[Thiyagu_2]

I could not found how to configure the mail server to use sbl.spamhaus.org. Is there any other organisation which provide free service like the sbl.

And also please tell me how to configure them to my mail server.

Thanks a lot.
Thanks in advance

Assuming you've already read http://www.spamhaus.org/sbl/howtouse.html
the next thing would be to post the mailserver product and version you are using.

Make a great day!

I am using Exchange 2000 server.

Does Exchange 2000 even have the built in functionality to set up black list entries?


On my exchange 2k server I ran ORFEE (Open Relay Filter Enterprise Edition - vamsoft.com) for a while, but I think 2003 has some built in functionality to handle this. I have not had time to play with it as much as I want.

ORFEE is CHEAP.. see attached for a screen shot of the stats page.

Hi Steven,

As per your suggestion, I downloaded a trial version of ORFEE. And I have some doubts on that, In Configuration->DNS and lookups which dns server ipaddress we should give, whether our ISP Server ipaddress or my DNS Server Ipaddress.

Thanks in advance.

I have upgraded Exchange server 2000 to 2003. Now, can I configure my mail server to use sbl.spamhaus.org. Please help me to configure the same thing.

Thanks in advance.

Thiyagu:

I simply put in my DNS servers address. I would think that you can put in any DNS server address that you know, the only drawback is if you use yours... you might increase it's activity. As you can see from the stats image I have DNS resolution enabled. You don't need to have DNS resolution enable for ORFEE to work.

As for Exchange 2003, again, I have not played much with it so I am not sure how, but ORFEE would surely work with 2003 as well for the time being at least.
