Exchange 2010 – TLS negotiation on Send Connectors

January 6, 2012

Over the past month of so, I’ve been troubleshooting an issue that I felt I should blog about. What we would notice was that when Exchange receives emails with attachments, it took anÂ awfullyÂ long time to forward the email to the smart host. An email with a 1Mb attachment would typically take between 10-15 minutes to…

August 27, 2011

Last couple of months have been excruciatingly painful. After about 2.5 yrs of hibernation, I decided to finally wake up and update my certifications and get some new ones as well.

Thy Will Be Done – Dr Samuel Krishnamurthy

August 1, 2010

Appacha (aka Dr. Samuel Krishnamurthy) is my Grandfather. He’s been a role model for me through most of my childhood. I’ve learned a lot from him over the years. I would sit with him in his hospital and try and observe as much as I could. He converted to Christianity in his 20s and moved…

TRUST IN GOD

July 17, 2010

As a christian, I’ve been taught that faith is a firm belief that does not rest on logical proof or material evidence. I learned this all through Sunday school. I became a Christian when I was 17 at a prayer meeting. I had some sort of an unexplainable experience that I attribute to God talking…
