I just had the same thing happen on a client's SBS2000 server. Turns out spammers are getting pretty clever and trying authenticated SMTP connections using common user IDs like "guest" and "backup".

Queues being created left and right on smtp virtual server... I am even able to observe sessions being established. It seems that the only way to stop them is to take Exchange 2000 off line. Any help will be appreciated... Platform does not matter much... one site saw problem while running Exchange 2000 on MS Small Business Server, another site had Exchange 2000 on Win2000 Server. Help!!! _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchange&text_mode=&; lang=english To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchange&text_mode=&lang=english To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
