MEC is back again this year

MEC the Microsoft Exchange Conference is on again this year in April and is shaping up to be a not to be missed event if your interested in Exchange. Unlike other conferences MEC doesn't come around every year which adds to the charm and freshness of the content you can expect to hear. Also the Exchange community are pretty awesome so it is not just the technology that makes this event but rather the people you can meet and listen to.

If your a developer or interested in coding on Exchange there is an Exchange Extensibility track http://www.mecisback.com/Sessions.aspx which covers among other things some of the new things you can do with Exchange 2013 and Exchange Online.  As with many of the sessions at MEC a lot these are being delivered by the people at Microsoft who are responsible for designing and delivering these features, so its one of the only places you can get those hard questions answered or put some feedback forward. The future look sessions also look pretty interesting to get glimpse of the near future.

I'm also really excited about the session I'll be giving at MEC on "Using Exchange as a platform for Innovation" http://www.mecisback.com/SessionDetail.aspx?id=14161 . My session content will be a bit out of the box and different, it might be a bit of an 11 on the technical side as i have a pretty broad scope to cover, I'll be talking on both hardware and software and how you can build Mailbox centric solutions on unconventional devices. So if your interested in what you can do with a Raspberry Pi connecting to an Exchange Mailbox with EWS or interesting in learning how the Maker movement may start interfacing with Exchange then this is the session for you. I hope to have a least 3 unique prototypes to show and a little bit of usually blog type scripts at the end.

You can get all the other details on MEC at http://www.mecisback.com/

Testing and Sending email via SMTP using Opportunistic TLS and oAuth in Office365 with PowerShell

As well as EWS and Remote PowerShell (RPS) other mail protocols POP3, IMAP and SMTP have had OAuth authentication enabled in Exchange Online (Official announcement here ). A while ago I created  this script that used Opportunistic TLS to perform a Telnet style test against a SMTP server using SMTP AUTH. Now that oAuth authentication has been enabled in office365 I've updated this script to be able to use oAuth instead of SMTP Auth to test against Office365. I've also included a function to actually send a Message. Token Acquisition  To Send a Mail using oAuth you first need to get an Access token from Azure AD there are plenty of ways of doing this in PowerShell. You could use a library like MSAL or ADAL (just google your favoured method) or use a library less approach which I've included with this script . Whatever way you do this you need to make sure that your application registration  https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/develop/quickstart-register-

The MailboxConcurrency limit and using Batching in the Microsoft Graph API

If your getting an error such as Application is over its MailboxConcurrency limit while using the Microsoft Graph API this post may help you understand why. Background   The Mailbox  concurrency limit when your using the Graph API is 4 as per https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/throttling#outlook-service-limits . This is evaluated for each app ID and mailbox combination so this means you can have different apps running under the same credentials and the poor behavior of one won't cause the other to be throttled. If you compared that to EWS you could have up to 27 concurrent connections but they are shared across all apps on a first come first served basis. Batching Batching in the Graph API is a way of combining multiple requests into a single HTTP request. Batching in the Exchange Mail API's EWS and MAPI has been around for a long time and its common, for email Apps to process large numbers of smaller items for a variety of reasons.  Batching in the Graph is limited to a m

How to test SMTP using Opportunistic TLS with Powershell and grab the public certificate a SMTP server is using

Most email services these day employ Opportunistic TLS when trying to send Messages which means that wherever possible the Messages will be encrypted rather then the plain text legacy of SMTP.  This method was defined in RFC 3207 "SMTP Service Extension for Secure SMTP over Transport Layer Security" and  there's a quite a good explanation of Opportunistic TLS on Wikipedia  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opportunistic_TLS .  This is used for both Server to Server (eg MTA to MTA) and Client to server (Eg a Message client like Outlook which acts as a MSA) the later being generally Authenticated. Basically it allows you to have a normal plain text SMTP conversation that is then upgraded to TLS using the STARTTLS verb. Not all servers will support this verb so if its not supported then a message is just sent as Plain text. TLS relies on PKI certificates and the administrative issue s that come around certificate management like expired certificates which is why I wrote th
