Short Answer = no. Longer answer = No because the MX records only show a preference or cost and it is up to the sender to decide which one to use to send.
Solution 1 = Manual Method - Block firewall for the exchange ip address and port. Yo can turn this on quickly if you need the exchange server to take over temporarily Solution 2 = automatic Method - Setup other spam server to provide the backup server you are looking for. Most AV vendors (and some are SPAM vendors) licence their product per user protected and not per server as adding another server is at no cost. >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 22/10/2003 9:42:00 a.m. >>> Hello, Exchange 5.5 SP4 on W2K SP3 This might be dumb but is there a way to force the IMS on Exchange to only accept mail from a certain IP address? I have two MX records, one going to our SPAM box with Cost of 10 and the other to our Exchange box with cost of 100 as fail over. The Exchange box appears to still be accepting mail and the IMS queues are filling up with the SPAM crap...etc and I would like it to only accept mail from the SPAM filter box. BTW - the SPAM box is SAV for SMTP Gateways. Thanks in advance.
