Unfortunately it appears GFI isnt a solution for 2007 exchange if
running everything from the same box.. it requires the SMTP service.

And how does Exchange 2007 not have a SMTP service?

Exchange 2007 uses the new Hub Transport role, which is built into
AD.. so there is no default virtual smtp service and installing one
can cause serious harm to the system.

GFI pages specifically state that they support Exchange 2007, that's
good enough for me.

Actually.. it is true.. but only if you are running their v12 beta..
The regular released 12.0 will not work with Exchange 2007 on the same
box.

So I decided to try the beta.. it installs fine on the same box.
However, the actions tab.. redirect to a user's subfolder of their
inbox does NOT work.. There doesn't appear to be a workaround either.
Also.. In the short time i've had it running, i left it set to change
the subject line to have [spam] in the subject for spam.. For some of
my users who NEVER saw any spam, they have already reported at least 2
in the last 4 hours.. So it would appear, unless there is a
configuration i'm missing, that the overall spam protection is not
nearly as strong as Brightmail's.
