Exchange 2007 and AntiSp@m Agents

14 01 2008

My outlook 2007 client is filtering my email, but most of the SPAM messages are arriving in my mailbox and when using OWA I still need to manually filter the messages. Networknet.nl domain is running now for 7 years on the internet and many SPAMMERS added the email addresses to their lists. On daily basis I receive 25-30 SPAM messages.

I am listen to 24 hours of Exchange 2007 podcasts in my car and today Harold Wong give me some tips in his thirteenth session of the webcast.

One day of SPAM in my mailbox.

Out of the box Exchange 2007 Antispam agents support the following

1) Connection Filtering

2) Content Filtering

3) Sender ID

4) Sender Filter

5) Recipient Filter

6) Protocol Analysis

When these are enabled most common SPAM messages will be blocked at the Exchange 2007 HubTransport level.

How to install the AntiSpam agents?

The script is located at:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\Scripts\install-AntispamAgents.ps1

Start the Exchange Management Shell and go the directory. Run the install-AntispamAgents.ps1 script.
