Just read a little blurb on another site about the new 3G iPhone. They also have a poll going on whether users will buy the new device… I wonder if adding ActiveSync will help them gain more Enterprise users.

Competencies
As one of the requirements for attaining Gold Certified Partner status, Exchange My Mail had to declare a Microsoft Competency. Microsoft Competencies are designed to help differentiate a partner’s capabilities within specific Microsoft technologies. Each competency has a unique set of requirements and benefits, formulated to accurately represent the specific skills and services that partners bring to the technology industry.
• Advanced Infrastructure Solutions: The Advanced Infrastructure Solutions Competency is designed for partners with proven expertise in designing and/or implementing complex infrastructure solutions such as Hosted Microsoft Exchange. Because customers are increasingly seeking higher availability and uptime, more often they have been looking to work with partners that have the dedication, devotion and expertise to pass this kind of certification. Specializations within the competency are Active Directory and Identity Management, Exchange Migration and Deployment, Hosting Solutions, System Management and Storage Solutions.
• Networking Infrastructure Solutions: Microsoft Gold Certified Partners enrolled in the Networking Infrastructure Solutions Competency have proved their expertise in implementing technology solutions based on either the Microsoft Windows Server 2003 or Windows 2000 Server operating system, with a particular focus on Microsoft Small Business Server 2000 and Windows Small Business Server 2003. These implementations may include crafting solutions that connect Windows-based servers, PC locations and the Internet; installing a server farm; or building a small-business Windows Server stand-alone solution that includes file and print capabilities.
The Microsoft Partner Program was launched in October 2003 and represents Microsoft’s ongoing commitment to the success of partners worldwide. The program offers a single, integrated partnering framework that recognizes partner expertise, rewards the total impact that partners have in the technology marketplace, and delivers more value to help partners’ businesses be successful.

