Hello,<br />
<br />
Does anyone know if it is possible to exempt recipients from any of the Exchange Edge Transport anti-spam rules? &nbsp;Specifically, the Attachment Filter rule?<br />
<br />
We have a couple of internal system mailboxes which need to be able to receive .exe and other attachments from Internet sources. &nbsp;However there seems to be no way of allowing this, short of disabling the Attachment Filter rule entirely. &nbsp;I'd rather not do that, but as far as I can tell, this is the only way. &nbsp;I know you can exempt connectors, but this is no use to us.<br />
<br />
Unless I'm being thick, this seems to be a serious shortcoming of the Edge Transport role. &nbsp;I'd settle for being able to forward blocked email to a mailbox (as with the Content Filtering role), but it seems you can't even do that. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
Thanks
