Exchange2007:Safe Recipients
Refer www.1ask2.com
In outlook 2003 or later, I understand the Safe Senders list without problem. However, I puzzle at Safe Recipients List.
One thing is for sure, which is you should not put your own e-mail address under the Safe Recipients list. If you do, all mail including junk mail goes to your inbox.
Another thing is for you to understand the distribution group or distribution list. If you are the member of SeniorGroup distribution list with e-mail address SeniorGroup@terrace.com, a message sent to SeniorGroup@terrace.com will be delivered to your inbox if you put SeniorGroup@terrace.com under Safe Recipients List.

Within your own organization, you don't need to put the Distribution List under Safe Recipients List. If you are a member of distribution list of Internet domain and you want to receive e-mail delivered to this group, you're better to put the distribution group e-mail address in Safe Recipients List.

Exchange:Import customized Contacts Item folder
Scenario:
Outlook was set up with POP3 account. My Contacts have Contacts and Test Contacts 2008 folders.
Export the whole personal folder to a pst file;
Create a Contacts Items folder with the same name and put it in MAILBOX folder (not contacts folder) as shown below:
Drag and drop all Contacts from old "Test Contacts 2008" to the newly-created Test Contacts 2008" folder;
Remove the old "Test Contacts 2008" folder;
You would have the same address book structure as POP3 account profile.
Outlook was set up with POP3 account. My Contacts have Contacts and Test Contacts 2008 folders.
Export the whole personal folder to a pst file;
Create a new outlook profile with Exchange Server setup;
After importing the pst file to the Exchange server profile, the Test Contacts 2008 folder shows when you click Contacts in Outlook. But the Test Contacts 2008 does not show in Address Book:
What do you do?
Create a Contacts Items folder with the same name and put it in MAILBOX folder (not contacts folder) as shown below:
Drag and drop all Contacts from old "Test Contacts 2008" to the newly-created Test Contacts 2008" folder;

Exchange2007:Hub Site
www.1ask2.com
Least cost path
Site A to Site D has two paths.
Site A+Site B+Site D (cost=5+15)
Site A+Site C+Site D (cost=5+5)
The path A+C+D is chosen.
How do you understand the direct delivery?
After the least cost path is selected, Hub transport server in Site A will directly deliver messages to the Hub Transport server in Site D. The Hub Transport server in Site C does not process the messages at all.
If you want the HUB Transport Server in SITE C to process the message, configure it as a hub site.
Set-AdSite -identity "Site C' -HubSiteEnabled:$true
Why would you do that?
One example will be that a company implements the centralized journaling.
Most of the time, you should not define a HUB Site. For this scenario, if Hub transport server in SITE C does not work, because Site C is a hub site, the messages from SITE A cannot be delivered to Site D.
If Site C is not defined as a HUB SITE, mail is directly delivered from SITE A to SITE D. Direct relay is not affected by lack of network connectivity between SITE A and Site C.

Exchange2007:Message Routing in a Coexistence Environment
www.1ask2.com
Exchange 2003 organization
You should install the first Exchange 2007 server in VANCOUVER Site.
All Exchange 2007 servers belong to Exchange Routing Group (DWBGZMFD01QNBJR). When you install the first Exchange 2007 in VANCOUVER SITE, the routing group connector (two-way) between Exchange Routing Group (DWBGZMFD01QNBJR) and VANCOUVER routing group is created.
All messages that are relayed between Exchange 2007 and Exchange 2003 are routed through the initial routing group connector.
An Exchange 2007 is introduced into Burnaby Site. Tim's mailbox is hosted in Exchange 2003 of burnaby site. Chris's mailbox is hosted in Exchange 2007 of Burnaby Site.
When Tim sends mail to Chris, it will be routed through VANCOUVER Site and come back.
To avoid such excessive routing hops, you can create another routing group connector that connects the single Exchange 2007 routing group to the Burnaby routing group.
To avoid routing loop, modify the registry to suppress link state. Routing loop is a potential situation. It only occurs in a complex environment.
To suppress link state updates on Exchange 2003 or Exchange 2000

After a new routing group connector is created between Burnaby Routing Group and Exchange Routing Group, Tim sends mail directly to Chris without going through VANCOUVER SITE. However, if you want that message sent by Chris to TIM is routed without going through VANCOUVER SITE, you are better to assign the same cost for both routing group connectors.
The lowest cost routing path across routing group connectors is always used, and the Active Directory IP site link cost to reach the first routing group connector is only considered when two routing paths across routing group connectors have the same cost.
In the following diagram, all exchange 2007 servers are in same Exchange Routing Group, even though they are in different site.
Exchange 2003 organization
You should install the first Exchange 2007 server in VANCOUVER Site.
All Exchange 2007 servers belong to Exchange Routing Group (DWBGZMFD01QNBJR). When you install the first Exchange 2007 in VANCOUVER SITE, the routing group connector (two-way) between Exchange Routing Group (DWBGZMFD01QNBJR) and VANCOUVER routing group is created.
All messages that are relayed between Exchange 2007 and Exchange 2003 are routed through the initial routing group connector.
An Exchange 2007 is introduced into Burnaby Site. Tim's mailbox is hosted in Exchange 2003 of burnaby site. Chris's mailbox is hosted in Exchange 2007 of Burnaby Site.
When Tim sends mail to Chris, it will be routed through VANCOUVER Site and come back.
To avoid such excessive routing hops, you can create another routing group connector that connects the single Exchange 2007 routing group to the Burnaby routing group.
To avoid routing loop, modify the registry to suppress link state. Routing loop is a potential situation. It only occurs in a complex environment.

All Exchange 2007 servers are in the same routing group: Exchange Routing Group.
Logical diagram of the routing groups communication:
Messages among Exchange 2007 servers are based on AD sites.
Messages from Exchange 2003 servers to Exchange 2007 and messages from Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2003 are based on Routing Group Connectors (RGC).
Example: A hub transport server in Site A delivers a message to Routing Group B.
Three possible routing paths exist.
Option 1:
RGC-1 and RGC 1-2 (10+10)
Option 2:
RGC-2 (10). The source mailbox is in Site A. Best routing path based on Routing Group Connector cost does not count the AD IP Site Link cost. The message travels from HUB Transport server in Site A to Hub Transport Server in Site B. Site B delivers the message to Routing Group B.
Option 3:
RGC-3 and RGC 2-3 (10+10)
The source mailbox is in Site A. Best routing path based on Routing Group Connector cost does not count the AD IP Site Link cost. The message travels from HUB Transport server in Site A to Hub Transport Server in Site C. Site C delivers the message to Routing Group C and then to Routing Group B.
Best route: option 2.

Routing loop
There are two reasons. If there are 2 or more connectors between two routing groups and primary connector is down, Exchange 2003 will pick the alternate connector (route). Exchange 2003 uses the minor link state method to notify each other about a down link. However, Exchange 2007 does not use the link state. Without knowing a routing group connector down, Exchange 2007 continues to route messages to the down connector.
Let me modify the cost of Routing Group Connectors.
Messages from Site A to routing group B.
Best route is RGC-3 (cost 5) + RGC 2-3 (cost 10).
However, RGC 2-3 is down. Because of the minor link state update, all Exchange 2003 servers know the RGC 2-3 down. However, Exchange 2007 servers don't have any knowledge of down link. Exchange 2007 servers still use the RGC-3 and RGC 2-3 route. When messages reach the Routing Group C, Routing Group C selects the RGC 1-3 path because the RGC 2-3 path down. When Routing Group A gets the messages, it routes them through RGC-1 connector because it has the lower cost.
