I've just recently realised that spam rules aren't being checked when
people check their mail via OMA or webmail.

I'm practically getting only 1 or 2 negatives for each 30-40 spam I
received when using outlook (the rest go automatically into my spam
folder (and about the same number of positives).

So you can understand my dissapointment when accessing email via oma or
web and finding all this spam in my inbox.It's just become a real
problem now that I access my mail via my 8525.

Is this normal or do I have a configuration problem?


TIA Dean

I second a separate mail server to accept-filter-and pass email to exchange.

products to use for a mail gateway server.
An Excellent open source windows mail server www.hmailserver.com (also add Clamav for virus scanning)
Open source spam filter: ASSP Anti Spam Proxy http://assp.sourceforge.net

It will take a bit to get going, but is a very good solution (IMO)

One more note: I would put this mail server in a DMZ.

inbound
somedomain mail server---->ASSP---->hmailserver----->exchange

out bound
exchange---->ASSP---->hmailserver----->somedomain mail server

This config will build a white list from user sent emails. That way address on the white list will not be checked for spam. (if that is what you want)
