The MAIN problems in most of these cases is to obtain a CLEAR view of the "network" (meaning number/location of clients and so on) and gathering infos to understand if that network (and those servers) are ACTIVELY sending spam and/or if any client has been "r00ted" see, before starting a "cure" you'll have to learn as well as possible all the "symptoms of the disease" then, having a clear picture of the whole issue you may move on and take the appropriate steps :) For example, the latest v2 has a quite cool mechanism to help avoiding OUTBOUND spam (or at least getting ALERTS about such an issue) ... but before jumping in barefoot it would be advisable to gather as much infos as possible and getting a "grip" on the whole issue; that would help a LOT Also, and since you're talking about exchange, I'd suggest you to pick this critter http://www.lizardl.com/PageHtml.aspx?lng=2&PageId=18&PageListItemId=17 and use it to load/parse/analyze the exchange logs (and the SMTP ones btw); it may help you better understanding the terms of the issue and possibly putting down a plan ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
