The classic SMTP error code consists of three digits (e.g. 220 mail.domain.tld SMTP ready.). The ESMTP status codes are additions to the classic code and consist of digits devided by dots (5.1.1 User unknown.). Many times you see both types of code combined (e.g. 550 5.1.1 User unknown). Find below a list of the most common codes:
2xx Request ok. Go ahead.
220 Mail service is running (ESMTP ready).
221 2.0.0 Closing connection (Mail received successfully, Goodbye).
250 2.0.0 Message accepted Read more [...]
Have you ever wondered what the default pattern matching string for the proxy URL settings in BES means?
.*://.*(:\d*)?(/.*)*(\?.*)?
Well, this is Java RegEx (Regular Expression) language. Find below some examples that help understand the RegEx:
. matches exactly one character
.* matches any number of characters (including 0), short for .{0,}
.+ matches one or more characters, short for .{1,}
.? matches zero or one character, short for .{0,1}
.{7} Read more [...]

In Sharepoint Foundation 2010, there are menu items and ribbon buttons that allow you to edit things in Sharepoint Designer. If you haven’t got Designer installed, you get a pop-up a message, saying “Download Sharepoint Designer”. This even happens if you disallow Sharepoint Designer in the Web Application properties. The easiest way to get rid of those items is to modify two files in the Sharepoint installation. Remember to make copies of the original files before editing. Also remember that Read more [...]
Here's a list of Hidden Menus & Functions I've stumbled across. Some of them are handy for BES/Enterprise support only.

Enterprise Activation (Options->Advanced)
ALT+CNFG - Settings for Enterprise Activation
Address Book
ALT+VALD - Validate the data structure and look for inconsistencies
ALT+RBLD - Force a data structure rebuild
from the Options menu, Read more [...]
With the Blackberry Enterprise Server you can have the Router component on a separate server in the DMZ. Recently, I had to move this service from one server in the DMZ to another. Here is how to do it: Install the router component to the new server (this will install the Blackberry Controller and the Blackberry Router service). Make sure that port 3101 is open from your BES to the new router and from the router to the RIM infrastructure on the Internet. On the main BES, start the “BlackBerry Read more [...]
In Kerio Connect, the filtering of personal mails is based on the filter language Sieve. As I didn't find many good samples in the Web, find below some interesting ones. I will update when I have new ones:
if allof (
header :contains "Subject" ["rma *","* rma","* rma *","rma"],
address :all :contains "Cc" "[email protected]")
{
fileinto "RMA";
keep;
}
This copies any mails to the folder RMA that match the following criteria: The subject of the mail contains the word RMA and the mail has [email protected]Read more [...]
I get this question asked a lot by new Blackberry users. The simple answer is: The Blackberry smartphone is not a full-fledged mail client and you should not (ab)use it as one. By default, you have the mails of the last 30 days on it. But why the limitation? There are users that have very big mail boxes with ten thousands of mails, the maximum I have seen is a mailbox of 17 GB. It is clear that a device with 256 MB memory couldn’t store all the e-mails, even if they were compressed. So what do Read more [...]
In the Blackberry Enterprise Server, you can configure that you get notified by e-mail when something critical happens to the BES Servers. For example, if the connection to the SQL Server is lost, you can get notified. Here is how to configure the alerts:
In BlackBerry Manager, highlight the BlackBerry Enterprise Server and click Edit Properties.
Click on the BES Alert option.
In the SMTP Hostname field, type the DNS name of the SMTP gateway.
In the SMTP Account Name field, type the Microsoft Read more [...]
The Internet Proxy configuration is a setting of the MDS Connection Service (MDS-CS). This means, if you have the MDS-CS on several servers (e.g. in an active-standby server setup), you have to configure it on all instances. Configuring the Internet Proxy correctly enables your Blackberry users to surf via your companies network (using the MDS Browser). To set the proxy configuration up for on instance, see the following steps:
Go to the Blackberry Management Console and click on the MDS-CS instance Read more [...]
