Exhange 2000 Relaying
I have an issue with my exchange server, i,ve tried several tools to test my server for relay and all of them shows that my server doesn´t relayed messages, however it does received the spam attacks, i,vel already assigned a list of trusted sites that have acces to my server and perform the relay, but what i want is stop my server from receiving this lists.
can anybody help me out????

What do you mean by "it does received the spam attacks?" Disabling relay doesn't mean that spammers won't <u>try</u> to send spam through your server. It just means that your server won't forward non-local messages to other servers.
