I have a Exchange 5.0 sp2 server with a internet mail connector installed. I have a dedicated 56K internet line. My question is how can I block unwanted internet mail (spam) from coming into my site? On the connections tab there is a section to accept or reject by host name. Is that where I block the messages? Please help. Thanks in advance.

As far as I know, there is not a way with the 5.0 and 5.5 IMC to block mail from a particular individual email address. However, you can set the IMC to refuse SMTP transactions from an entire email domain -- i.e., @microsoft.com or @cardoneoneline.com. Of course, the obvious reprocussion of that is ALL mail, be it valid or spam, will be returned as NDR.

This block can be accomplished exactly where you pointed out: Connections Tab, Accept or Reject by Host, Reject connection from this host, and then the IP for the email domain`s SMTP server(s).

This will help. I had to do the same thing for our site.
At Microsoft look up this article. Article ID: Q155683
