Time Warner is my broadband provider, I have 8 email accounts there. I am using 'Janaserver' as an email server, it collects pop3 mail and sends smtp mail for my local users. I wish/need to be able to filter inbound (pop3 from time warner) mail by sender, what I really wish to do is limit whom my local users can receive mail from. I am not married to 'janaserver' so I am willing to try pretty much anything. Like I stated above my internet email is hosted at Time Warners email servers, so I need to collect POP3 from Time Warner, store them on my local server for retrieval by the local users. Yes my local mail server is physically between my users and the internet so it is providing Web Proxy services also.

What flavor of ms exchange are you referencing? We currently have available 5.0 and 5.5 (they came with NT Back Office 4.0 & 4.5) We have no budget to purchase ms exchange 2000.

To block a specific e-mail address or domain from sending TO your Exchange server:
1. In Exchange Admin, expand your site
2. Expand 'Configuration' and select 'Connections'
3. Select the Internet Mail Service and view the properties (File |
Properties or ALT+ENTER)
4. Select the 'Connections' tab
5. Click the 'Message Filtering' button, just below center
6. Click the 'Add' button
7. Enter either a complete e-mail address, or just the domain portion (for
instance, joel@spamking.com or just spamking.com)
8. OK your way back out.
9. Stop and restart the Exchange Internet Mail service

Note: Exchange SP1 must be installed to use Message Filtering

Visit www.netcplus.com and download an evaluation copy of the BusinessMail email server. It will do exactly what you want it to do and much more.
We use it in our company, and find it faultless and inexpensive.
