Exchange 5.5 - junk mail

[armstrongwar]

Hi,

I have been receiving alot of Junk mail. Now i have put the addresses in the Message Filtering Tab in Exchange but im still receiving from those domains any ideas?

have you restarted the IMS service ?

 

[Flooky]

remember to put the @ symbol in front of any domains
ie @domain.com

Make sure that the domains you are plugging in are real domains. Do an NSLOOKUP and check mail.domain.com or

http://www.domain.com

or in the email (in Outlook at least) you can go to tools and options and see where the email is being sent from.

I have done this aswell but still with no success
is there anything else that it could be

I use our firebox to block out domains now instead of Exchange filtering, but in the firebox config you have to use wildcards *@domain.com

I know in Exchange you can use the wildcard #@domain.com but I have never tried it except for configuring our domain in the routing tab.
