How do i configure my exchange server (SBS2003) to use reverse dns lookup to block incoming mail like other servers do.  I'm looking to cut down on junk emial and i know this would help.

In properties of "Default SMTP virtual server" go to Delivery tab, click Advanced delivery and you will find checkbox "Perform reverse DNS lookup". This option is reported to slow down your server and there is another catch, are you sure that all your senders have proper PTR record, for reverse lookup to work correctly?

This is something that if you can do if you upgrade to Exchange 2007:

In Exchange it's called SIDF (Sender ID Framework)
Forced accept.
