Re: SMTP Blasted

Can you post the error? I would verify you don't have a virus on your local network trying to send email. I've seen malware send 30,000 messages in just a few minutes. Please post the error message. That would help. Also enable logging on the smtp server, this can help determine where the message are coming from.

This question never gets answered but I'll give it another try.
Windows server 2003, set up smtp and pop3.
As soon as I start smtp (from IIS) I am hit with literally hundreds of
warnings (Events viewer) about sent email being blocked.
But not only have I not even tried it yet (sent a message) but the damn port
is blocked on my firewall - 25 is closed!

What the heck is this? Not only do I not want to fill the log with this crap
but it takes my bandwidth as well.
How could it be accessed if the port is closed? I tried several port test
sites and all confirmed it was closed.

I can't be the only one who has this issue. Is there anyway to run a pop3
mail server and block this crap?

Thanks,
Steve
