain from being forwarded?

    Looking through the options for DLP and transport rules I don't see a way to perform that function.

  • Incoming Email not working for one web app, but IS working for others in same farm.

    I have enabled incoming email in a large multi-web application farm running SharePoint 2013 SP1 and the Feb 2015/March 2015 CUs that were pushed down in Windows Updates.  It works just fine for two web applications, but it will not work for one particular
    web application. I see the email land in the /drop folder. If I remove the email address from the library in http://nonworkingapp web
    application and use it on a library in a http://working web application, then the email is processed successfully. Conversely,
    if I take an address from a library in http://working and move it to a library inhttp://nonworkingapp it
    does not work. I've tried multiple site collections on http://nonworkingapp. This rules out any SMTP issues, etc. and means
    the issue is bound to this web application. Permissions are the same between the "non-working" and "working" locations: domain users are members on the site, and the library inherits permissions from the site.  The App Pool and Timer
    Service accounts have rights to the folder and to the library.
    The error in the ULS log is the typical error processing message, but it gives no additional information even though I have enabled Verbose logging.
    The Incoming E-Mail service has completed a batch. The elapsed time was 00:00: 00.0156294. The service processed 2 message(s) in total. Errors occurred processing 2 message(s): Message ID: Message
    ID:
    Typically, you see "alias not found" or some permissions or quota issue here, but this issue is NOT the same as those. In this case NO additional information is provided in ULS.
    Edit: running stsadm.exe -o refreshdms -url http://one/failing/site fixed some similar issues where "Unknown alias" was
    reported even though the list did have an alias (see here:http://blogs.technet.com/b/vinitt/archive/2009/07/15/e-mail-enabled-list-alias-information-is-not-synchronized-between-configuration-database-and-content-database.aspx).
    This did not fix the issue for the case mentioned above.
    What could possibly be the issue preventing incoming email from working on this one web application?

    Thanks for your reply.  Incoming E-Mail was running on all 3 WFE, however I do not think this was the cause.  As noted, _other_ emails send to http://workingapp are working just fine.  I can send two emails - one to a library on http://workingapp
    and another on http://notworkingapp.  The email to http://notworkingapp will sit in the drop folder, while the one to http://workingapp will be processed correctly.  In addition, the ULS log on WFE1 indicates an attempt to process the file fails.
     So clearly, the timer job on WFE1 is running and attempting to process the file.  For kicks, I disabled the service on WFE2 and WFE3, but with no change in the behavior.
    WRT to #1, I have done this already (as noted in the original post).  I can remove an alias from http://workingapp and place it on http://nonworkingapp and it is not processed.  If I return it to http://workingapp it is processed.  In other
    words, I go into Library Settings -> Incoming Email for a working library, and copy the alias, then disable incoming email for that library.  I then go to Library Settings -> Incoming Email for a non-working library, enable incoming email, and paste
    the alias.  Once done, emails sent to the alias are not processed.  I then do the reverse, and it works again.
    On #2, I have already tried multiple libraries on http://nonworkingapp (also as noted in the original post).
    In my environment, incoming email does not work for any library on http://nonworkingapp, but does work for any library on http://workingapp.  Troubleshooting listed above has ruled out any problem with basic mail server configuration or library settings
    - the problem is bound to http://nonworkingapp
    I'm not sure what you mean by "steps to reproduce the issue".  If I knew that, I would probably be able to solve the issue.  The best I could come up with to describe the situation would be:
    Set up SP 2010 in a three-node configuration with multiple web apps
    Enable incoming email and confirm it works
    Migrate to a SP2013 SP1 farm in a three node configuration.
    Enable a new email alias for a library
    Observe that it doesn't work for one web application.
    Obviously, it's pretty unlikely that attempting that in a lab would actually have the same result.

