I would go into the global settings, and make sure your IP is whitelisted . the other option is to create a new smtp connector on say port 26 or a new IP and then don't filter that so you can use that as your test between you and the barracuda ..

I guess my entire rant boils down to trying to understand why filtering is ignoring my white listing. I forgot to mention something else, a few months back when I started looking in to this I discovered (thanks to this list) that none of the filtering types were even checked on their SMTP virtual server. So if I understand it right they had filtering configured but weren't actually using it. Yet they still had lost messages. I know it's not user error because I turned on journaling and don't see the messages there either. I wish I could just rip it out but at this point it's a job for another life time.

I think you have to restart the service too afterwards .. Even though you may have whitelisted yourself who knows what the filter is doing bound to smtp .. turn it all off. From: N Parr [mailto:npar...@mortonind.com] Sent: Wednesday, August 31, 2011 5:20 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Need advice with 03 Filtering Have a sister company I now support that has been using SBS03 for years with nothing but message/sender/connection filtering. They tell me they have always had problems with random emails not being received. Sender resends and they get it. So I pointed their primary MX to my Barracuda and had it then deliver their mail over our VPN link to their server. This gives me ability to see exactly what is received and delivered. So yesterday they show me an email re-sent to them that shows it was originally sent earlier and not received. I find the original email in my Barracuda and it shows successfully delivered to their server. Nothing is their junk email in outlook and no one received it. I have all our IP's, domain, etc white listed on their SBS server so nothing from us should be getting blocked. Even before when their primary MX was on their IP they would miss emails from us and we were white listed. Am I missing something else? I've never used the built in filtering in Exchange before and am not to familiar with it. The advanced settings on the SMTP Virtual Server properties shows that only connection filtering is being used. It's to the point where I'm going to stick my old Barracuda, before I went to the virtual appliance version, on their IP (which is now their secondary MX) and turn off all filtering on the server. --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe exchangelist --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe exchangelist --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe exchangelist --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe exchangelist
