filter incoming messages

My client is receiving a rediculous amount of spam and unfortunatley they have now been blocked by Spamhaus for apparently spamming. After looking into it, it looks like the problem is down to the server sending NDR's for undeliverable incoming mail back to the spoofed email addresses on the incoming message.

I think I've configured things correctly to stop this happening but some step by step guide to confirm this would be useful.

They are running SBS2003.

Hi barnesm6,

Recipient filtering and tarpitting should keep you off those lists

http://www.msexchange.org/tutorials/Sender-Recipient-Filtering.html

This will stop the NDRs from going out.

As for spam, the above will stop a bit of that, but have a look at this about configuring the IMF -> http://www.amset.info/exchange/imf.asp

If that doesn't do it for you, then you will need 3rd party software, such as GFI or Vamsoft (both have 30 day trials)

Hope that helps,