  • EmailRecieved Event handler for incoming email in Sharepoint 2013

    Hi,
    I am developing custom event handler to enable incoming email for custom document library.  i have couple of questions.
    1. Once i attached the event handler, i could see incoming email settings for the custom document library, but it displays only 2 options as below :
                  1.   Allow this document library to recieve email
                                 Yes       No
                    2. E-mail address
    All other properties are not displaying. Is this normal behaviour on custom event handler for custom document library or any issue anywhere?
    2. So i have given other properties using powershell as below:
    $list = $web.lists["invoice Documents"]
    $list.EmailAlias ="TestDocument"
    $list.EnableAssignToEmail = $true
    $list.rootFolder.Properties["vti_emailusesecurity"] = 1
    $list.rootFolder.Properties["vti_emailsaveattachments"] = 1
    $list.rootFolder.Properties["vti_emailattachmentfolders"] = "root"
    $list.rootFolder.Properties["vti_emailoverwrite"] = 0
    $list.rootFolder.Properties["vti_emailsavemeetings"] = 0
    $list.rootFolder.Properties["vti_emailsaveoriginal"] = 0
    $List.RootFolder.Update();
    $list.Update();
    here i have given vti_emailusesecurity as 1, so it should allow incoming email for the user who has permission for the list.
    But any user from the domain is sending mail to this list, the Emailrecieved event handler is triggered. I am expecting that this event handler should not be triggered and expecting access denied error in the ULS Log. But that is not happening, and emailrecived
    is triggered and email is delivering to this address successfully.
    Can you please anyone help if experience on this?
    Thanks

  • Incoming Email - Suggestions

    Hello,
    We are using @sp.xxx.com as a address for incoming email enabled lists in our Sharepoint 2013 environment. This is working fine internally, but our users want to send emails from external emails ex: gmail to @sp.xxx.com enabled lists.
    So we have requested our security to enable the same in exchange server. But they disagreed due to some security reason.
    So to overcome this issue i' am thinking to change address from @sp.xxx.com
    to @xxx.com in incoming email enabled lists,
    in this way we can send emails from external addresses, since xxx.com is our main company domain.
    Please let me know your thoughts around this. Any help here will be highly appreciated.
    Thanks,

    Sharepoint HELP

    Thank you Inderjeet for your prompt response.
    So changing from @sp.xxx.com to @xxx.com
    (company domain) in incoming email enabled lists is a good practice?
    Please note in our SharePoint environment every day new incoming email enabled lists will get created . So these entries will get created under mail domain i.e
    @xxx.com. Is it a good practice?

  • Incoming email setting for Calendar not working

    Hello -
    I want to be able to send a meeting request from Outlook and have it show up on my SharePoint calendar.
    I followed the steps in this link to configure email for a 2013 farm:
    https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc262947.aspx
    Basically I installed the SMTP server on my SP web server and configured the relay to accept all.     In Central admin, I enabled incoming email using Automatic mode. and set it to accept mail from all e-mail servers.
    My SharePoint site is http://sharepointdev.   SharePoint server is SPDEV1.     Maybe I am not setting my email server display address correctly?  I have that set up as <mylist>@sharepointdev1.com   (I don't
    think it matters what you call it here).
    I have also verified that under the Calendar list setting, under Communications > Incoming email settings, it is allowed to accept incoming email.  The email to use is <[email protected]  
    When I send the meeting invite, I get an outlook undeliverable on the above email.  Details are:
    Remote Server returned '550 5.7.0 Proxy session setup failed on Frontend with '554 5.4.4 SMTPSEND.DNS.NonExistentDomain; nonexistent domain''
    I must be missing a step somewhere.   Any other suggestions?   I've tried everything in the links below.  thanks

    Hi XRS,
    Based on the error message, the email could not be routed correctly.
    What environment did you send email to SharePoint list? Is it an internal environment or external external environment?
    If it is internal environment, you need to make sure the domain is same with email address’s domain, and SharePoint server can parse the domain.
    If it is external environment, the email address’s domain need to be a public domain, SharePoint server must have public IP and the domain for SharePoint server must have correct MX record to ensure email can be routed correctly

  • Incoming email configurations, what is missing?

    I have configured incoming email settings in CA (System > Incoming email) and created SMTP service in Server Manager. I have also checked settings in IIS Manager > SMTP Virtual Server and set Properties > Access > Relay: Granted Access for IP
    addresses of the SharePoint server, despite "Allow any computer etc" is checked. I've allowed email in library and created email address.
    What else should be done? I've followed Technet instructions.

    Have you set up an MX DNS record for the domain portion of the email address (i.e. everything to the right of the @)?
    This record should point either to the SharePoint server running the SMTP service, or a mail server that can route mail to the SMTP service (if you're using Exchange this would be an SMTP Connector)

  • How Receiving Incoming Email works?

