Welcome message for newly created user in exchange
error: 550 5.6.0 CAT.InvalidContent.Exception: TextConvertersException
Although not that many but enough to cause a buzz for people complaining as our users are getting this error message when sending an email. Sometimes changing some of the content in the email fixes it or changing the format from HTML to rtf and vice versa works too. But i want to know if this is something that can have a permanent fix.
Our Exchange server version i s15.0 (Build 1367.3)
Remote Server returned '550 5.6.0 CAT.InvalidContent.Exception: TextConvertersException, Agent 'Transport Rule Agent' encountered an unexpected error while handling event 'OnResolvedMessage'.; cannot handle content of message with InternalId 86371792333226, InternetMessageId
Any idea whats causing this?

no mail flow from exchange 2007 to exchange 2013
We are performing an upgradev from exchange 2007 to exchange 2013
mail flows from 2013 to 2007 correctly
but when mails are sent from 2007 to 2013 the mails arent recived
I looked at message tracking and it seems there is not attempt from 2007 to send the mails to 2013
i have checked the frontend recive connector on 2013 and it has the exchange servers (and legacy) checked as well as echange authentication
hard direct fail and no available shadow servers
I was going through message tracking, external user may not be receiving emails from us, and I ran into these two errors I had not seen before, Hard Direct Fail and No Suitable Shadow Servers.
the email in question is being forwarded from an AS400 through our Exchange 2013 through a relay connector, also we have two Exchange 2013 servers and a witness server to form a DAG group.
does the shadow server refer to the 2nd exchange in the DAG group?
I ran several status checks on the DAG group, and status appears to be ok.
SMTP Relay with basic authentication resulting in smtp;550 5.7.1
Background-I want Sharepoint (on-prem) to send emails through our Exchange (on-prem) receive connector using basic authentication.
Setup
- On the SP server, I installed/created an IIS SMTP Virtual Server that relays to our Exchange server using basic authentication. The 'user' is a newly created service account for this very purpose (we called it abc\exchangerelay).
- On Exchange, we created a receive connector that receives mail from the IP of the SP server with 'Basic Authentication' enabled.
At this point... I initiate an email and it just sits in the queue of the IIS SMTP VS.
As a test, I throw my service account (exchangerelay) into the 'Organization management' (OM) role group (on Exchange). And taa daa.... it works.
I proceed to remove 'exchangerelay' from the OM Role group and copy the OM group and rename it to 'Relay Group'....so it has all the same roles as the OM group. I put the 'exchangerelay' service account in the newly created Relay Group. And an email test results in a error.
smtp;550 5.7.1 Client does not have permissions to send as this sender
I've seen some posts about enabling the send-as permission on this account....but it appears as though it needs to be applied to the users' mailbox. But this is a service account and doesn't have a mailbox...but perhaps I'm interpreting it wrong.
That said.... the newly created Relay Group has all the same roles as the Organization Management group... so why is it not working?
Any help is appreciated.
421 4.7.1 Recipient quota exceeded
Good Day
I'm currently struggling to clear out the mail queue with the emails from one source sent to many (internal to internal) showing up with error "421 4.7.1 Recipient quota exceeded"
I've also changed the maximum number of recipients to unlimited under "organization transport settings" to see if it would clear out the emails but no luck
Any help would be appreciated
Thank you

Exchange 2013 - Missing Receive Connectors
Hi,
I'm facing an issue on my Exchange 2013, that I suspect that can be related with Receive Connectors. When I access to Exchange Admin Center and go to Mail Flow -> Receive Connectors I got an error message:

Event 12017: An internal transport certificate will expire soon.
Hello support team,
I'm seeing this Error in the Application log on an Exchange 2016 server. I am aware of an upcoming renewal for our SSL certificate for mail.domain.com. However, I'm not sure if this is related to the same expiration.
How can I check and verify?
Thanks in advance,

strange bounce back in outlook
Hi all,
I'm experiencing such a strange issue. When using Outlook client to send to a bunch of users(internal and external),I will receive a bounce back which shows that I cannot send email to that recipient. The bounce message is sent by the system administrator,
and the message header is Empty, no delivery record in delivery report. What triggered the bounced email? Anyopinions will be appreciated.
I'm using Exchange 2013 and My Outlook is Outlook2010.
Mails from OWA and Outlook are getting stuck in Draft folder, Exchange server 2013.
Hi,
I have recently installed Exchange server 2013 for the communication of Internal users, It was working fine for two days and mails were flowing In and Out with out any issues. Suddenly all mails sending are getting stuck in Draft folder... tried resolution steps like editing DNS lookup from ECP and others steps related to DNS, but nothing is working, Still the mails are stuck in draft folder.. Please help to resolve this issue..
Note: Exchange server 2013 was installed after removing Exchange server 2003 from the domain.
Thanks,
Sadesh Kumar P S
Exchange 2013 doesn't receive external emails sent to default domain. Hybrid environment.
Hi,
Echange2013-Office365 hybrid mode.
My problem is that when someone from outside the organization sends an email to @company.com (defaut domain) on-prem exchange and O365 exchange won't receive it. But if it is sent to @company.onmicrosoft.com, then o365 exchange receives it.
The server which hosts exchange is a DNS server as well, but nothing was changed in the DNS entries.
Windows server 2012 r2.
Before this error occoured, I was installing a VPN role on the server. But after the first signs of errors, I removed that role.
Could it be something with the NICs? I think VPN wizzard configured the Nics and I also added in the vpn wizzard somewhere DNS servers. Later I checked the NIC and removed secondary DNS - Primary DNS is the server itself. (1.0.0.27) - But it still doesn't work. Again, the VPN role was removed so it should not interfere with the NICs anymore.
We are in trouble and help would be greatly appriciated.
Thank you all,

