Re: Followup to reject: spam site

IMF doesn't reject messages. It either marks them as spam, or quarantines
or deletes them, but it doesn't reject them. your permissions issues are
also not likely to be causing this problem.

You need to look at:
1) do you have Exchange configured to use any RBL's?
2) is Exchange your first point of entry for e-mail?
3) do you have any other anti-spam products installed?

Answer those questions and you should be in a better place to figure out the
cause.

Summary: We have exchange 2003 sp2

Since last Tuesday, alot of emails sent to our organization are being
rejected with the error message:

38.118.210.9 does not like recipient.
Remote host said: 550 5.2.1 Mail from 68.142.199.118 refused: spam site.
Giving up on 38.118.210.9.

Before Tuesday, we never had emails be rejected for the above reason. I
have already turned off the symantec heurastic (sp?) spam detection. I
changed the IMF to SCL > 9 and no action.

I just did all the MS updates so the IMF has the latest updates.

We are still rejecting emails.

funny thing: Company A could email us back and forth in the morning (4-5
emails) and then all of a sudden, Company A would get a rejection message
and
can not email us again, unless we whitelist their IP.

this has happened to a few domains in the past week.

What can I look into to see what is causing these rejections?

About the ExBPA, I do have that tool, ran the reports and received these
critical issues:

Permission:
Permissions inheritance block on Exchange server object: Access control
list
inheritance is blocked for the exchange server object (CN=sextus,
CN=servers,CN=first Admin group, cn=admin groups, cn=access services,
cn=MS
exchange, cn=services,cn=configuration,dc=tower,dc=as)

Health:
Permissions inheritance block on Exchange server object
Volume shadow copy service update available

Can you explain the two issues? I read the details of the permissions
issue
and didn't understand what I needed to do.
