An open relay shouldn't get you spammed any more than usual. It allows you to be used to spam everyone else in the world, though. Perhaps you don't really understand what you're saying about being an open relay.

I am using Trend Micro ScanMail E manager which has content filtering enabled, also running real-time scanner on exchange server. The problem is that all these exchange servers within the enterprise (located different regions of the world )have trusts between them and my exchange server will not stop anything that comes via another trusted exchange box -that sits, say in China etc. If Exchange server in China has relay open, its not that box in china that gets spammed (as correctly pointed by Ed) but mine or other. We probably need to do something about this trusting between boxes. --- "John Q Jr." <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > gfi . . . good product. .. . bad support. > Trend = restful sleep every night. > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Jees" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: "Exchange Discussions" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Monday, January 05, 2004 7:29 PM > Subject: RE: getting heaps of spams > > > > What is your opinion on gfi? > > > > many thanks > > > > > > --- Tony Hlabse <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Sounds like you in need of a spam solution. > > > > > > > > > From: Jees <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > > Reply-To: "Exchange Discussions" > > > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > > To: "Exchange Discussions" > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > > Subject: RE: getting heaps of spams > > > Date: Mon, 5 Jan 2004 18:16:15 -0800 (PST) > > > > > > > > > > > > Ed, thanks for your response.
