adompier -> Does anyone understand the Anti-spam? (10.Aug.2006 12:09:23 AM)

I installed the agents and now I feel I am missing something. How is it managed? What does it do? I do not see any info on black, grey or white-listing. Is it just removing attachments? I found a little bit in the help guide but it is all CLI, is this all we get?

Forefront does not have anti-spam either, anyone hearing anything I am not. Any tips, thoughts, suggestions are welcomed.

Thanks,

Andy

I haven't used forefront as yet but reading this link http://www.microsoft.com/forefront/serversecurity/exchange/overview.mspx shows that it has anti-spam support.  Please remember it's just a beta!

I agree the documentation is a little sparse right now, but when you say installed the agents you mean you installed them on the Hub Transport server? If yes you should have a GUI for the filter agents under Organization Configuration > Hub Transport.

BTW ForeFront for Exchange as well as ForeFront for SMTP Servers have both antispam and antivirus filtering. Just remember that ForeFront for Exchange Beta 1 only exist in a 64-bit version, so if you don't have any 64-bit hardware I recommend you use ForeFront for SMTP servers instead.

Thank you Henrik! I was not paying close enough attention

The Forefront program actually does very little to the anti-spam features in Exchange 2007.  It does give you ability to update the anti-spam lists in exchange on a more frequent basis, but that is about it.  Forefront is primarily designed to support anti-virus, which i believe is a BAD decision.

Dont forget to update the anti-spam settings in Exchange to reference some well known anti-spam lists.  This will help a great deal.

ForeFront also supports RBLs but agreed the antispam features are not nearly as good as for example GFI MailEssentials.
