Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

Exchange queue filling up with spam

    For the last few days our exchange server has been acting as an open relay and sending loads of spam.

    I have disabled the open relaying options in the SMTP Virtual server but when I delete everything from my outgoing queues, they just fill up with spam again. Any idea where these might be coming from??

    Help !!

    I'm not an Exchange man, but you might not have turned off open relaying correctly, or one of your internal hosts might be infected with a worm/trojan. Check your logs to see if you can find source IP addresses for these mails.

    Cheers, you are correct. I had turned off relaying as per microsoft instructions but apparently that's not enough. All sorted now.
