Guest Busslayer Posted July 18, 2007 Posted July 18, 2007 Someone on our office set our e-mails all to go to his computer. We use a server with x/p and have outlook 2003 on each computer. I have been given the task of reversing this without his knowledge. Where and how do I do that?

Best to ask this question in an Outlook newsgroup.

No end user of e-mail client software can configure the mail server to deliver e-mail anywhere other than to the authenticated user that connects to that mail server. If this user hacked into other employee's accounts then the correct action is to require those other users to change their password and to also disable or delete this offender's account and do so immediately while informing his manager of the corrective action. > We use a server And "server" is WHAT? A POP3 server? IMAP4? Exchange? Something else? > with x/p And that would be Windows XP? Or Office XP? Or some other "x/p"? > and have outlook 2003 on each computer. Well, that only rules out Office XP since that suite includes Outlook 2002. So is it Windows XP? > I have been given the > task of reversing this without his knowledge. If it is a peon then who cares if this employee knows. His manager should definitely know about the abuse and take corrective action against this employee which also means that employee WILL know. If is some higher up boss to which you report then you had better tell him that you intend to undo his efforts; otherwise, he can take corrective action against YOU. > Where and how do I do that? At the mail server. Change the passwords to the hacked accounts and tell those users to reset their passwords from whatever default you used. Password algorithms should prevent them reusing the same old password. Then disable the offender's account. Depending on what server or routers that you use, you could also block his IP address from connecting to the mail server or block his MAC address from getting through that router to the mail server. We don't know your network and mail setup.
Guest Bob I Posted July 19, 2007 Posted July 19, 2007 Re: E-mail accounts Umm, something wrong here, XP isn't a server OS! Perhaps you have an ISP that actually hold the mail account? How many mail accounts are actually there? One? Busslayer wrote: > Someone on our office set our e-mails all to go to his computer. We use a > server with x/p and have outlook 2003 on each computer.

Guest AJR Posted July 19, 2007 Posted July 19, 2007 Re: E-mail accounts By "... server with x/p ...." do you mean the office has a server and users have XP or a XP used as a server? If an actual server is in place (win NT, 2004?) Mail Exchange may be installed and cam be configured to send E-mail to a "central" device.

Guest Busslayer Posted July 19, 2007 Posted July 19, 2007 Re: E-mail accounts Yes, The computer we use as a central server is running X/P Media Edition. Our "computer quy" set this up for one of the owners who is senile. The other owner wants it off but doesn't want to pay computer guy to do it. Complicated!

Guest Tom Willett Posted July 19, 2007 Posted July 19, 2007 Re: E-mail accounts If the central server is running an email server/program, you need to find out what it is and how to find the setting to change the forwarding.

Guest Bob I Posted July 19, 2007 Posted July 19, 2007 Re: E-mail accounts Who provides the e-mail accounts? It isn't on the XP media edition computer. Most likely your ISP has 1 or more account for your company and "billyboy" is simply reading all the email and has set the reader to not leave e-mail on the server. Please verify that this is true.
