My setup is as follows: [Internet] ----- [ISA Server] ----- [Exchange Server 5.5] Service Packs and all Windows Updates are up to date on all servers. Exchange Server is a SecureNAT client. I ran the mail server wizard to get the Exchange Server to send and receive email. My SMTP filter does not filter out any of the spammers that I tried to block and it does not filter out any specified attachments, such as .vbs Other than the above, I have made no other changes.

W2K server SP3, ISA Server SP1 publishing the smtp server on #2 2. W2K server SP3, SMTP FILTER INSTALLED with IIS SMTP Service installed to forward to Exchange server on #3 3. NT4 server SP6a running Exchange 5.5 SP4 I did have a point where the filter stopped working. After checking all the settings I uninstalled the SMTP filter from the IIS server and reinstalled it. From there it started working again. The following articles helped me. http://www.isaserver.org/pages/article.asp?id=211 http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q315132 Chad -----Original Message----- From: Scheele, Brian [mailto:bscheele@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, September 10, 2002 8:03 AM To: [ISAserver.org Discussion List] Subject: [isalist] RE: Filter Problem (reply to Chad Roush) RE: Gee, Thank s! http://www.ISAserver.org What kind of info would be useful to you to help?

I apparently overlooked your orginal message. Email me with your configuration and I will try to help.

The questions that I post seem legitimate and answerable. My questions apparently are getting posted, since I always get 5 to 10 out of office replies from overseas users. What is funny is that even though things get posted, 50% of the time I get a response back from the ISA list stating that my message was rejected. I cannot state here what the reason was since quoting the text in that message would cause this post to get rejected. Some questions that I had that went unanswered were: Please Help! SMTP Filter does not filter out anything OWA with Exchange 5.5 and ISA Connect remotely to Exchange 5.5 with Outlook Express Some that were answered and discussed were: Blocking Ads Disable cacheing of certain web sites Everything that I had no responses to were questions that had anything to do with Exchange Server 5.5. Probably, the majority of people that are still on 5.5 don't know what they are doing anyways and do not know the answer. Most people I would guess are at least on Exchange 2000, which still is not even the latest version (or is about to not be the latest version). Things that usually get answered are stuff that only has to do with ISA. It would be nice to have my SMTP filter filtering content, but it probably does not work since I have 5.5. Thanks, Brian K.
