Hi Rich It does not really make any difference; here are some links to how Microsoft IT has the SMTP services and message hygiene configured: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=85DC356F-301B-4 E61-B239-870047251997&displaylang=en http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=B1E05053-3E12-4 603-89D4-9C5E5D83CD46&displaylang=en http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=17DC35AD-8BA1-4 8B1-91F3-563313EE878A&displaylang=en Hope this helps Mark Fugatt Dedicated Supportability Engineer (Exchange) Microsoft Limited Desk: +44 (0)118 909 5630 Mobile: +44 (0)7966 858108 MSN IM: markfu@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Blog: http://blogs.technet.com/mfugatt Dedicated to proactively supporting Microsoft's enterprise Customers ________________________________ From: Rich Gallo [mailto:RGallo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: 29 December 2005 15:16 To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] A Litle Advice Needed Sensitivity: Private http://www.MSExchange.org/ Hello All! Does anyone think it is a good idea (or best practice for that matter) to have your outside (DMZ) spam filter SMTP server have a name on the MX record that doesn't allude to what it actually does. For example, let's say I name the server SPAMFILTER and set my MX records accordingly, is that a bad idea? Does it really make a difference, as the type of DNS record it is tells people what the server is anyway? What are your thoughts? What do you do for your organization? Does anyone from Microsoft have any best practices on this? Thanks!!
