Re: [Exchange] Exchange 2007 Prevent Open Relay

Well I am testing with »www.spamhelp.org/shopenrelay/ and stuck with all the defaults in exchange 07. We do use dyndns and mailhop on port 2525 and they do some light spam filtering. I have a second line of defense but did not get around to installing it. Looking at some of the tools the dyndns offers I see that our outgoing mail is off the charts, could these be ndr's?

Either way looking at the link above it appears I am right on. The receive connect, default, needs to have anonymous permissions enabled or I can not receive mail. Any other ideas?

you need to run the tests on your domain or MX name to make sure the relay open.

Yes you need anonymous connections enabled otherwise the servers coming into your network won't be able to send any email through.

The default settings which don't enable relay on the receive connector are:

Permission Groups (tab)

Enable:
Anonymous users
Exchange users
Exchange servers
Legacy Exchange Servers

Authentication (tab)

Enable:
Transport Layer Security (TLS)
Basic Authentication
Offer Basic authentication only after starting TLS
Exchange Server authentication
Intergrated Windows authenication

We also use have added a bunch of servers to your anti-spam in the Exchange server which cuts down on about 98% of the spam we get without them.

Anti-spam -> IP Block List Providers

Providers:
dns.rfc-ignorant.org
sbl-xbl-spamhaus.org
bl.spamcop.net
dnsbl.sorbs.net
list.dsbl.org

All other settings are default.

Thanks Lethal, I will add those servers as well. However my setting match yours to the "T". Last night I installed out SMSMSE and it seem to cut down on the outgoing mail a great deal over night. I'll keep an eye on it for a few days.

I am passing on all the open relay tests out there so who knows.

Thanks to everyone else for helping out - really appreciate it.
