Any help is appreciated. 1) Load up the latest security patches for Windows, IIS, and Exchange 2) Put a modern and properly configured firewall up in-front of Exchange 3) http://www.slipstick.com/exs/exs2000.htm (open relay stuff) 4) Decided on an anti-malware system for email traffic. Some more that come to mind: Fortinet (Fortigate Series), Barracuda Spam firewall, Sophos, F-Secure, TrendMicro, Postfix on FreeBSD (as email firewall), etc... 5) Test, test, and more testing: http://www.gfi.com/emailsecuritytest/ http://www.testvirus.org/ etc... ...D ------------------------------------------------------ List Archives: http://www.webelists.com/cgi/lyris.pl?enter=exchangelist Exchange Newsletters: http://www.msexchange.org/pages/newsletter.asp Exchange FAQ: http://www.msexchange.org/pages/larticle.asp?type=FAQ ------------------------------------------------------ Other Internet Software Marketing Sites: World of Windows Networking: http://www.windowsnetworking.com Leading Network Software Directory: http://www.serverfiles.com No.1 ISA Server Resource Site: http://www.isaserver.org Windows Security Resource Site: http://www.windowsecurity.com/ Network Security Library: http://www.secinf.net/ Windows 2000/NT Fax Solutions: http://www.ntfaxfaq.com ------------------------------------------------------ You are currently subscribed to this MSEXchange.org Discussion List as: bdtsb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe visit http://www.webelists.com/cgi/lyris.pl?enter=exchangelist Report abuse to listadmin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