    Hi I would like to know how receiving incoming email works?  SharePoint supports incoming emails for library/calendar
    list/discussion
    board/announcements
    list   I did whole setup to receive incoming emails but what i am not still clear is , do I need to request separate email ID in AD for each type of list/library/discussion board??  I learnt we need to specify drop folder name while SMTP
    configuration from there all .EML msgs will be routed to respective library/list, but my question is how that get routed.  I know there is "SP incoming receiving emil" timer job which runs every minute or so and picksup .eml msg but how does
    it route to respective library/list.  Will it be possible to have single incoming receiving emaild ID for all resources OR do I need to have one-one mapping of email ID for each library/list.  Please let me know if you aware or any article or guide. 
    In summary , For example if i have 10 lists to enable to receive incoming emails then do i need to have 10 email IDs created in AD&Exchange or can it be done using single emailID in AD but manipulate it either domain level or exchange level.  
    Perhaps I could think some segratation based on some metadata but user may not fallow the same while they send email. ( user could send mails with subject , w/o subject...otherwise i was thinking some email template as alternative but the solution i am more
    interested in , will it be possible to segrate emails based exchange settings or AD settings while having single email ID for all . 

    Hello,
    You don't need to create emails for each lists . You have required only one email id and by using that you can configure Incoming email setting in Sharepoint.
    For the same you can follow below steps . 
    1) Open Sharepoint Central Administration. 
    2) Navigate to to System Sttings ->Configure incoming e-mail settings.
    and do the below settings
    Enable sites on this server to receive e-mail? -> Yes
    Settings mode: -> Automatic
    Use the SharePoint Directory Management Service to create distribution groups and contacts? -> No
    E-mail server display address: -> youremailserver.domain.com, this is the default
    Safe E-Mail Servers -> Accept mail from all e-mail servers
    I hope this will help you to resolve your problem .

  • SMTP folder, "Badmail" is getting flooded with millions of junk emails- SharePoint 2010 incoming email

    Hi All,
    Need your expert advice and help !
    Incoming e-mail has been successfully configured and working fine on SharePoint 2010.
    Issue: Badmail folder is getting flooded with millions of junk emails. First Queue folder gets them, and then moves them to Badmail folder. Incoming Email has been successfully configured for SharePoint 2010 and SharePoint list is receiving the emails (there
    is a delay, but that is fine!)
    Please help. what other information should i provide to help understand this issue better ?

    What Reverse DNS Lookup does is attempt to validate that the piece of mail came from an IP that belongs to the domain in the EHLO/HELO command - http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/WindowsServer2003/Library/IIS/233c0fde-7315-479a-a7fb-2e9d00ff73fd.mspx?mfr=true
    So it doesn't directly filter spam (certainly possible to get spam from GMail/Hotmail servers that Reverse DNS Lookup will see as 'valid').

  • Send copy of incoming email to

    Does anyone know how to configure the mail server to Send copy of incoming email to a specified email. Thank you!
    e.g. I got 3 colleagues in support team and their email addresses are [email protected], [email protected] and [email protected] Any email send to their addresses will be sent a copy to [email protected]
    Thank you!

    You need to set up a forwarder in the postfix system used by OS X Server to handle mail.
    It is quite straightforward to set this up if you are familiar with using command line / terminal to configure your machine.  If you are not sure about this mode of using OS X Server, you may need to find an alternative method.
    Assuming you logged into the server as an Administrator, the way to do it is as follows:
    1) On your server, open a terminal window and switch into 'super user' mode by typing su at the prompt.  You will be asked to give the password for your account, and if successful you'll see the command prompt change (from something ending in a $ sign to something else ending in a # sign) 
    2) Open the file virtual_users in the directory /Library/Server/Mail/Config/postfix for editing.  I use nano - but you can use whatever editor you prefer for this - e.g.
    nano /Library/Server/Mail/Config/postfix/virtual_users
    3) In this file (which is probably blank / empty when you start) type in the following information for each of your users that you are trying to forward mail from (obviously you'll need to correct the email addresses first!)
    [email protected]    [email protected]    [email protected]
    [email protected]     [email protected]    [email protected]
    [email protected]   [email protected]    [email protected]
    4) Now you need to process the file to put it in a form that postfix can read, do so by typing in the following
    postmap /Library/Server/Mail/Config/postfix/virtual_users
    5) Now you need to restart postfix so that it uses your new settings
    postfix reload
    6) Now just type exit into the terminal to leave SU mode and you are done.  Test your email addresses, but it should "just work".
    The clever bit is the postfix virtual_users file. 
    In that file, you put the email address you want to play with first on the line, and then you can put as many other email addresses after it (with spaces between): postfix will forward messages sent to the first address to each of the addresses in the list. 
    Most normally this system is used to set up 'forwarding' systems - so if you want one email to go to another this is what you do.  But if you want to do this and keep a copy, simply repeat the original email (i.e. the one at the start of the line) in the list that follows, and a copy goes to that one too.  Postfix is clever enough to not get into a tail-spin - it doesn't loop back and send a copy of the copy or anything.
    Hope this helps.

