Exchange 2K3 newbie

[EMESES]

Hi All

We've just installed an exchange 2K3 server, And as I'm very new to it, I was wondering what are the parametres (in exchange system manager for example) we should change, I mean the default values that must be changed and the restrictions we should put to keep our mailing system away from hackers, spammers ... etc

Many thanks in advance.

Moony.

That's WAY too much to be answered in a single post here. There are TONS of parameters and settings that can help with keeping things secure. But start with these:
