I am having Windows 2003 with IIS 6.0 SMTP enabled.
I am running many websites in the server. I am getting dozens of warning messages in my server event viewer.
**** The problem is that i get dozens of errors messages every day in the system event log on the SMTP relay (win2003 web ed. running IIS smtp relay). Each message is to a different host and they all are mail
to destinations that my users have not sent mail to different IP and domain. It looks like my relay is being used by spammers.
