Re: OT: Can IMF be tweaked

Hi Gary,

Thank you for your kind update.

I'm so sorry, I do not hear any information about adding this functionality
to the IMF. I understand that this limitations may inconvenience our users
and we apologize for the inconvenience you faced. In our efforts to
continue to improve our products, I will send your comments on to our
product group so we may use commentary such as yours to improve our
services. We welcome your further suggestions in our
www.microsoft.com/mswish link. Feel free to use this at any time.

Alternatively, I suggest you enable the Archive action when blocking
messages, and then monitor it, then properly reduce the value of the 'Block
messages with an SCL rating greater than or equal to' option, and then
properly increase the value of the 'Move messages with an SCL rating
greater than or equal to' option.

I appreciate your time and cooperation. If anything is unclear, please feel
free to let me know. I am looking forward to hearing from you.

Best regards,

Nathan Liu (MSFT)

>> How Intelligent Message Filter Works
>> ======================
>> When an external user sends e-mail messages to an Exchange server with
>> Intelligent Message Filter installed, Intelligent Message Filter
evaluates
>> the textual content of the messages and assigns the message a rating
based
>> on the probability that the message is UCE. This rating is stored as a
>> message property called a spam confidence level (SCL) rating with the
>> message itself. This rating is persisted with the message when the
message
>> is sent to other Exchange servers.
>>
>> An administrator sets two thresholds that determine how Intelligent
>> Message
>> Filter handles e-mail messages with various SCL ratings: a gateway
>> threshold with an associated action to take on messages above this
>> threshold, and a mailbox store threshold. If a message has a rating
higher
>> than the gateway threshold, Intelligent Message Filter takes the action
>> specified. If the message has a rating below the gateway threshold, the
>> message is sent to the Exchange mailbox store of the recipient. At the
>> Exchange mailbox store, if the message has a higher rating than the
>> mailbox
>> store threshold, the mailbox store delivers the message to the user's
Junk
>> E-mail folder rather than to the Inbox.
>>
>> 2. Does Sender Filtering bypass IMF?
>>
>> Answer: No, I strongly suggest you kindly refer to the following
>> information to understand:
>>
>> How Intelligent Message Filter Works with Exchange 2003 and Outlook
>> Filtering Features
>> ========================================================
>> Exchange?2003 provides a set of filtering features, which are also used
to
>> reduce UCE. These features are sender, recipient, and connection
>> filtering.
>> Each of these Exchange filters is checked during the SMTP session, when a
>> connecting SMTP server attempts to send e-mail messages to an Exchange
>> server. Intelligent Message Filter is applied after the SMTP session. Any
>> e-mail messages filtered by recipient, sender, or connection filtering
are
>> handled individually and do not go through Intelligent Message Filter.
>>
>> On the client side, Microsoft Office Outlook??2003 and Microsoft Office
>> Outlook Web Access for Exchange Server?2003 allow users to create a list
>> of
>> safe senders from whom they always want to accept e-mail messages and a
>> list of blocked senders from whom they always want to reject e-mail
>> messages. At the mailbox store, regardless of the SCL rating assigned to
>> the message, Exchange delivers all messages from safe senders to the
>> user's
>> Inbox and all messages from blocked senders to the user's Junk E-mail
>> folder. However, if the e-mail message has been blocked by the gateway
>> threshold, it is not delivered to the user's Inbox because it is never
>> delivered to the mailbox store.
>>
>> If a user is running an earlier version of Outlook, the safe senders and
>> blocked senders lists are not available. Any message marked as spam is
>> delivered directly to the user's Inbox.
>>
>> Note: If your users run an earlier version of Outlook, but can use
>> Outlook
>> Web Access2003, they can configure safe senders and blocked senders lists
>> in Outlook Web Access.
>>
>> Filters are applied in the following order:
>> =========================
>> 1. An SMTP server connects to Exchange and initiates an SMTP session.
>>
>> 2. During the SMTP session, Exchange applies connection filtering using
>> the following criteria:
>>
>> 1) Connection filtering checks the global accept list. If an IP address
>> is
>> on the global accept list, no other connection, recipient, or sender
>> filtering is applied, and the message is accepted.
>>
>> 2) Connection filtering checks the global deny list. If the IP address
of
>> the sending server is found on the global deny list, the message is
>> automatically rejected and no other filters are applied.
>>
>> 3) Connection filtering checks the real-time block lists of any
providers
>> that you have configured. If the sending server's IP address is found on
a
>> block list, the message is rejected and no other filters are applied.
>>
>> 3. After connection filtering is applied, Exchange checks the sender
>> address (the P1 information specified in the SMTP conversion by the MAIL
>> FROM command) against the list of senders you configured in sender
>> filtering. If a match is found, Exchange rejects the message and no other
>> filters are applied.
>>
>> 4. Exchange checks the recipient against the recipient list that you
>> have
>> configured in recipient filtering. If the intended recipient matches an
>> e-mail address that you filter, Exchange rejects the message and no other
>> filters are applied.
>>
>> 5. After recipient filtering is applied, Exchange checks the resolved
>> sender address (the P2 data) against the list of senders you configured
in
>> sender filtering. If the sender matches an address on the sender list,
>> Exchange filters the message based on the options you configured and no
>> other filters are applied.
>>
>> 6. If a message is not filtered by connection, recipient, or sender
>> filtering, Intelligent Message Filter is applied, and one of two things
>> happens at the gateway:
>>
>> - If Intelligent Message Filter assigns the message an SCL rating that is
>> higher than your gateway threshold, Intelligent Message Filter takes the
>> appropriate gateway action.
>>
>> - If Intelligent Message Filter assigns the message an SCL rating that is
>> lower than or equal to your gateway threshold, the message is passed to
>> the
>> Exchange server with the user's mailbox store.
>>
>> 7. If a user is using Outlook 2003 or Outlook Web Access with Exchange
>> 2003, the user's mailbox store compares the message's SCL rating with the
>> store threshold you configured, and one of two things happens:
>>
>> - If the message rating is lower than or equal to the store threshold,
the
>> mailbox store checks the user's blocked senders list configured in
Outlook
>> or Outlook Web Access, and one of two things happens:
>>
>> If the sender of the message is not on a blocked senders list configured
>> in
>> Outlook or Outlook Web Access, or if a blocked senders list is not
>> available or defined, the message is delivered to the recipient's Inbox.
>>
>> If the sender appears on the blocked senders list configured in Outlook
or
>> Outlook Web Access, the message is delivered to the user's Junk E-mail
>> folder.
>>
>> If the sender appears on the safe senders list, the message is delivered
>> to
>> the recipients Inbox.
>>
>> If the sender does not appear on the safe senders list or if a safe
>> senders
>> list is not available or defined, the message is delivered to the
>> recipient's Junk E-mail folder.
>>
>> Important: If your users are using versions of Outlook earlier than
>> Outlook 2003, the mailbox store thresholds have no effect and messages
>> filtered in Step7 are instead delivered to the users' Inboxes. However,
if
>> your clients can access e-mail using Outlook Web Access 2003, the store
>> thresholds are applied as described in Step7.
