I recently published our Mail Server (Exchange 5.5) using the wizard. Under ACCESS POLICIES, the only protocol selected is SMTP and I believe that is all we currently need since remote clients use VPN - no OWA. Under EXTENSIONS, the SMTP filter was enabled, but we received INVALID SMTP COMMAND errors and a business partner with a linux Communicate-Pro Email Server (ESMTP) could not send us mail. I turned the filter off, and all is fine, but this seems like a bad thing to have to do. Per MS event id support, I should probably add to the filter's List the missing ESMTP command and its max. length, but I do not know how to find out the offending command (or info on max lengths). I cannot even find a list of the commands and their max lengths that should be included in this filter (for SMTP/ESMTP). Nothing in my ISA Server 2000 book and can't find a how-to anywhere Would appreciate a helping hand - until then filter will have to remain disabled Thanks Don Blackshear
