Re: Relaying turned off Exchange 2003

Bruce

BadMail is not necessarily an indication that you are being used as a relay,
BadMail is mail that cannot be delivered to the user and cannot be returned
to the sender (i.e. spam), I would suggest you apply SP1 as soon as possible
to disable Badmail.

You might also want to look at implementing some anti-spam measures.
