Dear Jim,

Thank you for posting here. Thanks Andy for sharing great experience.

>From your post, my understanding on this issue is: You wonder how to export
all the entries in the Filtering tab. If I'm off base, please feel free to
let me know.

Based on my knowledge, since all the information in Exchange System Manager
is saved in Active Directory. We can use tool in Active Directory to export
the raw data as below.

1. Start the Ldp.exe utility (in the Microsoft Windows 2000 support tools).
2. On the Connection menu, click Connect. In the Server Name box, type the
name for the global catalog server that is used for lookup. In the Port
Number box, type 3268. If you use the Ldp.exe utility, always make sure
that you use port number 3268 to connect to the global catalog server. This
is the port that the message categorizer uses to query global catalogs for
name resolution. Leave the Connectionless check box clear.
3. On the Connection menu, click Bind. Type the user name (with
administrative rights), password, and domain name of the global catalog
server, and then click OK.
4. On the View menu, click Tree. In the Tree View dialog box, leave the
Base DN box blank, and then click OK. The root of the tree is displayed in
the leftmost column.
5. Expand the root container and the subcontainers as below until you
locate the Default Message Filter object which store the Sender Filter List
in Exchange System Managers.

  DC=<Domain Name>,DC=com
  CN=Configuration
  CN=Service
  CN=Microsoft Exchange
  CN=<Exchange Organization Name>
  CN=Global Settings
  CN=Message Delivery
  CN=Default Message Filter

6. Click the Default Message Filter object, right-click it, and then click
Search.
7. Copy the Distinguished Name (DN) from the DN field.
8. At a command line, type the following command

"ldifde -f <drive>:\<NameOfDumpFile>.ldf -d "<DN>" -p base" (without the
quotation marks) where "<DN>" is the DN copied in the previous step.

NOTE: Make sure to use the quotes around the DN.

This command creates an .ldf file in the location specified with the -f
<drive>:\<NameOfDumpFile>.ldf switch. You can open the file with a text
editor.

Inside the file, you can see all the entries in Filter List begin with
msExchTurfListNames.
