Re: Intelligent Mail Filter (Mixed Mode)

I am reading that the Intelligent Mail Filter is not supported in a clustered
environment. My Gateway server is not clustered but my mailbox servers are.
Can I still use the Intelligent Mail Filter?

I am running exchange server 2003 SP2

In the same dialog box in Global Settings | Message Delivery | Intelligent
Message Filtering.

Gateway threshold is intended to drop (or archive or reject) messages at the
Gateway - this is the first Exchange Server 2003 server that receives
internet mail and stamps a SCL on it.

Once the "gateway" drops/rejects/archives all messages meeting/exceeding
gateway threshold, the remaining messages are sent to the user's Store for
delivery. Here, the Store threshold comes into play - it is intended to move
messages meeting/exceed this threshold to user's Junk Mail folder.

Store threasholds?

Where do you configure that?

Gateway threshold = 8, Store threshold = 5 seems to work (across may
deployments), with Store threshold raised to 6 at times.

Thank you for all the info. It was very helpful.

What do you use for your SCL ratings.

No... not necessarily Front-Ends. FEs, if they're running SMTP, may or
may
not receive SMTP mail.

Inbound SMTP mail is received by the server(s) that the MX record(s)
in
your
external DNS zone point to. If these are your FEs, they should receive
inbound internet mail and can be said to be your gateway servers.
Else,
the
MX could point to Bridgehead servers (SMTP virtual servers that serve
as
Bridgeheads for Connectors), mailbox servers, or non-Exchange SMTP
hosts
which in turn forward the inbound mail to Exchange server(s).

When microsoft refers to gateway servers, are they talking about the
Front-ends?

No you don't. Check SMTP virtual server properties \ General tab |
Advanced
(next to IP address) | select IP address | Edit. You should see the
checkboxes for all filters, including IMF v2.

All I see is MSCFV2. I am pretty sure we have never installed
V1.

Do we need to me in Native Mode?

Did you ever install IMF v1? If yes, uninstall it first. Not
sure
if
it's
installed? Check \exchsrvr\bin folder - do you see MSCFV1 folder
in
it?
If
yes, you still have IMFv1 installed. If you don't see it in
Add/Remove
Programs, you will need to reinstall IMFv1, then uninstall it,
and
apply
Exchange Server 2003 SP2 which includes IMF v2.
