Re: Exhange 2003

Did you try

netstat -an

And see what ports were listening?

Is there a local IP filtering policy active? You mentioned only 2 ports as 
being active 25 and 100.  Perhaps there is a local IP policy only allowing 
those ports.  Perhaps the port 100 was supposed to be port 110 for POP3 
mail access and they typod the entry.  Good of you to find their 
misconfiguration for them :-)

Did you run fport (foundstone)?  If you've never used fport, you should add 
it to your arsenal.

Hopefully HADXM is the username that you are using.  If not, look into the 
host being compromised.

If you have more, post it to us.

Cheers,
