E-mail

I do not have alocation in China, but for those of you running
Exchange have you thought about using RPC over HTTPS? It uses
certificates on the client for authentication. Check out the link
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;833401#4

This also works well for laptop users that travel a lot and you dont
need to bother with a VPN or OWA.

With that said I am not sure how this will work with China. There
traffic is HEAVILY monitored.

my 2 cents

Sorry, this is not vantage related, but I just wanted to know if anybody has
a location in China and you provide them e-mail here in the states. What do
you use? Do you host it or is it hosted with someone? We are located in Tx
and Wuxi, China. Some days my employees in China can get their e-mail and
other days they cant. Are e-mail is hosted with hostmysite.com. Any input

Chad:

This may or may not help since it sounds as if your email is hosted by an outside vendor.

We have a plant in Eaton, Ohio and one in Suzhou, China. We run an internal/local Novell GrouypWise email system here and intended to have the China folks VPN in to get email. The reality of the matter is connections from/to China are monitored heavily. VPN traffic is not especially reliable, sometimes unavailable. Our folks in China now use the Webaccess portion of GroupWise to get thier email. They access the internet and get a "browser" based version of the GroupWise client. It is still client/server based, they just use a different interface.

My inclination would be that china government censors are at work. One work
around that I used for a rep in china was a terminal server connection, (our
rep could browse the web at will without censorship), but if you are
exchanging documents that would be another issue.

All the previous emails regarding censorship are true. Basically we do the same, we have them access their emails through a webmail function. We have our email hosted externally.

Chad,
Another possibility is that your provider is Blocking Asian Spam with
Postfix CIDR block lists.

I personally maintain a Unix Sendmail access.db hash table and block/deny
ALL Chinese, Korean and Taiwanese IP Blocks not to mention Countries of
Origin (Black listed); then do specific Allows for those specific Customers
and Suppliers we want to exchange email with (White listed).

I suspect your host provider may be doing similar.

# disallowed countries of origin
#
be REJECT
br REJECT
cn REJECT
co REJECT
fi REJECT
pl REJECT
ro REJECT
ru REJECT
th REJECT
tw REJECT

# banned Chinese and Korean IP blocks
# (warning: large list, do not append anything else
# to bottom of this file)
#
59.0 REJECT
.
.
.
222.251.99 REJECT

I also block specific Origin Domains if they make it past SpamAssassin and
my personal Milters.

Here's a few...
# disallowed origin domains
#
dartek.com REJECT
email.pddnet.com REJECT
infousamail.net REJECT
yyhmail.com REJECT
rocketmail.com REJECT
kyokofukada.net REJECT
minisavers.net REJECT
5till.com REJECT
semex.com REJECT
incomebuddy.com REJECT
suntrust.com REJECT
nhcpemail.com REJECT
collegeclub.com REJECT
atkingroup.co.uk REJECT
hot-shot.com REJECT
ivao.zblue.com REJECT
emailaccount.com REJECT
amrer.net REJECT
i-mailbox.net REJECT
flashmail.com REJECT
scsmc.com REJECT
mailcity.com REJECT
x10.com REJECT
yourbigvote.com REJECT
inkgarage.com REJECT
hotmail.com REJECT
citibank.com REJECT

I don't discount the censorship possibility as I also dealt with Saudi
Arabian censorship for the 22 years my parents lived there (1978-2000).
Different country... Same cultural repression.

Funny you should mention this. Just yesterday, 10/10/05, our (2)
China facilities did not receive any email from our facility, they
were receiving it from others though. After reviewing dnsreport.com
my consultant felt that the ISP who had set up their email server had
not done a good job and that mail receipt would be sporatic at best.

My CEO just requested that I look into this issue for some kind of a
resolution. If would be interested if you come up with something.