  • How do I disable responding to an 'X-Confirm-Reading-To" header in incoming email?

    I am receiving emails with 'X-Confirm-Reading-To:' and 'Notice-Requested-Upon-Delivery-To:' headers. I consider the automatic response to these headers a privacy violation. How can I disable all such "return receipt request" functions?

    ok the attached base64text file, which by the way is the message, your provider or your SPAM tool flagged it as spam. With the following report
    ''X-Ham-Report: Spam detection software, running on the system "harvey.tchmachines.com", has
    identified this incoming email as possible spam. The original message
    has been attached to this so you can view it (if it isn't spam) or label
    similar future email. If you have any questions, see
    root\@localhost for details.''
    The original html, which incidentally simply says "Whats Up" contains a link to this image http://mxsvr.net/we6xgr4zsjbf/signature.gif. The we6xgr4zsjbf is probably a bas64 representation of your email address, or some other value that he has linked to your email address.
    Interestingly when I tried to go to that internet address, my anti virus blocked the attempt with the following message.

  • Incoming Sharepoint Mail: External/Internal Domain Environment

    We have setup Incoming Sharepoint 2010 Mail both on Sharepoint side and on the Exchange 2007 side (Send Connector setup). And we have no problem delivering mail from Exchange to Sharepoint.
    We have an External/Internal Domain setup.
     Our Windows DNS does not own the “A” record for our External domain Name @external.Domain.com. 
    All mailboxes/mail-enabled contacts/UDG’s/USGS are stamped with our External domain Name: @external.Domain.com because within Exchange an accepted domain (Internal Relay Type) was created for @external.Domain.com.
    Sharepoint is part of our Internal Windows domain. Sharepoint mail-enabled contacts are created as
    [email protected]
    Per Incoming mail technote: we created Active Directory Org Unit for Share Point mail-enabled contacts. These contacts replicated to Exchange Recipient Management Console and then of course
    to the Outlook Global Address List; however, the contacts are not a routable address because they are stamped @windows.Internal.Domain.com.  If we add @external.Domain.com which is a routable address, mail is delivered to the Sharepoint Site.
    Q. One thing we do not want is within our Outlook Global Address List, to show two SMTP domain names, i.e., @windows.Internal.Domain.com and @external.Domain.com this would be
    too confusing for our users. Also changing each mail-enabled contact to the routable address (@external.Domain.com would be a nightmare. Any suggestions or assistance would be greatly appreciated?

    It doesn't need to be a nightmare, you simply have to create a Recipient Update Policy and apply it to the OU containing your contacts/DLs. You also need to configure SharePoint to use external.domain.com instead of the internal domain.
    See http://thesharepointfarm.com/2013/02/a-practical-guide-to-implementing-incoming-email-using-the-sharepoint-directory-management-service/

  • Incoming Email Setting - On collaboration of two farm

    Hi All,
    I have two farm (say A & B ) where MOSS 2007 is installed and incoming email is configured as well. Now i thought of merging this two farm to my third farm (say C). 
    Merging can be done using database detach attach method.
    Search /Excel Service Application configuration also doesnt give pain.
    On coming to incoming mail setting, When i merge A & B farm to farm C. How will be the incoming mail configured document library will behave ?. 
    Is there any option to update the entire domain address of the incoming mail configured document libraries. 
    Any help would be much apprecicated 

    When you merge farms, the document libraries will inherit the domain configured by the Incoming Mail Settings in Central Administration (since you can only have a single domain for an entire farm).
