I've been getting a lot of email in my Exchange 5.5 queue with unknown sender, I dont have a spam guard. The emails aren't for my domain, they look like spam. Is there a way I can block email in Exchange 5.5 with an unknown sender?

Spam filtering wasn't as big a problem back in the days of Exchange 5.5 so there is really no method to filter mail without upgrading to 2003. You may need to locate a third-party piece of software that will perform the filter before it hits the queue. The other option would be to setup a rule for each user that will automatically delete any mail messages that have Unknown Sender in the Fromt field.

Unfortunately with the number of viruses that circulate the internet at any given time, tons of junk mail float around with them. It may be just a matter of waiting patiently for the spam to die down.

Hope that helps!
