we are getting emails with this address: mannzmb@domainname.com, actually this email addess is not part of our exchange server, but still they are coming to my inbox as if it is directed to me, but when i open the email i see the address as this: mannzmb@domainname.com domainname.com everything fine except the emailid mannzmb. Is there a way on exchange hub transport using antispam to reject those emails if the recipient id is not part of the mail list. Thank you very much for the helpful info.

I think that message is BCCed to you. Message tracking should give you a clue about that. -- Ed Crowley MVP "There are seldom good technological solutions to behavioral problems." .

Dear guys, Obviously this message is coming from a spammer who has spoofed your email address. In Exchange 2007, there are various of filtering tools to reject spam, but in your scenario I suggest you configure the receive connector’s permission. To prevent anonymous senders from sending email using your domain, we can remove ms-exch-smtp-accept-authoritative-domain-sender permission from your receive connector. Use the following sentence from your EMS: Get-ReceiveConnector "Your Internet ReceiveConnector" | Get-ADPermission -user "NT AUTHORITY\Anonymous Logon" | where {$_.ExtendedRights -like "ms-exch-smtp-accept-authoritative-domain-sender"} | Remove-ADPermission Hope it’s useful to you.
