User sending out massive amounts of spam RSS Back to forum
solved this issue. forgot about my exchange queue.
Is there anything that ORF can do w/ blocking a "set" amount of emails in a certain amount of time?

No, but Exchange 2007 and higher has this capability.

Your firewall also can likely rate limit based on protocol, sender/receiver, depending on model.
Plan to upgrade to exchange 2013 in July. Thanks for the link indy!
@ErikD: No, ORF does not support filtering outgoing emails (they are only monitored for the Auto Sender Whitelist feature).
I'm running Windows 2003 with Exchange 2003. I currently have a user that started sending massive amounts of spam over the weekend. 12,000+ emails w/ many recipients. I checked my spam filter (ORF Enterprise 4.4) & Message Tracker Center, which says mail is being send from her account.
I had her log off her PC and we changed her password on another PC (in case it was compromised) and i currently have her account set to disabled after we changed the password. Both the logs in exchange and ORF are showing she is STILL sending ton of emails out.
Where can i look to check if the spammer is sending emails out through another account but using her email as a spoof? or is there a way to stop this from happening in ORF? Below is just a few from the spam log. each "releated ip" sends out about 25 emails.
