Hi,
I was troubleshooting a problem on my SBS2K server where I am receiving an
enormous amount of messages in the badmail folder. I followed the
instructions to create a new bad mail folder and delete the old one but am
getting thousands of files in the folder per hour. This prompted me to check
for unauthorized relaying. When I checked the Default SMTP virtual server's
queues, I found hundreds. I followed the steps to clean up the smtp queues
(however, the only way I could get the Small Business SMTP Connector to
stabilize was by clearing the check box for Anonymous access on the
Authentication page of the Default SMTP Virtual Server Properties.
This stopped the bad mail messages and the SMTP queues, but also stopped
users from receiving e-mail (although they were able to send just fine).
Selecting the Anonymous access check box restored the users' ability to
receive mail, but also brought back the bad mail messages and the numerous
queues.
What am I doing incorrectly here? How can I stop the bad messages but allow
my users to receive e-mail?
Thanks,
Dwaine
