Re: Configure e-mail Forwarding not to include SPAM

Race condition would be a stretch here. You could enable some Message Tracking to see how fast the messages are being processed and delivered to confirm. I would recommend Postini or Spam Soap to your client. Price it out, you may be surprised the cost are very comparable and you will get so much more in features and support.

I have consider Postini and now might have to persuade my client of doing so.

Below is what cloud mark informed me that why it worked in Exhange 2000 and
not 2007. What do you guys think?

"So I presented your situation to the engineers, and I'm afraid it's not
good news. It looks like the only reason why the forwarded messages were
filtered on Exchange 2000/Windows 2000 is because of a race condition.
Exchange 2000 was probably so slow that it allowed CSE to filter the messages
before they were forwarded. Exchange 2007, on the other hand, is so fast,
that it forwards the messages before CSE can filter them. I'm sorry as I
know that's not what you wanted to hear.

Instead of forwarding, we recommend allowing your users to download messages
via POP which will allow CSE to filter the messages."

That is a very good point. I prefer Spam Soap which gives you an email link
to your Spam Folder on the Spam Soap servers similar to Postini and others.
