Mail Queue is all blocked up... Hello everyone, I am running Exchange 2000 on an internal server. I am publishing the SMTP Service on my ISA Box, and I am routing all my mail to Xwall (a popular Spam package) which in turn routes mail to the Exchange Box. Xwall runs on Port 25, and Exchange SMTP (incoming) runs on Port 24 (so they can both coexist on the same box). Since Xwall has no knowledge of the users on the system, it accepts ALL stinking e-mail messages, and then forwards them to the Exchange box. Since spammers use blind name lists, attempting to get lucky, and hit all the possible [EMAIL PROTECTED], the Exchange Server wants to send NDR reports to EACH and EVERY piece of Spam mail that comes into the system. So as you can imagine, I have thousands of messages queued up - and it takes FOREVER for a LEGIT message, initiated from a user on the system, to actually make it out of the system and reach the remote mail server for delivery - because it's competing with all these outgoing NDR (and whatever else) messages. What can I do??? Short of running Exchange Raw - so it can deny the message on the spot (since it has direct knowledge of the users on the system), I don't know what else to do. Can anybody help? Are there other suggestions I can try, in order to reduce my mail congestion problem?

RE: Exchange 2000 and DS tolpology query
The obvious answer is to add another domain controller so your "AD" doesn't fail.

Right now its about every 15 minutes. When my AD fails, it takes 15 minutes for it to fail over. Thans about 14 minutes too long for our executive staff. Any suggestions?

A distribution list with no members, that is.

Essentially trying to block SPAMMERS a response for those mails which bounce back to them because of a wrong e-mail address spelling or mail bound for someone who no more exists with my company. As I wrote we'll manually monitor those mails (as we already do now) in a separate exchange mailbox. -Original Message- From: Martin Blackstone [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, October 16, 2003 12:40 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: [SPAM-FILT] - RE: NDR Question - Number of numbers in MIME From exceeds maximum threshold Why would you do that?

I looked all KB but couldn't find a way to do this. I'm running Exchange 2k-SP3.
