Business patchers only – heads up

Joseph Roosen on Twitter: “#Microsoft and #Exchange starting off 2022 with a 💣as of 00:00UTC with freezing transport of all emails flowing through it On-Prem due to failure converting the new date… 🤦‍♂️. Solution is to disable the AntiMalware Scanning temporarily via Disable-Antimalwarescanning.ps1. 1/x” / Twitter

If you have an on premises mail server 2016 or 2019, heads up you have a problem and your mail isn’t running because the malware filter can’t parse the 2022 year date.

The workaround is

set-malwarefilteringserver -bypassfiltering $true -identity [name-of-exchange-server]

Yes that disables the malware filter, hopefully Microsoft comes up with a fix soon. Note hosted email is not having a problem. Only on premises email servers.