On-premises Exchange server transport rule usage
Hi,
Any Idea, how to identify on-premises Exchange server transport rule usage? We have multiple transport rules, need to identify the usage and clean it up. Thanks
Changing the output of a PowerShell script
I created a PowerShell script that looks at Exchange mailbox database health and returns a 1 for healthy/mounted and a 0 for suspended. The script works well; trouble is some of our Exchange server have many databases so the output can be up to 8 number
1's.
I would like to return a single number 1 if ANY mailbox database is not healthy/mounted on a server.
I'm stuck.
Script:
Any suggestions would be great!

Exchange 2013 On Prem - OOTO / NDR Replies Fail DMARC Authenication Outbound
Overview - 3 On Prem Installations of Exchange 2013 on Server 2012 R2 in a DAG configuration. All exchange boxes are running build 1367.3.
Issue - Automatic Replies (Out of the Office) and NDR responses from users are failing DMARC checks on the receiving end / being bounced. This is because the Return-Path header value and Mailfrom header values of both NDR and Automatic replies are set to null or <>. This results in the DMARC not having a domain to query against, so the DMARC fails all checks and the recipient domain bounces the email.
The reason why the headers are set to null is because of RFC 2298 - this makes sure that the automatic replies / NDRs do not keep going back and forth, creating an email loop that could potentially bring the servers down. However, RFC 2298 forces RFC 5321 MailFrom header as <> or null, which doesn't give a DMARC policy anything to pull its query from, thus the DMARC fails and the email is bounced. To visualize this -
NDR/OOTO Response:
MailFrom: <>
From:Email@domain.com
HELO/EHLO: mail.outboundsmtp.com
DMARC Fails
Normal Email:
MailFrom: Email@domain.com
From: Email@domain.com
HELO/EHLO: mail.outboundsmtp.com
DMARC - Passes - the policy has a RFC 5321 header to pull its information to query DNS and passes.
The reason the DMARC policy is pulling from the 5321 header is to help prevent spoofed emails, where the envelope header may possibly be spoofed, which would then pass the DMARC check, allowing a spoofed email into the domain.
My question is for anyone that has a strict reject 100% or quarantine 100% DMARC policy, how did you overcome this? Are you just allowing your NDR/OOTO replies to be bounced / rejected?
I've tried 2 solutions. Main idea behind my solution was to remove the null value or <> and replace it with a donotreply@domain.com address so that the DMARC has a RFC 5321 header to run against, thus both RFC 5321 and 5322 domains would technically align and pass the DMARC query.
1. We use mimecast as our email gateway / filter. I've tried to create an address alteration policy going outbound looking for <> as the header value to then input donotreply@domain.com into the header, but mimecast cannot detect the <> value in the header because it is technically null or blank. Using a "null" value doesn't work either. You cannot leave the value blank because some type of syntax is needed for the policy. Opening a ticket with mimecast, L2 engineers confirm that it is working as expected and this is a Microsoft / on prem deployment issue.
2. Attempting to use a transport level policy to insert a donotreply@domain.com address into the header doesn't work either. I believe something in exchange is preventing the transport policy from executing. The policy I configured was anything with subject"Automatic Reply" or "Undeliverable" change header property of "Return-Path" to "Donotreply@domain.com" and "MailFrom" to "donotreply@domain.com. Doesn't work and tests to google / gmail do not pass dmarc still and show null values.
For reference, I found 2 other issues on technet with the same issue. One solution proposed was to use an outside tool to manipulate the emails going outbound to rewrite the headers so that the DMARC has something to run against. Link here: https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/9d17cd55-36b0-4d00-8114-d7f1e54fc725/dmarc-test-fails-on-out-of-office-replies-but-not-on-regular-emails?forum=Exch2016MFSM. Another extremely well explained post is here: https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/51519377-48f5-4833-ac0d-4128eaf9c25e/how-do-you-setup-dmarc-to-allow-null-returnpath-rfc5321mailfrom-messages-out-of-officendr?forum=onlineservicesexchange
I cannot imagine this being intended nor do I think that a transport policy or using a third party tool to correct this is a real fix, but a work around for the issue.
Any help is appreciated.
Cheers,
Jason
