Works great with SBS 2003. As a matter of fact it has nothing to do with SBS
but more with Exchange 2003. Using IMF you can monitor filtered emails. Most
people use RBL's with their IMF Connection filter. Not sure how it works in
combination with other SPAM filtering programs but can say I'm happy with it
and have no issues.

Does anyone here utilise IMF on their SBS? If so, how do you manage the
configuration and monitoring in day-to-day use?

Ive been reading the IMF Operations Guide
(http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=B1218D8C-E8B3-48FB-9208-6F75707870C2&displaylang=en)
and have done some minimal testing.

For anyone who does use it, would you consider it to be a suitable
replacement for 3rd party filtering software or just another level of
defense
to be used in combination?
