You should be able to configure this at the network level.  Only allow
inbound SMTP connections from 63.171.93.5 at their network firewall.

Thanks!

Subject: [IMail Forum] OT Exchange question

A good friend of mine runs a small business behind Microsoft Small
Business Server, which includes Exchange for email service. He was
getting hundreds of spams per day.

I changed his MX records to point to my server (Imail) priority 5, and
his server as priority 10. My IMail server vets the email with
SpamAssassin
(http://www.visioncomm.net/sac) and if clean, forwards it to his
Exchange, otherwise, it remains on my box for research purposes (via
Webmail).

The spam continued, and my server was NOT in the headers.

I removed the MX record for Exchange.

The spam continued, and my server was NOT in the headers.

Does anybody know how to configure Exchange 2J not to accept inbound
email unless the sending server IP is 63.171.93.5? I know veeeeeeerrrrry
little about Exchange. It's in Native mode, but I couldn't even find the
"About Box" to report the version<g>.
