First step is to find out what your connection limit setting is; the default is 160. It's under General, Client Connection Settings. How much spam to you get in an average night? Is your Exchange server sending out NDR on those that failed delivery?

Her first night on the job was apparently uneventful, except for an event she logged at 2:34AM regarding the maximum amount of connections had been exceeded from the Exchange/DC server on the LAN. Any suggestions on how to locate the problem without A) leaving a packet filter running all night b) waiting at the console until 3AM? I do not believe there are any jobs scheduled to run at that time which would create an excessive (whatever the ISA 2004 SP1 defaults are) amount of network traffic towards the ISA server.
