Re: Funny IMF V2 filtering

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry



That's exactly the funny part. For the whole time, the IMF was set to
Archieve messages that it intercepts. Why would it Rejected/Deleted a
message as indicated in the following event (ID:7512)?

- How did you determine IMF blocked/deleted the earlier message?
- Did you try having the same original message resent to the original
recipient? Did that work the second time?
- Set IMF Gateway action to Archive and test to figure out if it is indeed
blocked by IMF.
- No, there's very little control of IMF and the SCLs it assigns. You can
have mail from a particular sending host bypass Connection Filtering and
Content Filtering (IMF) by adding its IP address in Connection Filtering's
Global Accept List and enabling Connection Filtering on SMTP Virtual
Server.
- You can raise/lower SCL values based on certain keywords using the
Custom Weighting feature. Requires creating
MsExchange.UceContentFilter.xml file. Syntax and details in SP2 Release

Make sure you save it in the correct format (xml) with the correct
encoding. Also note, it's required to copy the file to the new folder
created by each IMF update.

An user recently reported that she can't recieve mail from a particular
sender. But when she asked the same sender to resend (forward) the same
message to a colleague, it succeeded. Through my investigation, I found:

1. She didn't set any rules to filter any message in her Outlook 2003;
2. Server has IMF V2 and other Exchange 2003 SP2 built-in mechanisms
enabled;
3. IMF blocked and deleted the message the first time it recieved the
message but allowed it when resend by the sender.

I want to know why IMF filter the message the first time but not the
subsequent resend? How come IMF rated the same message differently? How
can I control?

Thanks.
