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').

    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).

  • Cross Site collections navigation with publishing feature enabled into sharepoint 2010??

    Hi,
    Is it possible to cross site collection navigation in share point 2010 with publishing feature enabled? Right now we have a site collection with all the departmental sites within it. We are trying to create separate site collection with separate content
    database for each department for better management. But problem with Global navigation as OOB does not provide cross site collection navigation functionality, So looking for multiple site collections or navigation for more than one site collection under single
    umbrella. i was able to get the cross site collection navigation in my development env without publishing feature enabled using below link. But problem with production environment, as all the site collections and sites are publishing feature enabled. how i
    am gonna do cross site navigation with publishing feature enabled? 
    http://www.itsolutionbraindumps.com/2011/10/sharepoint-2010-cross-site-collection.html
    Any link or suggest will be greatly appreciated !

    Hi,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you want to create cross site collections navigation with publishing feature enabled in SharePoint 2010.
    Publishing sites (sites with publishing infrastructure) have their own navigation API, and it is much more complicated task to preserve cross-publishing sites navigation.
    We need to implement our own custom navigation provider.
    Please refer to the link below about the cross site collections navigation with publishing feature enabled:

  • User profiles with multiple login accounts in SharePoint 2010

    Hello,
    Consider the following scenario:
    We have Active Directory that is accessible inside our network. Except the sites, accessible from the corporate network, we are exposing SharePoint sites from the same farm on the internet, using claims based authentication with ADFS 2.0 using the same
    AD instance as in the intranet.
    The problems is that the claims based accounts are not linked to the profiles, that are created for the users by the User Profiles Synchronisation service.
    Is there a way to configure the user profiles so if our users are signing in from internet, to access the same profiles that they have, when accessing the SharePoint sites from intranet?
    (I've searched a lot, I didn't find excat solution. I've found something related to SPCLaims properties and had confugred them to sync with the AD using the "claims" trusted connection, but the problem remains.)
    This is simmilar to allow our users to login using their Facebook, Google, OpenID identity or the identity in our AD. How can this be done?

    SharePoint user profiles are not populated automatically when using claims-based authentication methods. You must create and populate these profiles yourself, typically in code. Users that map to existing accounts when you migrate to claims-based authentication
    will use any existing profile information, but other users and new users will not have profile information. For information about how you can populate user profiles when using claims-based authentication, see "Trusted Identity Providers & User Profile
    Synchronization" at
    http://blogs.msdn.com/b/brporter/archive/2010/07/19/trusted-identity-providers-amp-user-profile-synchronization.aspx.
    The same limitation occurs when using SharePoint Audiences. You cannot use user-based audiences directly unless you create custom code to support this, but you can use property-based audiences that make use of claims values. For information, see "Using Audiences
    with Claims Auth Sites in SharePoint 2010" at
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/speschka/archive/2010/06/12/using-audiences-with-claims-auth-sites-in-sharepoint-2010.aspx.

  • Why am I getting flooded with calls from a deactivated verizon wireless number?

    Im not a verizon customer, but after spending several hours on the phone with their customer support to no avail, Im turning to the community for help.
    The past two days Ive been flooded with calls from verizon wireless numbers in MO (mostly 636 area code). I try answering, no response. I call back, and after ringing twice I get a prerecorded message - "The verizon wireless number you're trying to call has been changed, disconnected, or is no longer in service", even when calling back seconds of the original call. Occasionally a voicemail is left, and its nothing but exactly 5 seconds of silence.
    This is getting very frustrating, since its almost constant. Im averaging 4 calls an hour between the hours of 10am and 9pm, with a couple up until 11pm. I have no idea whats going, and its getting quite irritating, and Im burning through minutes checking and deleting all the voicemails.
    Just for reference, some of the numbers are -
    >Phone numbers deleted<
    And they all give the same verizon message when called.
    Any ideas or suggestions are great.

    Your device may have this option:
    If I get an annoying call, I will add them to my contact list as Spam and block the number on my device. The call will go straight to VM and funny, a message is never left.Problem Solved.
    Also I agree with Jim, if this is a new number for you, just have it changed.

  • Getting flooded with Apple Discussions subscription digest e-mails!

    I've gotten 9 identical messages in the last hour. Typically it's only supposed to be one per week! Anyone else having the same problem ATM?

