you need to get spam software installed on a dedicated machine (gfi have a 30 &nbsp;day free trial on <a href="http://www.gfi.com" rel="ugc">www.gfi.com</a>) installed &nbsp;( a desktop would do) to filter the incoming email<br />
also i would enable recipient filtering on the ex server as this stops email being sent to users who do not exist in AD<br />
is your ex server secured for relay?

Hi All,<br />
<br />
My exchange server is under spam and phishing attack. We have a firewall unit but that does not support spam filtering.<br />
Since 2 weeks thousands of emails are coming in and out from the exchange server which is not legitimate. I am using Exchange 2003 Enterprise server with SP2 and IMF turned on with settings 7/6.<br />
Can you somebody tells me few tips that how can I protect my server from these attacks. All these emails are eating up all my Internet bandwidth and all users are getting emails undelivered which they never sent.<br />
<br />
If you need any other information let me know.<br />
<br />
Thanks<br />
