Now, for the problem. I cannot send mail to anyone that is not in the gal. Shouldn't I be able to send mail out regardless of whether my domain is reistered? You should be able to SEND mail with a bogus domain, but not receive mail with it. Keep in mind that some ISPs block port 25 (SMTP)

RE: SPAMERS hitting my second MX record?

2003-07-31 Thread PF: Exchange
My first MX record is to dDoxs. My second is to my email gateway, in case eDoxs is down. I'm wondering if spammers can pick up on my second MX record and send directly to it. Actually, it's very common for spammers to start at your lower priority MX records. It makes sense for exactly the

I seem to be getting a flood of transaction log files on my Server, and each log file size is exactly 5 MB (5120KB). Does anyone know if there is a way to restrict the size or manage it. You need to do a backup with an exchange aware backup utility to clear the logs. NTBACKUP works fine
