Well, the logs will show. Also, you can open up ESM and under the SMTP VS, look at the queues. If you see an awful lot, you are probably an open relay. Also, if you post the IP address of the server, it can be tested. John Tolmachoff Engineer/Consultant/Owner eServices For You -----Original Message----- From: Lim, Arthus T.

Last thing though, how would I know that I'm being usied as a spam relay? -----Original Message----- From: John Tolmachoff (Lists) [mailto:johnlist@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, January 04, 2005 3:26 PM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] RE: Large SMTP log http://www.MSExchange.org/ Rename the log. Wait a few minutes and it will be recreated. Then rename when maybe a few MB in size. Then you can open it.

They record the activity that's taking place. Could be dictionary attack, could be you're being used as a spam relay. Look at the logs. _____ From: Lim, Arthus T.