    I'm getting flustered and annoyed because I get tens of emails each week from the forum *for issues to which I am not subscribed to*.
    It's impossible to change this behavior, whether I try to do it in "My settings", or in "My public profile", or in "My questions", and so on and so forth.
    Even reading each individual question that I have posted (all of them solved, BTW) I see the link to "Subscribe to this Topic," which should mean I am not subscribed.
    But something in this auto-generated piece of garbage doesn't read what is in it and I'm flooded with *unwanted emails*.
    Would some forum administrator (no one can guess who this person may be, there is no way of finding about him or her; any query with "forum administrator" and similar words would give one access to any topic whatsoever that happens to have either or both words, but not what one is looking for) read about this problem and find a way to solve it once and for all?
    Please stop annoying us!

  • Getting error while running SSRS report in SharePoint 2010

    Thanks,

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you get error while running SSRS reports.
    Basically, If the Request Management service is enabled, it manages all incoming requests by evaluating logic rules against the user requests in order to determine what\which action to take and which machine or machines (targets) in the farm should handle
    the request.
    By default the Request time out value for Request Management service are as follows,
    RequestTimeout                    : 00:01:40
    RequestExecutionTimeout       : 01:00:00
    So the error throws from RM service for those reports who take more than 1 minute to generate the report.
    To solve this issue, we can stop the Request Management service.
    Or increase the time out
    value by making use of following PowerShell  script.
    $waUrl = "URLofWEbApp"
    $wa = Get-SPWebApplication $waUrl
    $rmSettings = $wa | Get-SPRequestManagementSettings
    $req=$wa.RequestManagementSettings
    $timeout2= New-TimeSpan -minutes 5
    Sreq.Requesttimeout=$timeout2
    $req.update()

  • How to Create a Auto Generated number with some preceding text in Sharepoint 2010

    I am trying to create a auto generated number field in Sharepoint 2010 list item. My requirement is to have the following format number generated when new request is created in Sharepoint using form. Auto generated Ticket ID should be in the following format
    "IR13000" "IR13001" "IR13002"....... Please let me know how to get this done. I tried to use combination of default ID and Characters but its not working for new requests, its only reflecting for existing uploaded requests. I
    am trying this for taking up Ticket requests by filling up some fields in the form. Any quick help is much appreciated.
    Thanx

    Here are the steps:
    1 - Open your SharePoint site in SP Designer 2010.
    2 - Click Workflows and add a List workflow. Associate this workflow on the list where you want the Random Text to be generated.
    3 - Inside the workflow editor, select the Action "Update list item"
    4 -  Select 'Current Item'.
    5 - Click Add.. and select the field which needs to be updated with the Random Text. Make sure this column is not of type "Calculated" type, otherwise you won't see it in the list of the fields within the workflow.
    6 - Click "..." button in the next textbox which will open String Builder dialog box.
    7 - Type IR and then click 'Add or Change Lookup and select ID column from "Field from source". Hit OK.
    8 - It should look like IR[%Current Item:ID%]
    9 - Hit OK.
    10 - Save and publish the workflow. (Please note that currently this workflow is not set to auto run on creating new items. That's because we want to test it at this point of time).
    11 - Go to your list in SharePoint and create a new item. After creating, select the item and click Workflows and then run this workflow.
    12 - You should be able to see the text "IR1" in the designated column.
    13 - Once you see that it's working, go to SPD and set the workflow to run automatically on creation of the new item. Save and publish and then return to your list in SharePoint.
    14 - Create a new item there and you should see the Random value in the column.
    15 - You will also see the column in the New form. In order to remove it, go to List settings > content types > Item content type > and select Hidden for this column so that it doesn't showup in any form.
    Try it and let me know how it goes.
    Thanks,
    Ashish

  • Issues with 'Content Organizer Rules' of SharePoint 2010

    Hi Everyone,
    Hope all's going well. I have configured Content Organizer Rules for my SharePoint application. It's configured properly and its routing documents to the desired folder in other libraries of the site.
    I want these rules to be applied to a particular library, however they get applied to all libraries in the site collection.
    Is there any way to restrict 'Content Organizer Rules' not to be applied on some specific library.
    Thanks in advance,
    Waseem Khan

    Hi,
    We can create a New Rule in Content Organizer Rules, then set the particular library in
    Target Location.

