the network does not have a fire wall or proxy. just a router. How can i protect my users from recieving 20 x-rated emails on a daily basis. We do run exchange 5.5. Since the e-mails come from diffrent places it will be hard to block them at the explorer. Any advice will be appreciated.

Thanks.

You can use the message filtering capability if you have Exchange SP2 or later on your server (if not, you should load the latest service pack anyway). This option is on the Connections tab in the Internet Mail Service properties. It allows you tofilter messages coming from specific email addresses or entire domains. TechNet article Q245465 has specific instructions (go to www.microsoft.com/technet and search for the article number if you don't have the CDs). Hope this helps!
