Hello,
I am not much of a Exchange 5.5 server so if someone can point me to a good document on how to trace down the IP addresses of SPAMMERS, I would be grateful. I have my "routing" locked down by choosing to only relay mail from addresses on our private subnets and also only authenticated users (for those that POP3/SMTP remotely). Somehow these spammers are submitting bulk mail to my server and I am getting NDR reports such as:
Notification: Outbound Mail Failure - Message timed out
A mail message was not sent because the maximum time for delivery has expired. The message was not delivered to the following addresses:
The message that caused this notification was:
To: <horoscope@horoscope.wingowin.com>
From: <>
Subject: Undeliverable: Lauren, Your free daily horoscope
I am thinking that there MUST be some way of tracking these people down and blocking their source IP address if one is determined to make an effort to do so. I know that I could just turn off the notification but my users need to know when their legitimate mail is not being delivered.
Any ideas?
