        Hi there Tom,

        Yeah, that was one of my initial thoughts too.  I ran Ethereal
on the mail server and filtered by port 25.  The packets I captured
would display the originating and destination email addresses and I then
verified that they were being queued by using the Message Tracking
portion of System Manager.  All IP addresses referenced in the packets
were from outside sources.  It has me stumped!

                Hi Craig,

                Do a NetMon trace and identify the source IP address of
the relayed spam. It could be that your users are infected with a spam
generator and the spammer is leveraging their authenticated connections.

                HTH,

http://www.MSExchange.org/

                        Running Exchange 2000, default settings for the
smtp virtual server... (Anonymous Access - so we can receive outside
email, Basic Authentication, Integrated Windows Authentication all
checked, Relay restrictions set to "Only the list below" which is empty
and "Allow all computers which successfully authenticate to relay..."
checked so that employees can send mail while connected to another ISP,
Outbound Security options set as default - Anonymous Access checked)
                        My server is STILL relaying mail.  I can look in
any number of queues and it's like a clearing house for spam.

                        Any ideas?

                        Much appreciation!

                        Craig
