The 4188 errors are typical if you ARE relay secure, you use 'only
authenticated users can relay' and others try.

Where do you think you are 'hacked'?

Subject: Exchange 5.5 server HACKED!




        OK gang...

        A small Exchange 5.5/SP4 server I recently set up was repeatedly
*hacked* over the weekend, according to the logs; and I'm trying to
figure out if I made an error configuring the IMC. The symptom is that
it appears to be relaying by unauthorized parties.

        The server is itself is NT4/SP6a, fully patched this afternoon
to the very latest hotfixes. All of the account passwords are 8 or more
characters with a mix of upper & lower case characters & numbers, the
Admin & Exchange service accounts are 15 characters, yada yada yada.

        I applied the last hotfix & rebooted at 1:10PM Monday, and it
was still hacked. To see the event log, click on:

        Any suggestions?

        Thanks!
        Dan
