Unwanted e-mails in Exchange Store




 Hi - we have Exchange 2003, which we backup with Veritas Backup Exec v10 ..
In the daily backup job log, there is a list of e-mails in the Exchange mailboxes which fail to backup - skipped mainly because they "fail to verify" or "are in use" as per the following example :-
Access denied to file SMTP
(CLMNT6-{3099996F-D4BC-4AC3-A025-714CCA35EC6C})
[{3099996f-d4bc-4ac3-a025-714cca35ec6c}]&TempTable#1�&Fwd: African Finance.
The item \CLMNT6Microsoft Exchange MailboxesSMTP
(CLMNT6-{3099996F-D4BC-4AC3-A025-714CCA35EC6C})
[{3099996f-d4bc-4ac3-a025-714cca35ec6c}]&TempTable#1�&〰〰〰〰ㄲ㑥㙥捣挲ㅤ㜶愴摡㔹㕢扤㝦㐶散㜹㜰〰㔸㐶㤸㙢慥搳扢昴㥢㉢〷愱㔶搶挲戴〰〰〰〰〰昲〰〰㔸㐶㤸㙢慥搳扢昴㥢㉢〷愱㔶搶挲戴〰〰〰ㄶ扢愰〰〰Fwd:
African Finance in use - skipped.
V-79-57344-33928 - Access is denied.
These problem e-mails appear all to be "spam" which have been deleted from the user's mailbox completely (and deleted from the Deleted Items of their mailbox) - yet these mails still appear to be stored somewhere in the mailbox store on Exchange?!?
Is there any way of searching for and deleting these unwanted emails completely from the Exchange Server store?
Many thanks
If you’ve got the properties for the store set to never delete mailboxes or items until the store has been backed up, I believe those emails will continue to exist in the store/mailbox. Perhaps this is the reason why you can still find these deleted emails.


It seems you’re performing brick-level backups. Perhaps you should try backing up the store first, to clear out all those emails before continuing your brick-level backup jobs.


Let me know if you have any follow-up questions.

if you want to access specific mailbox you have to use xmerge to export that specific mailbox edit whatever you need then imported back using xmerge as well

the problem has been solved.

i got in contact with our provider and they were able to apply the proper access to the folder for verification.

thank you for all of your help and patience. this thread can now be closed. so after many late weekend nights of research and troubleshooting, i found the solution to the problem.  directaccess had taken over the ports that the health service and the client backup service ran on.  it was right in front of me but having the services run without issue confused me.  

tcp 6602 (used for status) tcp 8912 (used for backups)the elevated powershell command that fixed everything was:set-netnattransitionconfiguration –ipv4addressportpool @("x.x.x.x,6001-6601","x.x.x.x, 6603-8911","x.x.x.x,8913-47000")  replace x.x.x.x with the internal ip of your essentials server.  credit given to the admin and eric at

Hey there ([@MCM1](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1017843)), sorry to hear that you found the email suspicious; I can confirm it is a legitimate Dropbox email. If there's [no activity](https://www.dropbox.com/help/security/email-about-inactive-account) on your Dropbox account for an extended period of time, Dropbox will notify you—or the account owner—in an email. To keep an account active, all you need to do would be to [sign in](https://www.dropbox.com/login) & we'll know you want to keep it. 
 
Hopefully my post addresses your concern however please do let me know here in case I’ve misunderstood your request in any way. Thanks for posting us on our Community & I’m wishing you a wonderful week ahead!

[View solution in original post](/t5/Dropbox-accounts-billing/I-have-received-an-email-stating-that-my-dropbox-account-is/m-p/331924#M26879) i see 3 types of "faceless mailboxes"1) outbound only sent by apps and/or appliances. those are easy. setup a smtp relay in house and a connector at the o365 end. 2) mailboxes that don't belong to any one person but are monitored by humans in addition to their personal mailbox. set up a shared mailbox3) mailboxes that are monitored by an automated process. setup a real mailbox. license exchange only or no more than business essentials/e1 Hi Lena,

Message Center deliveries are Continuous deliveries. As soon as you get a new event related to that delivery, the email delivery status will get set to InProgress followed by Finished or Retry Pending.

Before deciding on deletion, we should help identify why it is failing. Definitely there is something wrong on yoru template.

If you fix that, this problem will go away.

Can you please point out the error that causes the delivery to fail?

If you still wish to get rid of problematic delivery, right click on its record in List View and hit Stop.

Regards,

Vipul

Here is the link to gmail support website : 
  

  
<https://support.google.com/mail/?hl=en#topic=3394212>
  

  
or use this account recovery [form](https://accounts.google.com/signin/recovery?hl=fr&ard=AHwGkRn_INMwM1maYDEUIHVZNP2OO33Anf9X_3sYq47TUs9Cf0K0IB4M1yZT79Q7tGqRtj6I5pU_YOJStf9xC56SlvhqWQChjjt1VG7X120zprR1Mdv5kGAWPQxPv-CIeEO1l4gGKbVhqD0LvkrQ7xMKE_xYOy6Gow&fpOnly=1)
  

  
On the other hand, if you have not used your Gmail account for over 30 days, it may have been deleted. You must then create a new one, insuring that you note your password and security question and store it a safe place, remembering where the safe place is.
  

  
Best regards oh my god … i have to appologize very, very much for wasting your time. as so often the problem is sitting in front of the screen :frowning:

i am using certbot inside a script where i make a backup of the /etc/letsencrypt folder, stops apache, on so on …

my mistake is, that my backup of /etc/letse… what the he... i didnt even know a person could get that many messages! how long have you been collecting them, unchecked and...unread?!?!? hi there @adsoma
we understand that you are unable to send emails out.  according to that posting that you have sent, there is an email that you need to forward that email message to.  that email address is: abuse\_rbl@abuse-att.net, and they will review your request and they will support you. 
 
thank you for your patience in this matter.
