I need anti-spam help, please!
I am throwing myself on the mercy of you Exchange gurus who know a lot more than me I am writing this message from my home account. My work address is [EMAIL PROTECTED] I thought I was open relay safe. I found out I am not. Sunday, I got hit with a massive SPAM campaign, and I fear I am still spamming people. Can someone please help me so I am no longer an internet nuisance?!? First, can you tell if my relay is still open? Exchange 5.5 SP4 on NT 4.0 SP6a. If I am, what do I need to do to close it? I am able to get mail from outside the company, but our outbound queue is stuffed. I know how to purge the imcdata\out and in dirs, but how do I purge my inbound/outbound messages awaiting conversion? I am sending out 10's of thousands of SPAM messages regarding getting out of debt. My IMS is running near 100% utilization handling all the NDR's my machine is getting. I am desperate here, Eric mail2web - Check your email from the web at http://mail2web.com/ . List Charter and FAQ at: http://www.sunbelt-software.com/exchange_list_charter.htm

RE: I need anti-spam help, please!
First thing I would do is perhaps block port 25 inbound and out at the firewall temporarily. This will stop mail from going in our out of your company without giving you the annoying DNS issues that come from unplugging your box. Then read and do this http://www.exchangeadmin.com/Articles/Index.cfm?ArticleID=7696 Then, clean out the ques and hold your breath. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, January 08, 2002 5:52 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: I need anti-spam help, please!

I can figure out how to clear the queues for inbound/outbound awaiting delivery, but how about inbound/outbound awaiting conversion? Those are the ones that are killing me...

They probably convert too fast huh? I could see that being an issue. You MAY want to call PSS. They may be able to help out. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, January 08, 2002 6:27 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: RE: I need anti-spam help, please!
