General suggestion is to fire up a Linux box and put it between the Internet and your Exchange server ... this lets you run your application of choice to do what blocking/filtering your wish .. then use the Exchange server to handle the internal e-mail distribution.

Depends on the version of Exchange that you are running. Older versions do not have built in support of DNSbl's. What version of Exchange are you running?

Hi Adi,

Here is an article from Microsoft's knowledgebase on doing what you're trying to do:

How to configure connection filtering to use Realtime Blackhole Lists (RBLs) and how to configure recipient filtering in Exchange 2003

Hope this helps!

Drifting slightly off topic here...

Can you tell me whether Exchange 2003 rejects messages to undefined addresses during the SMTP session or by building a non-delivery report and sending it to the "sender"?

Older versions of Exchange could NOT reject during the SMTP dialog. They would accept all messages, then generate an NDR back to the (possibly forged) sender.

I'm curious if Microsoft has fixed this, yet...
