Spoofing
In our organization we have Windows 2003 with Exchange 2003 servers running. Recently users are complaining that they are receiving a lot of Non-delivery reports or virus notifications for emails they have not sent at all. I definitely understand that these are due to spam and stuff like that but can you propose a solution to this?

The best solution for this case may be prevention. I would take the following steps:
1. Ensure all client and servers are up to date with there Operating System Patches.
2. Make sure youare running some sort of distributed Anti-Virus, such as Norton Corporate, and verify all clients have the most recent virus definitions.
3. If you have a firewall and router make sure the firmware/OS/IOS are all up to date.
4. if using a firewall, try to filter out the bad emails, for instance, i have a Watchguard Firebox 700, and I am able to set up rules that filter out bad email content.
5. On your exchange server there are may 3rd part applications taht will help reduce the spam and virus distribution as well.
Please let me know if any of this helps, or if you need further assistance.
Thanks!!

Yes, That is 100% correct....in matter of fact i posted a question when i was having trouble getting mail kicked back from one of our clients..
the problem was simple....our company did not have a reverse DNS entry on the ISP server, and the recipient had their mail server set up to reject all emails that come from a source where there is no Reverse DNS entry...
good job badrox...I forgot that one :-)
