RE: internal spam
All very valid points. I'd add to the mix that the OP's endpoint protection strategy probably wants some looking at. If you regularly fall victim to phishing attacks that successfully infect hosts, then spam is one very small part of your worries - DLP and other such issues may be even higher on the agenda. Many avenues to explore depending on budget and impact considerations, but examining in and outbound web traffic would be a good start (cloud services do *real* well here for once!). In fact, I'd recommend it for your SMTP too, but you obviously already have an anti-spam solution, so may not be possible to replace it. Host protection wise, no local admin is top of the pile (and it *can* be done in any size organisation). Whitelisting is a huge win, but can be a challenge depending on how hands on your IT is. HIDS would have prevented the high-rate spam from the host.

RE: URGENT - Exchange 2003 database on D: deleted!
Almost as scary as the horror story I experienced It was a small company with no money to invest in IT and I had just been hired to try and get some order back in support and let the IT manager get back to DB development which was his area of expertise. I hadn't used exchange before (or even AD, but I was an experienced Novell admin and skills were pretty transferable back then...) From what I remember the server was exchange 2000 and kept running out of space. At the time I had no idea that there were no backups on any of the servers... One morning, not long after I joined exchange ran out of space again and stopped working. The director jumped onto the box and told me he was deleting some transaction logs. I didn't think too much of this until about 5 minutes passed and I looked over and he had turned white and looked like he was going to pass out. Turns out he had just deleted everything from the log directory, but also the database and streaming database as they had all been put in the same place. All too big for the recycle bin too Long story short, after a couple of thousand pounds and many days work we managed to recover nothing of use and lost over 5 years' worth of email for the whole company! Somehow we both kept our jobs too, no idea how.

RE: internal spam
You need to restrict which boxes are allowed to talk SMTP to your SMTP relays. Should only be your exchange servers and a few other boxes, as needed. It’s worth packet-sniffing the SNMP traffic to these boxes (which will identify the spambots if they’re talking SMTP). You need to find at least one infected box and see exactly what it is doing.

Depending on the assistant's work cycle, it may take as long as 1 day (the default work cycle configuration on Exchange 2010) for the comment to be displayed in Outlook. To make the comment show up sooner, you can manually kick off the assistant against a mailbox. Start-ManagedFolderAssistant Mailbox User To have the assistant process multiple mailboxes, you'll need to pipe output from the Get-Mailbox cmdlet, which can use recipient filters to filter mailboxes, or use distribution group membership. http://blogs.technet.com/b/exchange/archive/2011/08/16/retention-hold-and-litigation-hold-in-exchange-2010.aspx From: Heaton, Joseph@DFG [mailto:jhea...@dfg.ca.gov]mailto:[mailto:jhea...@dfg.ca.gov] Sent: Wednesday, February 22, 2012 12:56 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Exchange 2010 Litigation hold I am in cached mode.
