Don't worry if they are Outlook with MAPI and OWA. You can go ahead and make the restriction. Your users do not need to access SMTP virtual server.

My clients use both Outlook w/MAPI and OWA. Yes, my clients use Exchange for delivery both inside the IS and to the Internet. Does this mean that I cannot block like I am explaining?

Do the clients use Outlook with MAPI or OWA to compose messages? Or do they use a POP3/SMTP software like Outlook Express? If so do they connect to the Exchange server to send mail? - restricting the connection on SMTP virtual server would block the user access. -----Original Message----- From: Bridges, Samantha [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, January 30, 2004 2:26 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Blocking connections to Exchange 2000 Hello. I use an POP (Imail) server as a virus and spam filter gateway. That is, that I have a POP server on the outside of my firewall and an Exchange 2000 server on the inside. The outside POP (Imail) provides virus and spam filtering. And after filtering, the mail is forwarded to the matching account on the Exchange server. I want to block all connections to my Exchange server except from the POP (Imail) server. Would this be done on the SMTP virtual server under the SMTP protocol or on the SMTP Connector? Is this a good or bad idea? I still need to be able to deliver Internet mail outbound from the Exchange server. Thank you.
