Is there any way I can configure Exchange 2003 and 2007 to notify me when
SPAM is being sent through my Exchange server or at least suspicious
activity? I was just going through my Exchange logs and see that someone
has been sending SPAM through my Exchange 2003 server. They must have
gotten one of our usernames and passwords to be able to do this because we
do not have an open relay. Is there something out there I can use to
identify that someone is sending out a lot of E-Mail out at one time and
raise a red flag for me.

You could probably look at some performance monitor alerts that you could
setup for SMTP but nothing native to Exchange Server. Third party services
such as Message Labs or Spam Soap would have caught this through Outbound
filtering. Not sure if you are using a Third Party filtering service for
your smart host but something to consider. Also sounds like you need to
tighten your Security on user accounts, you can enable auditing to track
logon events.

I am looking into perfmon now. I have an alert configured and it is logging
the alert correctly to the app log, but when I try to configure it to
execute a batch it isn't working. It works when I execute the batch
manually but not from perfmon. Any ideas?
