SPAM RELAY QUESTION - NEED TO KNOW 1

[JohnKIT05]

There are spam emails sitting in my out imcdata\out folder with the mail from: postmaster@******.com. After reading a book on Microsoft Exchange server 5.5, there is a message filtering in the connection tab of the IMS which I added the email address of postmaster@**********.com. This will deleting any emails from that address to keep it from the out folder. I also have the first two boxes checked in the routing restrictions. Still we are receiving the spam emails. The question do I have a virus or is it a relay spam?. The reason I ask is because I was montioring the imcdata\in and imcdata\out folder and I noticed when the spam email appears in the out folder it does not appear in the in folder before it appears in the out folder. The figured the relay spam has to come from the outside coming in to our in folder then being passed on to the out folder.
By the way, our Microsoft Exchnage server has SP4.
What do you think?

Thanks so much for responding to my problem. The hotfix from Microsoft was the answer to my problem. But I had to edit the registry after I installed the fix.

This website is awesome.

I plan to continue to use this site from now on.
