Assuming we are talking about Exchange 2000 http://www.msexchange.org/tutorials/Blocking_Incoming_Mail_Using_Microsoft_E xchange_2000.html Now, if you know the IP address of the server that sent the message you can also into the properties for your SMTP Virtual Server > Access > Connections and you can add the offending server to the list of computers that you want to reject connection attempts from.

Normally for me I open up the mail in Outlook click on "View" and go to "Options" to look at the email envelope. You should see which smtp server that is sending these junk. For me I just block the domain from the smtp address. Not foolproof, one time I actually block a ISP in UK.. Ha Ha .. and my user scream at me because her brother is using that ISP... -----Original Message----- From: Jeffrey Robillard [mailto:jrobill@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, November 13, 2002 10:08 PM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] Filtering http://www.MSExchange.org/ We use the built in exchange filtering quite heavily to block the tons of garbage email we get. Adding 5-10 new filters every day is a pain, but its worth it in the long run. yesterday I received a new group of junk mails from a source labeled as.. [%%email.addr%%] How do I add this kind of completely invalid email address to the filter list... and isn't exchange supposed to weed this invalid garbage out anyway? There is no @ sign in the address so I have no idea how to label it in the filter list.
