Very odd one this...

A lot of the time, when you log onto OWA from outside the network (e.g. the internet from home), insetad of immediately coming up with the password box, it starts to load someone else's mailbox before asking for the username/password. Since the credentials are not for the mailbox being opened, if just comes up access denied.

Close explorer and reopen it and try again... same thing!

(Firefox is even better.... it actually lets you read the messages in the other user's mailbox!)

Clearly this is bad for two reasons!

1 . . a lot of the time our users cannot access their email from home!

2 . . there is the security problem of being able to read other people's email!

We have a front end server in the DMZ with 3 mailbox servers in the internal network.

There are no such problems conecting to OWA from inside the network.
