Seems strange to me to purchase a mail filter solution and then not use it... The message screener needs to be custom installed in order to function. The trick is to install and configure the message screener BUT leave it disabled. I know, it sounds crazy but the only thing that is disabled is the SMTP verbs. Message screening of attachment, subject or body will still function. There is a problem with the SMTP verbs section and it will not handle the newer Exchange 2000 verbs so this is why it must be left disabled, for now. SP1 does nothing for this. -Mark -----Original Message----- From: John Tolmachoff [mailto:jtolmachoff@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Monday, April 22, 2002 11:40 AM To: [ISAserver.org Discussion List] Subject: [isalist] RE: SMTP filter not working http://www.ISAserver.org FYI For those that might be considering a mail server other than Exchange, the Declude line of products that work with Imail ban attachments very effectively and easily.

Check out http://www.gfi.com/me/mesfeatures.htm <http://www.gfi.com/me/mesfeatures.htm> I'm testing it out now and its working GREAT! I've tired to fiddling with the SMTP Message Screener and now am a believer in MailEssentials for SMTP gateways.

I have SBS 2000 installed on my server. So, ISA and Exchange are on the same machine. I have enabled SMTP filter, and configured it to reject messeges with .exe, .bat and .pif extensions. But it's not working. All mail with that kind of attachments are comig through? Any idea what is the problem? ------------------------------------------------ SIlVIU BONDALICI IT MANAGER DC COMMUNICATION, 6 Covaci St, Bucharest tel: (+4) 01 312.38.35/36 fax: (+4) 01 313.80.35 http://www.dccom.ro/ <http://www.dccom.ro/> http://www.dccommunication.ro <http://www.dccommunication.ro> ------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------ You are currently subscribed to this ISAserver.org Discussion List as: tshinder@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send a blank email to $subst('Email.Unsub') ------------------------------------------------------ You are currently subscribed to this ISAserver.org Discussion List as: jtolmachoff@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send a blank email to $subst('Email.Unsub') ------------------------------------------------------ You are currently subscribed to this ISAserver.org Discussion List as: Mark@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send a blank email to $subst('Email.Unsub')
