I'll second the chime-in on Vipre for Exchange. The Anti-Spoofing alone saves us from looking at quite a bit of spam. Plus - you get A/V, Disclaimers, RBL and SPF checking.

If its hosted created exemptions for those IP's. If you have a website generating email with your domain create an exemption or an SPF record and do SPF filtering. If your firewall doesn't do it do you have any spam software? If not might I suggest the list hosts software, Vipre for Exchange. From: Murray Freeman [mailto:mfree...@alanet.org] Sent: Wednesday, May 26, 2010 2:30 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Spoofed Email Our domain name is "alanet.org", and lately we are getting hammered by sp**m sent to alanet.org.support. It's obvious that the actual "sender name" in the email is a staff name, and the "alanet.org.support" is the display name. Does any one know of a filter or rule that can utilize the display name to do the filtering?
