Hello Les,

I downloaded the IMF ops guide. I found RBL in KB. Isn't an RBL list a fee
for subscription service from a provider?

cheers,
Michael

Hi Mike,

Start with what you have already: (Exchange SP2)

1. Configure RBL in Exchange
2. Configure IMF in Exchange
3. Configure the SMTP filters in Exchange

What Exchange anti-virus application do you have installed, perhaps there's
an anti-spam/anti-spyware option that you can add in that will integrate.
Once the first three (free) items have reduced the spam to a trickle, a
third party app can clean up nicely. I likeTrend CSM 3.6.
