Exchange 2007 - HELP! Blocking Email from one address at a domain?   

I am totally confused now... I am using Exchange 2007. One domain is
sending me emails from several people to several people here, but the
CEO (domain1) can't seem to get an email through to our CEO
(ourdomain2)!

It's crazy since CEO (domain1) get's the bounce message below, but
then can forward me the email without a problem.

Any ideas of how I can blanket allow the whole domain1 to send
messages without filtering!?

Or how to get more details as to why a specific email is bouncing
exactly!?

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

You can whitelist a sender or domain in Exchange 2007, but you need to do it 
from the Exchange Management Shell (a bit annoying that MS didn't provide 
for this functionality in the Exchange Management Console).  Here's a link 
to the Technet page that describes how to specify sender and sender domain 
exceptions for content filtering:

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa995952(EXCHG.80).aspx

To bypass filtering for all addresses at hr.com, you'd run the command:

Set-ContentFilterConfig -BypassedSenderDomains *.hr.com

The thing to be careful of is that this command will overwrite any 
previously entered bypassed sender domains, but the Technet documentation 
explains how to add senders or domains to an existing content filter 
configuration.

As for why a specific email is bouncing, you can adjust the SCL thresholds 
that the Exchange anti-spam uses, but you can't really influence how 
particular messages are given the SCL values that they receive.
