I posted a thread here about having issues with Microsoft's IMF under Exchange 2003 block RIM's SMTP servers and can't seem to find it now...

Oh well.. So here's what I found after changing IMF to archive the rejected emails.

smtp01.bis.na.blackberry.com 216.9.248.48
to
smtp10.bis.na.blackberry.com 216.9.248.57
and
smtp11.bis.na.blackberry.com 216.9.248.25
to
smtp15.bis.na.blackberry.com 216.9.248.29

... those are BIS servers ... for activation messages you want these IPs KB03735 - Firewall and connection requirements for the BlackBerry Enterprise Server

Opps I see they have the proper subnet masks... I just woke up! lol

Thanks
A.

Wait the IPs I listed above are on that page you gave me... so how do I figure out their subnet mask?

Crap, I just realized the IPs in that link you gave me aren't for the BIS servers SMTP servers its for the RIM SRP servers.

I thought you were looking for the SRP network servers ... sorry KB11036 - Firewall and connection requirements for the BlackBerry Internet Service

That list seems to be the same IPs as the previous link you posted has. I don't see the 216.9.248.xxx range in there so I very hesitant to believe the IPs listed are of RIMs SMTP servers which send the BIS email out on.

What exactly are you trying to accomplish? I'm confused.

Who cares what RIM's SMTP servers are? Doesn't impact your BES at all.

I am really surprised how stupid some people are. LEARN 2 READ!!

I said I Microsoft Exchange 2003 Server IMF is blocking RIMs SMTP servers, I need am looking for a list of the servers so I can add them to IMF so that it doesn't filter out emails coming in from the BIS network.

You can't use domain names in IMF only IP addresses. (sigh)

IMF = Intelligent Message Filter

It surprises me no one has know what IMF is... LAUGH! (shaking my head)

Dude, seriously?

Ok, figure it out yourself. I gave you an answer (a correct one at that).

Why don't you learn to read these:
