RE: Worrying Exchange SMTP Queue - Now Urgent!

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



Hello Jamie,

Thank you for your update.

I'm glad you find a workaround for this issue.

First, please note the newsgroups are staffed weekdays by Microsoft Support
professionals. Our goal is to provide a one business day response to posts.

For time critical issues (not business down), we encourage you to contact
CSS directly for more immediate assistance:

International Support (non-US/Canada):
http://support.microsoft.com/common/international.aspx

US and Canada:

From your screenshots about the relay settings on Exchange, they are
properly.

I suggest you go through the follow KB and rerun CEICW carefully. The CEICW
will help you to block the relay automatically.

How to configure Internet access in Windows Small Business Server 2003
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/825763/en-us

Detailed steps for your reference: One network adapter - manual router
connection to broadband

a. On the Connection Type page, click Broadband, and then click Next.
b. On the Broadband Connection page, under My server uses, click A local
router device with an IP address, and then click Next.
c. On the Router Connection page, next to Preferred DNS server and next to
Alternate DNS server, type the IP addresses that are provided by your ISP.
In the Local IP address of router box, type the IP address of the router
that the server uses to connect to the router.
d. Click to select the My server uses a single network connection for both
Internet access and the local network check box, and then click Next.
e. A message may appear that warns that the firewall that is provided
cannot be configured. You are offered a chance to view information about
configuration settings for an existing firewall device.
f. On the Network Connection page, click Server Local Area Connection
under the Connection Name.
g. Click Next.
h. Complete the Configure E-mail and Internet Connection Wizard.

Additional, please determine whether the Exchange Server is an open SMTP
relay thru the method in the KB, but not thru the web site.

How to block open SMTP relaying and clean up Exchange Server SMTP queues in
Windows Small Business Server
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=324958

If you have multiple SMTP Virtual Server or multiple SMTP Connector on SBS,
please ensure you also block the open relay on them.

I hope these steps will give you some help.

Thanks and have a nice day!

Best regards,

Terence Liu(MSFT)

| Right limiting the connections to the backup MXers seems to have fixed
the
| problem for now. Email is being received and relaying has been stopped:
|
| "Mail relay testing
| Connecting to mail.johnhenrygroup.co.uk for registered user test ...
|
| <<<
| Relay test result
| Host rejected connection."
|
| Now I need to find the root cause of the open relaying. Then I can get
back
