Re: Checking Outbound Exchange Email

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

As Lanwench said if the workstations are bypassing Exchange totally to send
out spam etc. then nothing will be seen in the logs. To the OP definitely
block outbound port 25 for all computers except the server.

On the Server management page, expand the Advanced management item in the
left
hand pane, expand Exchange, Servers, Protocols, SMTP; and then right-click
the
Default SMTP server (or which ever on you actually use), and choose
properties. On the General Tab, click the Enable Logging box, and then the
advanced button, and choose what you want to see in the log file.

That advanced panel will also tell you where it is.
