Re: Followup to reject: spam site



It was the Symantec bit. We disabled the antispam option and enabled the IMF
and haven't gotten any complaints (yet). cross our fingers.

thanks for your help.

What about the other filters? Recipient filtering? SenderID filtering?
Sender Filtering? I'd also double check to make sure that the Symantec bit
is actually disabled. You might even want to try uninstalling it to make
sure.

Hope the answers below help.

1. I don't know. Where can I find out if there are any RBLs?

3. We only have they Symantec anti-spam and I have disabled it.

2. Our MX records are housed with an ISP. If you do a MX record search
for
asila.org, you get the following. So it would go to horizonsite.com and
see
that the mail.asila.org is at 38.118.210.9 (our exchange server).

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.
