Once again, my PC is running out of memory because of the number of open browser tabs, so I’ll convert some into a mini-blog post…<\/p>\n

Outlook forgets how to open HTTP(S) links<\/h3>\n

I recently found that Outlook 2016 had “forgotten” what to do with HTTP(S) links – complaining that:<\/p>\n

Something unexpected went wrong with this URL:\u00a0[…] Class not registered.<\/em><\/p>\n

The fix was to reset my default browser in Windows. Even though I hadn’t changed it away from Edge, a Windows Update (I expect) had changed something and Edge needed to be reset as the default browser<\/a>, after which Outlook was happy to open links to websites again.<\/p>\n

Globally disable Outlook Clutter<\/h3>\n

I had a customer who moved to Exchange Online and then wanted to turn off the Clutter feature<\/a>, because “people were complaining some of their email was being moved”.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, Clutter is set with a per-mailbox setting so to globally disable it you’ll need something like this:<\/p>\n

get-mailbox | set-clutter -enable $false<\/code><\/p>\n

That will work for existing mailboxes but what about new ones? Well, if you want to do make sure that Clutter remains “off”, then you’ll need a script to run on a regular basis and turn off Clutter for any new users that have been created – maybe using Azure Automation with Office 365<\/a>?<\/p>\n

Alternatively, you can create a transport rule to bypass Clutter<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Personally, I think this is the wrong choice – the answer isn’t to make software work the way we used to – it’s to lead the cultural change to start using new features and functionality to help us become more productive. Regardless, Clutter will soon be replaced by the Focused Inbox<\/a> (as in the Outlook mobile app).<\/p>\n

Don’t run externally-facing mail servers in Azure<\/h3>\n

I recently came across a problem when running an Exchange Hybrid server on a VM in Azure. Whilst sending mail directly outbound (i.e. not via Office 365 and hence Exchange Online Protection), consumer ISPs like Talk Talk were refusing our email.\u00a0 I tried adding PTR records in DNS for the mail server but then I found the real issue – Azure adds it’s IP addresses to public block lists in order to protect against abuse.<\/p>\n

It turns out that Microsoft’s documentation on sending e-mail from Azure compute resource to external domains<\/a> is very clear:<\/p>\n

“[…] the Azure compute IP address blocks are added to public block lists (such as the Spamhaus PBL).\u00a0 There are no exceptions to this policy”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

and the recommended approach is to use a mail relay – such as Exchange Online Protection or a third party service like SendGrid. Full details can be found in the Microsoft link above.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
