Might this help? X-LINK2STATE is used to transfer link state info betweeen Exchange routing groups - http://www.microsoft.com/technet/treeview/default.asp?url=/technet/itsolutio ns/guide/glossary.asp X-EXPS GSSAPI looks like an extension to say that GSSAPI is the supported security mechanism (or something like that, hey it's a guess). Similar to the HTTP PROXY-AUTHENTICATE and WWW-AUTHENTICATE headers. See http://docs.sun.com/db/doc/806-3814/6jcugr7cc?q=GSSAPI&a=view for an explanation of GSSAPI. It's basically a wrapper around other security mechanisms (Kerberos, etc). Maybe EXPS GSSAPI = (EXP)ect (S)ecurity GSSAPI??? UIT - No idea. Maybe (Q)UIT? -Shawn ----- Shawn R.

(NOOP command length was only 6. I so would not have known it can be up to 20, though). Yes, we are using Exchange. Do I have to add "XEXCH" ("XEXCH50"?) to the SMTP filter? If so, what should be its maximum length? ISA Also sends "unknown SMTP command" e-mails for the following 4 commands: X-LINK2STATE DROP X-LINK2STATE LAST X-EXPS GSSAPI UIT Is it safe to add them to the SMTP filter in ISA too? I don't mean to ask so many follow-up questions -- any good reference so I learn on these "SMTP Filer" issues?

ISA e-mails me dozens of alerts every day relating to SMTP. Is that normal, or should I configure something different? Alerts I get are of two types: ISA Server alert: The SMTP command exceeded its allowed length ISA Server name: ISA-SVR-1 NOOP or ISA Server alert: An unknown SMTP command ISA Server name: ISA-SVR-1 XEXCH50 1840 Thanks so much in advance for any insight into this!
