I am a vendor of various popular products.
I have a client who hase 100 computers, with a cisco 2600 series and a sonicwall firewall. For mail he runs Exchange 2000 with the Groupshield anti-virus on it and Virus scan for the desk tops.
The problem is that his link to the ISP is always full with uploads form his network. Actually the problem is that he does not know wha t congests his system..,,We thought it was emal and we tried the following..
1. Block SMTP on the firewall....the concurrent connections on the firewall dropped but still there was mail being sent. Who or what was sending the mail?
2. Switch off the exchange server....the congection dropped.
What do you this is the cause of the congestion in the Uplink?
Could there be an SMTP engine lying somewhere?Like a virus?
What steps do I use to locate the virus? or smtp Engine?
