Re: Spam on Exchange 2003

If your SMTP servers do not support POP3 or IMAP4 clients (and other
internal applications that use the SMTP virtual servers as internal relays),
you could configure a sender filter of @internaldomain.com). That way, your
Exchange server would not accept mail from anyone claiming to be from your
internal domain. I recommend testing this thoroughly before deploying
though. Once you have added the sender filter, make sure that you enable
Sender Filtering on the SMTP virtual server.

Hi,
I'm a bit new to the situation that I'm dealing with so any help would
be greatly appreciated. Since last WED/THURS I have been receiving
spam that is coming from our internal domain (ie. from myself to
myself) I have not seen this recently now it seems to be users like
(b, slba, etc.). I am running an Exchange 2003 server and I have no
idea how to block this or get rid of it. I am only using the Exch
2003 built in Spam including IMF. Could anyone give me an idea of how
to do this. I can provide Exchange Mail logs if necessary

Please Help!
Thanks,
Jeff
