Look in at an email header of the emails you receive from the net. Received
entries at the top of the header indicate the path of the email. The top
most Recieved line is the last SMTP server that connected to your Exchange
Server. If the IP address is the Symantic Spam Server Proxy then you can
not block within Exchange Server based upon the IP address. Do you have the
version number and exact product name of your Symantic Spam Server Proxy
because you should double check within their news groups that you cannot
block by IP address.
