I am trying to use Katarion to cure our spam problem. Basically I
foward our MX to their server and the spam is filtered out and then
forwarded to our exchange server (SBS2003).

How? Via an IP address? Hostname?

I tried to do this and it
seemed like all the emails stopped as soon as I did it. this the
reply that I recieved from their help desk:

Wher were your MX records pointing previously?


Kevin,

Per our phone conversation, here is the follow-up email regarding your
issue. When the MX records for a domain are changed away from the
server, some servers will automatically assume that they are no
longer hosting mail for that domain and stop accepting messages for
it. Since you maintain your own server, it should be as simple as
finding the file on your server which lists the accepted domains and
manually adding your domain to it. The name and location of the text
file varies depending on the type of server, but it's usually called
either '/etc/localdomain' or 'rcpthosts'.

I hope that helps! Give me a call or email if you have any questions
regarding this.

I have tried search for both of these files with no luck... would
anyone have either a better solution or an idea on what this fellow
is refering too.

Thanks Kevin...

He's talking about a unix-based mail system....not Exchange. Since you're
using SBS.....did you run the CEICW to configure your server to handle mail
for mydomain.com ? Were you previously using the SBS POP connector or
something similar?
