Re: IMF blocks Blackberry Email

Locate the emails from telus and rogers and add the sending server's IP
address(es) in Connection Filtering | Global Accept List under Global
Settings. Go to SMTP virtual server properties | General tab | Advanced
(next to IP address) | select IP address | Edit -> enable Connection
Filtering on the SMTP virtual server.

BTW, this is where the functionality to enable/disable all messaging hygiene
filters resides - including IMF, which was moved here from SP2/IMF v2.

UPDATE............

Okay Im Dumb....

I found the Archive folder and yes, the messages I send from my
Blackberry ARE in there.....so it is being blocked by the IMF

I still dont have the IMF under my Protocols - SMTP server, but Im not
to worried about that right now.....we are missing a lot of mail from
Blackberry users because of this problem.....

Thanks again!!

I set to Archive and the problem is that there is no archive
folder.....in reading up on the IMF you should be able to go into
exchange system manager and a new Intelligent Message Filtering node is
added under Protocols > SMTP, which I dont have either.....

I can go in and set the IMF through global settings, message
delivery.....

again with Archiving there should be a folder in Program
files\exchsrvr\mailroot\vsi 1\UceArchive

I go to Program files\exchsrvr\ and there is nothing there but some
files......


Its weird though, because it is working, the spam is getting blocked,
its just blocking emails from blackberrys.....(@telus.blackberry.net
and @rogers.blackberry.net)

there has to be a way for the IMF to let any message through using that
email address, but I have yet to figure it out!

Test Blackberries after disabling IMF from the smtp virtul server -
does
that work?
Alternatively, set your gateway threshold to Archive instead, and test.
Do
you see Blackberry messages ending up in the Archive directory in
mailroot?
I haven't seen any BB messages being blocked by IMF yet, not to say
that it
isn't possible.

Hey,

We have just upgraded to exchange SP2, and have the IMF filter set at
6, which is working perfectly.....

I have noticed though that anyone here who has a blackberry and tries
to send email, the email gets bounced back, blocked by the IMF
filter.

I have talked to Rogers, and Telus, we have users of both carriers,
and
neither one of them can/will help, saying that its a IMF
problem......

I know it is the IMF that is blocking these emails from the BB's
because it started right when we upgraded, also the delivery bounce
back states the message was refused.

PLEASE HELP!!!!!!


Thanks,


Ryan
