Make sure you have real passwords for all accounts. If you do a google
search for Les Connor's post on spam you can follow soome of his
suggestions which includes ways to prevent ndrs from clogging stuff
up. I uncheck the box for authenticated users on my servers. I do not
expect outside users to send mail through the server. Only users on
the network physically, through OWA or vpn which means they are
directly hooked into Exchange. There are about 3-5 clicks inside of
Exchange to do things like not accept messages for people not listed
in AD, not send ndrs and other stuff that Les has mentioned.
