hey naveen, i like to have my mail, and other internet servers, outside my internal network. in the dmz zone. that way if one is comprised they are not on your internal network. if sendmail was working fine for blocking spam, i would still use it, and bypass isa filtering. using isa to filter mail would, in our case, add a very heavy load to the isa server. we have over 700 email accounts. i dont remember the daily traffic off the top of my head, but i think it is around 10,000 emails a day. this would eat up some server resources. i would use sendmail like you have in the past. isa smtp filtering is a good feature, i just would not use it unless i had to. we would have to have a dedicated isa just for this. shane ----- Original Message ----- From: [Naveen]*{kumar}*(M) To: [ISAserver.org Discussion List] Sent: Tuesday, January 14, 2003 9:42 PM Subject: [isalist] Re: on smtp filtering... http://www.ISAserver.org Hi Here we are using sendmail server and it has the option of blocking spam mails and it does well.I implemented ISA server,when i blocked some mails or domains in the smtp filter option, it doent work effectively.so,what should i do.could some one helpo me out Thanks and regrads Naveen shane mullins <tsmullins@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: http://www.ISAserver.org what type of mail server do you use? we currently use sendmail and it does a very effective job of blocking spammers. most emails servers have a "hook" (for lack of a better term) that you can use to compare against open relays. sendmail also lets us block from domains and users. most email servers have this feature, or very similar, built in. i have not needed to use our isa server for this purpose. shane ----- Original Message ----- From: To: "[ISAserver.org Discussion List]" Sent: Tuesday, January 14, 2003 7:53 PM Subject: [isalist] on smtp filtering... > http://www.ISAserver.org > > > good day.does anyone know a software that can block spam/unwanted > e-mails?Currently, we do not have lotus notes or msexchange.I tried to use > the smtp filtering of ISA(using keywords) and I download the smtp > filtering in the ISAtool.org but, yet, just the same, we still received > unwanted e-mails. pls. help.thanks in advance > > > > ------------------------------------------------------ > List Archives: http://www.webelists.com/cgi/lyris.pl?enter=isalist > ISA Server Newsletter: http://www.isaserver.org/pages/newsletter.asp > ISA Server FAQ: http://www.isaserver.org/pages/larticle.asp?type=FAQ > ------------------------------------------------------ > Exchange Server Resource Site: http://www.msexchange.org/ > Windows Security Resource Site: http://www.windowsecurity.com/ > Windows 2000/NT Fax Solutions: http://www.ntfaxfaq.com > ------------------------------------------------------ > You are currently subscribed to this ISAserver.org Discussion List as: tsmullins@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx > To unsubscribe send a blank email to $subst('Email.Unsub') > > --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