I recently found this great article by Darren Dahl on the Inc.com website about how companies and individuals can save money by outsourcing their IT needs.
He mentioned amongst other things outsourcing Hosted Microsoft Exchange and a bunch of other ways to save money by outsourcing your IT.
We are just a few days away from the final service pack release fro Windows XP, according to Microsoft. Release date is April 29th, 2008.
With hundreds of hotfixes for the 3 year old software already released, this service pack is just in time. This is a real quick way for users to bring their systems up to date. Microsoft says that you must at least have Service Pack 1 installed before installing SP3. This is basically just a collection of previously -released fixes and product enhancements, with a few new features.
Q - What versions of Windows XP will work with SP3?
A: You can apply Service Pack 3 to Windows XP Home Edition, Professional Edition, Tablet PC Edition (any version), or Media Center Edition (any version).
NOTE: SP3 does not apply to the 64Bit versions of Windows XP
Windows XP Service Pack 3 will not include any major new features, but it will include four minor new features that improve the system’s reliability and security.
These new features include:
Network Access Protection compatibility. Announced years ago, this feature allows Windows XP machines to interact with the NAP feature in Windows Server 2008. This functionality is built into the RTM version of Windows Vista as well.
Product Key-less install option. As with Windows Vista, new XP with SP3 installs can proceed without entering a product key during Setup.
Kernel Mode Cryptographics Module. A new kernel module that “encapsulates several different cryptographic algorithms,” according to Microsoft.
“Black hole” router detection algorithm. XP gains the ability to ignore network routers that incorrectly drop certain kinds of network packets. This, too, is a feature of Windows Vista.
That’s it folks, nothing fancy… Sorry…
Microsoft has launched the TellMe service for BlackBerry devices. Microsoft seems to want a piece of the market now that Yahoo! has recently announced updates to the oneSearch service.
The TellMe service like oneSearch allows you to speak directly into your BlackBerry device and request such things as a business location, traffic info, movie times, weather, directions and more.
This is extremely useful when driving so users can stay focused on the road. There seems to be more and more of these kinds of services coming online.
The application installs on many BlackBerry devices (The 8100, 8800, 8820, 8830, and 8310) full list available on their website: http://www.tellme.com/you
Have fun..
Receiving invalid NDR bounces?
You’re not the only one.
April 16, 2008 - Postini publishes a Technical Bulletin on the increase in invalid NDR’s.
April 7, 2008 - Spammers have increased their utilization of “spoofing” or “joe-jobbing” (falsifying the from address of an email) in the last few weeks, resulting in some email addresses receiving an increased amount of bounce messages for mail they did not send. Postini is currently capturing the majority of these messages when the bouncing server preserves the original spam content, but if the bouncing server has significantly changed the message then Postini may have allowed this message through as we do do not stop NDR bounces.
Exchange My Mail, Inc offers all of it’s customers Postini Spam and Anti-Virus protection with every mailbox. They do a fantastic job of capturing spam and viruses while letting all the good mail through. Each user has their own login to adjust the filtering settings, as well as add senders or domains to the white or black list.
We are happy to announce that we are once again offering this truly unique service.
SoloSync™, a service of Exchange My Mail, Inc is unique in that the service allows individuals or small companies to connect Blackberry users to our BES ( BlackBerry Enterprise Server ) while maintaining the mailboxes on the in-house Microsoft Exchange server.
With our core service ( Hosted Exchange ) and most all other Microsoft Exchange providers in 
order for a user to wirelessly sync their BlackBerry they must also host their mailbox on our Exchange servers. So a company that has their own Microsoft Exchange server would either have to move the whole company to our Exchange servers so those with BlackBerry can wirelessly sync, or they would have to separate the BlackBerry users from the corporate mail server.
This causes an issue where the BlackBerry users would no longer have access to public folders, company contacts or the Global Address List (GAL).
While this might be ok for many companies and individual users, many of them have problems with this.
Our SoloSync™ service solves these issues by connecting your in-house Microsoft Exchange Server (2000, 2003 or 2007 versions) to our BlackBerry Enterprise Server infrastructure. This is all done without any changes being made to your existing Exchange server, and in most cases no changes need to be made on the firewall if you are using one.
This now allows the end users mailbox to remain on the corporate email server, while we handle the BlackBerry synchronization. Administrators are happy because everybody can stay in-house, Corporate is happy because there is no need for expensive hardware, software, maintenance, updates, upgrades and so on.. End users are happy because they now get real-time wireless Sync with their Outlook.
Limitations:
- Tasks
- Memos
- Folder redirection
- ISA firewall
There are some limitations to this service, for example it will not sync tasks or memo’s. Email, contacts and calendar will sync perfectly though.
In many cases we have found it is very difficult to work with and get the service working properly if you have a Microsoft ISA firewall. This is not to say it won’t work, but it is sometimes difficult, and may lead to setup delays.
Requirements:
- Microsoft Exchange Server version 2000, 2003, 2007
- OWA (Outlook Web Access) protected by a 3rd party SSL certificate.
- Blackberry device with BES level service.
The SoloSync infrastructure is designed to handle hundreds of thousands to millions of users simultaneously without delay or issue.

Apple has released a list of 10 companies that supported the 2.0 beta, including Cisco Systems, Nike, Disney, and Microsoft, just to name a few.
“Enterprise support which includes Microsoft ActiveSync would allow iPhone users to wirelessly sync
their device to our Hosted Exchange servers and provide secure, over-the-air push email, contacts and calendars as well as remote wipe. These are features all of our customers want on their iPhones, and ActiveSync provides that,” says Steven Daneshgar, COO- Exchange My Mail, Inc.
“We have had many requests for full wireless data synchronization, between the Apple iPhone and Microsoft Exchange servers ever since the iPhone was launched. Customers just weren’t happy with the basic IMAP features, so this is great news for all of our iPhone customers,” adds David Grantz, CIO.
Exchange My Mail has always fully supported ActiveSync, and is excited to add the Apple iPhone to that list. ActiveSync is included free on all Exchange My Mail plans.
