Clients send mail through servers, so how can you block clients. And this should be sent to an exchange list. Steve -----Original Message----- From: Müller [mailto:mmuller@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Friday, November 26, 2004 1:16 PM To: ISA Mailing List Subject: [isalist] OutOfftopic: Exchange Server Smtp security rule http://www.ISAserver.org (Exchange Server 2000 on win2k box - generic smpt security question) ---My question: Its some form to indentify that the sender is an smtp server and not and e-mail client, and only receive messages to "@mydomain", from smtp servers, not form clients? ---My Problem: Today, anyone from the internet can send mail to my public e-mail domain "@mydomain" unsing my exchange-server as the SMTP server. That's not a relay its rigth, cause I'm the owner of this public domain I need accept all messages for it, but so I receive a lot of spam. For correctness only smtp servers from other domains could send smtp messages to my SMTP server and not e-mail clients. PS: I deny relay on my server, but accept it from my users if they authenticate on the smtp server. I'am not requering reverse lookup to accept messages cause many of clients of my enterprise are not in conformance with dns reverse registrations.
