      I'm trying to lock down my Exchange 5.5 mail services. Primarily because
    of unwanted email, or Spam as it's more lovingly called.

    So I've enabled medium logging of the following services...
            Message Transfer
            SMTP Interface Events
            SMTP Protocol Log

    The net effect I want to do is capture IPs of offending spammers and then
    I'll add them to my firewall.

    Exchange says that it is suppose to log these events to the Event Log in
    windows. I've seen nothing appear in there after having several mail
    transactions processed.

    Would anyone know where these are logged to? (Application / System / File)

    I am running Exchange 5.5 on the flowing system...
            Dual PIII 800
            512MB Ram
            Application drive 68Gig free
            OS drive 2.2Gig free
            Win 2K Server
            Service Pack 2
            Exchange 5.5 with all patches and OWA installed

    Any suggestions would be appreciated. Also, any alternative ways for
    identifying and shutting down unwanted emails.
