Anyway to export IMF Deny IP List from Exchange Server Manager in Exchange 2003?
My list gets longer and longer and I can't find where the list is kept. Could someone either advice on where the list is saved or any free utility that can be used to back up? I found some utilities to back up but am not sure if they are safe to use. Thanks!

You are wasting your time populating that list. I can pretty much guarantee that you could remove that list and wouldn't see a drop in the spam levels you receive. Spam is a moving target, and even the major blacklists struggle to keep up - most of them are mainly dynamic IP addresses. If you want to block at the IP address level, use a blacklist that will keep updating for you, or something that will block on the fly based on activity to your server such as Vamsoft ORF. Trying to get IMF to do it is an admin nightmare that will not give you any real benefits. The idea of that list is to block persistent senders, such as distribution groups which don't honour unsubscribe commands. For most sites the list is very small, if any.

Hi Puzzled, Simon gave a good suggestion. Per my known, we could not export them. But we could check it through ADSI, and copy them. Regards!
