Contents of the .stm File Are Not Scanned When Using Antivirus API, is there a workaround for this? 

The antivirus API that is present in Exchange 2000 Server does not contain the capability to properly scan the contents of the streaming media (.stm) file. Because Internet-based clients store the message content in the .stm file in native MIME format, the content is not scanned when the message is accessed by any other client, including MAPI-based clients. For more information about the conditions that must be present for the antivirus API to properly scan message attachments, see the "More Information" section later in this article.

MAPI-Based Tasks Do Not Work with Virus API Anti-Virus Software Running on the Exchange Server Computer, is there a workaround for this? 

This issue can occur if these MAPI operations gain access to a large number of attachments that have not been scanned by using the current virus signatures. The MAPI operations do not determine that the attachments are waiting to be scanned; therefore a timeout error message is displayed if the scans are not completed to make the attachments available to the MAPI request in a sufficient amount of time.

Is there any software to interface a Palm device with Exchange? 

Please check the following link: http://www.palm.com/support/faq/csemailfaq.html

I am trying to put all the contacts under a Public Folder to be accessable using the LDAP protocol. I checked the DS Configuration and the protocol, both were enabled and the port 389 is also correct. Still I am only able to do an LDAP on only the domain Windows 2000 users information but if I try to search a public record then its not accessable. 

LDAP can only be used to access directory information, contacts in a Public Folder are not part of a directory, so they aren't accessible.

Where does the time stamp come from in an OWA (Outlook Web Access) 2000 originated message? 

In the OWA 2000 options, the user can specify a time zone which is the source of the time stamp.

In Exchange 5.5 you could route domains to another domain through the internet mail connector. For instance, suppose I have "company.com" and I have all my email addresses set up for "company.com". Then I buy the domain "mycompany.com." I used to be able to route all email that went to "mycompany.com" to "company.com" without adding the additional emails to my users. Is this still possible in Exchange 2000? If so,where? 

How it worked in 5.5

In Exchange 5.5, if you wanted to route messages for abc.com and xyz.com to one Exchange org, you could: - add the additional domain name to the Routing tab of the IMS - tell it to treat mail for xyz.com as ; then any messages delivered to your Exchange users that had an SMTP domain of xyz.com would be delivered.

How it works in Exchange 2000

You cannot add a local domain. There is Domains node in the UI. The only way to end up creating domains is to: 1. Add recipient policies 2. Put the domains as an address space on an SMTP connector.

In Exchange 2000 where can you set an administrative email address, such that if an email is sent to a recipient that does not exist or is misspelled, the email message will be forwarded to the exchange administrator. 

Go to the properties of your virtual server and go to the 'Messages' tab. Add an entry to "Send a copy of NDR's to".
