Run SPAM Reports in E2k7
I need to run some reports detailing the amount of SPAM we are receiving, the portion that is tagged and discarded as SPAM, and those that are SPAM - tagged as such in the subject line - then passed along to our Inboxes.
From some of my reading, it seems possible to do this with MOM 2007 Operations Manager, but I dont have that. It would also seem that this is a product that needs to be purchased. Is there any other way to run the kind of reports I need?

Ok... I went to run the command through Exchange Management Shell and get the following error when running this command:
Get-AgentLog -StartDate "7/11/2008" | out-file c:\spam-report.txt
Error Message:
Get-AgentLog : The location "c:\program files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\TransportRoles\Logs
Is it possible that I need to turn a service on in order for it to record the AgentLogs? I drilled down the path that it was giving and its correct, there is no AgentLog under \logs

sorry - do you have edge transport server running? Run this command on your transport server (Edge if you have it or Hub if you dont and are running Exchange 2007 Anti-Spam filters).
Also you can check to see if the agent logs are being populated by navigating here in windows explorer: c:\program files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\TransportRoles\Logs

The agent log basically shows u all the e-mails sent/recieved between the dates you specify and what filtering was applied to them etc.

Ok... I'm not running an Edge Transport... Just a HUB Transport... I ran the command above on the Hub Transport ( my only Exchange Server ) and recieved that error. What am I doing wrong?
do you have the antispam agents enabled?
good article about agent logging: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb124795(EXCHG.80).aspx
"If you CAN'T afford SCOM one thing you could try would be outputting some of these scripts to a .csv then importing into Excel and generating a lovely excel graph of the relevant info (i did this before the days of SCOM 2007)."
