Intelligent Message filter is best option from Microsoft to Block Spams. You can put IMF on the gateway, front-end server, SMTP connector or even the Information Store. and can reduce spams drastically.<br />

Right, the IMF Tune will give me the option to black list a majority of the spam that is clogging up my sever. &nbsp;I have Exchange 2003 SP1. &nbsp;I have thought of using an external spam filter, such as the Open Source, along with the IMF Tune.<br />

The CEO is getting Viagra emails and he is not happy, go figure. &nbsp;He has obviously replied to one of those emails trying to get them to stop sending the messages. &nbsp;I told him that was a mistake but he seems to not want to accept that as an excuse.

My company gets a rediculous amount of spam. &nbsp;We must be on a list somewhere. &nbsp;Anyway, due to some unforseen circumstances I had to eliminate our spam server. &nbsp;Currently the server is holding up well. &nbsp;There have been some increase in the store.exe memory usage and messages in the queue, but not as bad as I thought.<br />

I have been looking for a good solution and was told about the IMF Tune from the Windeveloper site. &nbsp;Has anyone messed with that, and would you find that as a good solution for blacklisting spam?<br />

Thanks.

IMF Tune vs Anti Spam

Various techniques are used to prevent email spam (unsolicited bulk email). No technique is a complete solution to the spam problem, and each has trade-offs between incorrectly rejecting legitimate email (false positives) vs. not rejecting all spam (false negatives) - and the associated costs in time and effort. Anti-spam techniques can be broken into four broad categories: those that require actions by individuals, those that can be automated by email administrators, those that can be automated by email senders and those employed by researchers and law enforcement officials.
