Suppose that an organization uses an Microsoft Exchange server for emails. How to dump all the emails between the organization to email addresses in another organization for a given period (say all the emails sent and received in the last year)? Is there an easy way to do it in the backend of the Microsoft Exchange server?

For our domain(mydomain.com) , we have an Office 365 account that takes care of emails and the website is hosted with a hosting company on a shared server. From my shared server Laravel App I was sending emails using the office 365 SMTP server. The hosting company now blocks this connection to office 365 SMTP server:
"Please note that your account is hosted on a shared server where outgoing SMTP connections are restricted. This is to protect the reputation of the server IP address and prevent potential spamming.
You canconsider upgrading to a cloud server plan"
I do not wish to upgrade to a cloud server plan, are there any other options for an SMTP server ? , that my Laravel app could use ? I have a reseller account with many cpanel accounts on the shared server. So i could use another one of my domains smtp server but I need the emails sent out to be from an office 365 email address. So contact#mydomain.com. Possible solutions ?
If you are sending emails, its actually not recommended to use the SMTP server used by your normal email provider (e.g. Office 365, GMail).
Instead you should use a transactional email service, which is designed for sending a large number of emails programically.
See:
Sendgrid
Amazon SES
If you are unable to send emails using a particular port (which seems to be your issue), feel free to send emails user their respective API's:
Sendgird:
https://sendgrid.com/docs/for-developers/sending-email/api-getting-started/
and https://sendgrid.com/docs/api-reference/
Amazon SES: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/ses/latest/DeveloperGuide/send-email-api.html
This will still use the usual HTTP ports, and use different ip's, therefore bypass any port & ip restrictions when sending emails.
When a case is created, and emails are sent to the client, the mail syncs correctly between exchange/outlook, and CRM. However when a reply comes back from the client to the service representative, the mails are not automatically tracked as part of the original case that was set even though CRM reference details are present in the email subject line. The track number is correctly injected into the subject of the email and is still present when the client responds.
Our setup is as follow:
CRM : CRM 2016 on dedicated server (all roles)
Exchange : Exchange 2016 on dedicated server (all roles)
SQL : SQL Server 2014 ENT. With DB failover on dedicated server (all roles)
Exchange is configured as Internal Relay, and has outlook anywhere and active sync configured and externally facing. (no other protocols)
CRM mail is configured with Email Profile Authentication using an impersonation account to access and communicate with exchange.
Email accounts are processed using server side synchronisation. And users are using CRM for outlook.
Emails automatically appear in CRM, and can be tracked and set regarding. Appointments and tasks also sync as expected.
The following screen grabs summaries the settings
There are a couple of things that needs to be done here:
Under your Settings > Email, please make sure you add a bit more of digits to the incremental message counter, perhaps to 7.
Tick the box that says "Track emails sent between Dynamics 365 users"
NOTE
For the Emails to create activities in CRM there are a couple of things you need to make sure happens:
- The Customer should reply to a CRM Active Queue
AND
- The tracking subject "CRM:000001" needs to match
I have a requirement where I need to configure my CRM Online with an Exchange Server which is hosted out of my organization's Office 365 to sync Emails for Incoming and Outgoing profiles.
Of the steps, I understand that I need to setup and Email Server Profile of type Exchange that has Server Location pointing to the Exchange Server which I have been using currently. However, I get an error saying that the configuration is invalid and I don't get to save the Incoming and Outgoing server locations. Also, do I need authentication for the same? If yes, of whom should it be? The current Incoming and Outgoing is set to the URL. (Without '/EWS/Exchange.asmx' which is used by default for hosting it on O365.
Any help / links to blogs that effectively explain this would really help.
Thanks !
Supported email service configurations for server-side synchronization
CRM Online only supports Server Side Synchronization with:
Exchange Online in the same tenant in Office365 (mail, tasks, etc.)
Gmail or Yahoo! Mail via POP3/SMTP (mail only)
Anything else is not (yet1) supported.
1 Online to On-Premise SSS is supposed to become supported at some point in the future
There are three ways of handling email processing in CRM:
Server-side synchronization
CRM for Outlook
Email Router
Server-side synchronization does not support hybrid deployments (e.g. CRM Online with Exchange On-premise), as Alex mentions.
I suggest looking into the Email Router. You install it on a machine which is then responsible for synchronizing email messages between CRM and Exchange. For an in-depth explanaion, see Email Router Demystified.
If you also need to synchronize Outlook contacts, tasks and appointments have a look at CRM for Outlook.
I am using Exchange 2007 and would like to pipe e-mails that hit a certain mailbox to a PHP script. Everything I read so far suggests creating an separate e-mail account on a different domain (POP3 or IMAP) and forwarding my Exchange e-mails onto the other account. Then to use cPanel to pipe it to a PHP script.
Is there a native feature in Exchange for me to pipe e-mails so I don't have to set up an additional server?
you can't do it with Exchange 2007, it's not an option in Exchange 2007.
I am working on .net applicaton that need to send emails to clients. I am trying to figure out what would be that best solution to send emails. Here is what i have considered. Could you please suggest what would be the best way to go for?
1>Windows server 2008 in built smtp
service.
2>Exchange server hosted in our
datacenter.
3>Use google apps for sending
emails(Basically same as gmail like
for custom domain).
I have explored all options and below are findings.
1>I think would be way to go. Also
supports drop in directory to send
emails so can achieve disconnected
email activity.
2>Application would be tied up with
availability of exchange server and
we dont have any exchange server
support personal. Only developers
poke around in exchange server and
got it working. So if option 1 is as
good as 2 then would like to go with 1.
Is there any drop in directory feature in exchange server like 1?
3>Tried gmail smtp stuff didnt
work. I was receiving timeout error.
Also there is no guarantee that
gmail will send our mail
reliability. They can decide anytime
to stop sending our mails as we are
using free standard version of
google apps.
Other questions:
I installed smtp service in windows server 2008. Now to use this do i need to change any MX record and anything? What i need to do so it can send email using my domain name. Or it can send email for any domain?
I would use a hybrid of 1 and 2. Use local SMTP, but have it relay to your exchange server. Emails will queue if it can't relay to exchange and you have one server(s) that handle all of your outgoing/incoming mail. This support doc explains this setup: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/303734
You only need an MX record if you'll be receiving mail from that domain too.
I would also put in a reverse DNS entry for your domain, which will help with spam detection.
