Hi Alexander,
I tested this out this evening to see what the deal is. I configured
Outlook 2002 to be a SMTP/POP3 mail client. I configure the SMTP service
on the ISA Server itself to act as a mail relay to the internal Exchange
2000 server. I configured the Message Screener on the IIS SMTP service
running on the ISA Server itself.
When I sent a message from the Outlook POP/SMTP client with a .vbs file
(configured to be blocked by the Message Screener on the ISA Server
itself), the file was indeed blocked and I found it in the BADMAIL
folder. I also tried it with Outlook Express, and it worked fine there
too.
My question is, are you configuring the Outlook client to be a RPC
client and allowing it to access the Exchange Server via an RPC Server
Publishing Rule? If that's the case, then the Message Screener won't
work, because SMTP is not being used. Otherwise, as long as you use the
SMTP relay (which I ALWAYS recommend, never would I ever put the Message
Screener on the Exchange Server), it works great.
HTH,
Tom

You may be hitting that message screener bug I posted a few weeks ago -
the message screener completely ignores any message coming into the
system if it is sent from an outside Exchange/Outlook client. So don't
tear your hair out on this one too much - it's a bug, and we reported it
to Microsoft support but have heard nothing. Try sending a message from
a standard POP3 client or whatever... hotmail, for instance. You'll see
that it meets the rules of the screener and is successfully deleted.
However, send the same email from an outside Exchange/Outlook setup and
the message will get through.

Hi David,
I am also subscribed in this list...
I read your message and I thing that ISA was made to delete the message
with an .exe attached, and don't to delete the attachment...
Now I made a rule that delete the e-mail for a .xxx attachment. If you
want, test me... I thing that I will not receive your message...
Tks,
Pedro Miguel

Hi Tom and Jim,
Happy Holidays, glad to see you guys are spending quality time
at home. I'm make an attempt to configure the SMTP Message Screener and
walked through your book CH9 pg 587-594. Mail is being sent and
receieved but testing the screener to delete an attachement (.exe)
fails. Did I miss anything?
