Directory Replication problems between Exchange sites occur when Message Stamping is enabled in MailMarshal.

This article applies to:

• MailMarshal Exchange 5.2 and below
  • Note: This issue does not occur with MailMarshal Exchange 5.3 and above

Symptoms:

• Directory Replication problems between Exchange sites occur when Message Stamping is enabled in MailMarshal.
• The Directory Synchronization, Directory Service, System Attendant, and Public Folder replication services of Microsoft Exchange are not working correctly.

Causes:

Reply:

1. Create a user group in MailMarshal called NoStamp and add these mail addresses to the NoStamp group:

   DXA2@company.com
SITENAME-DSA@company.com
SITENAME-SA@company.com
SERVERNAME-PubIS@company.com

   Note: For public folder replication, also add SERVERNAME-PubIS@company.com.
   
   These are the mail addresses of the Directory Synchronization, Directory Service and System Attendant services of the Microsoft Exchange server in the site. Each server in the site will need to have these addresses included, and depending on the relationship to the MailMarshal machine, may need to be specified as inbound or outbound rules.
2. In your Message Stamping Rule, exclude the NoStamp group as follows:

   Where message arrives
Except where addressed either to or from NoStamp
Stamp Message with text
