mail spam

Here's the Exchange site:
http://www.slipstick.com/addins/content_control.htm

And this is probably the best Exchange third-party utility there is:

Open up the exchnage admin, go to connections/IMS/connections/

You have 2 options:
Message filtering- e-mail address
By host- a single system or a mail server.

Pros of message filtering- will block all incoming mail with that e-mail address.
Cons- if e-mail address changes, mail still comes.

by host- Pros- will block all incoming mail from that host's ip.
cons- if their ip changes then mail will come thru

by server (same place as host)- if you choose to block the server sendingthe e-mail, all e-mail from that server will be blocked, regardless of whether or not it was spam.

Once you do that, you need to start/stop the IMS services. I will post a bat file that easily does this for you. You will need netsvc in the samedirectory that you run the bat file from.

Also, if you block a mail server it is generally a good idea to alert the owner of the server that you are blocking them due to excessive spam.