  • How to take list backup with lookup columns data in sharepoint 2010

    Hi friends,
    I have one issue on "Copy the list in one sitecollection to another sitecollection"
    I have one list like "ABC" and with lookup column "Status" this column is looked to anthor list columns
    My task is i want to Copy the same list with lookup columns with Data(lookup columns Data) in one site and restored in another site.
    Error  is Lookup columns Data is not coming.
    How to Copied list with lookup columns data to restored in another list?
    Badri

    i think there is no such method to move the list with lookup column. 
    couple of things which cause the failure, Number Source list may be not available on the target site collection, Column IDs / List IDs different from Site collection a to B.
    I would try to use the backup of site collection and restore it, i am not sure whether it will work not.
    i think copy the data from the lookup clomn in the excel, then move the list to different site collection with blank data then copy the data from excel to new list.
    check this one for another idea:

  • Get-Childitem with millions of files

    Hello all,
    My task is to create a report with all subfolders in a given path, sorted after the newest LastWriteTime on any file in the folder.
    The ultimate reason is to determine which folders have been unused for long enough to move to offline storage.
    So far I've come up with this:
    Get-ChildItem $folderpath | Where {$_.PsIsContainer} | foreach-object { Get-ChildItem $_ -Recurse -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue | Where {!$_.PsIsContainer} | Select Name,DirectoryName, LastWriteTime, Mode | Sort LastWriteTime -descending | select -first
    1}|export-csv $drive:\report.csv
    I know this works, I've tested it on a couple of folders.
    The problem is that the folder I really want to run the report for contains approximately 6.5 million files in many thousands of subfolders. Memory usage goes through the roof, server gets unresponsive, I have to kill the script before users get angry.
    I suppose that PowerShell tries to create an array in memory before actually piping and sorting, and that's the reason for the memory problem.
    Is there a smarter way to do it?

    It is all on 1 line, everything is going through the pipeline, it has to do each part of the pipeline before it`s gets to the next part of the pipeline.
    Do each each folder separately, here is a function to step through a folder structure recursively. Customize it for your needs. The maximum amount of resources used will be limited to one folder.
    function Recurse-Folders([string]$path) {
    Set-Location -Path $Path
    # $L = Get-Location
    # Do something at this location
    [String[]]$Folders = Get-ChildItem "." -Directory
    ForEach ($F in $Folders)
    Recurse-Folders($F)
    Set-Location -Path ".."

  • My computer uses Windows XP.  The latest Apple Update for iTunes ruined everything.  It won't load the software, and I'm getting flooded with error messages.  Is this latest update a bunch of crap?

    My computers uses WindowsXP.  The latest Apple Software Update put the latest version of iTunes on my computer, and now iTunes doesn't work.  I've tried that instructions on the Apple homepage (delete program, reinstall, etc.), and nothing works.  What's worse is that I'm getting error messages every time I log on to my computer.  Is this latest version a pile of pooh?  Anybody know how to fix this?  Or do I need to wait for Apple to figure out where they screwed up?

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

  • My name is Tom: I am sick of spam mail.  Everytme I open wi fi, my mail box gets flooded with spam  800 msgs at once.  Does anyone know how I can filter this crap??

    Again,  Need help to learn to filter spam email, gobs of it!  Thanks, Tom

    1. Check with your service provider and take advanatge of any spam filter settings they have, or blacklisting options they may offer.
    2. You could get a gmail account, and set your current account to forward to it - then let gmails filters catch as much of it as possible.  That will let you keep your current email address in use with those you want to be using it.

  • I am getting flooded with junk emails in my @me account

    Hi i recently have been getting loads of junk emails to my @me acocunt how can i stop this
    thanks

    To get a new iCloud address you would have to create a new iCloud account and migrate your iCloud data to the new account.  If you want to do this, go to Settings>iCloud and tap Delete Account, and when prompted about what to do with the iCloud data choose Keep on [My iDevice].  Then set up a new iCloud account with a new ID, turn you iCloud data syncing back to On, and when prompted choose Merge to upload your data to the new account.  When you turn Mail to On you will get a new @icloud email address (@mac and @me addresses are no longer available).  Once your data is in the new account, you can just delete the old account from your other devices without saving the data on the device, then sign into the new one and the migrated data in the new account will be synced back to them.
    If you need to, you can change your iTunes ID to this new email address.  This guide explains how to change an Apple ID name, but you can follow this and edit the primary email address instead to change it: http://support.apple.com/kb/HE40.
