Note for SBS and other POP Users:<br />
The POP3 connector on SBS2003 uses CDO through the pickup folder for delivery and therefore it misses the &quot;End of Data&quot; event sink used by IMF. Therefore messages delivered through the POP3 connector wont be scanned by IMF.<br />

Hi Experts,<br />
<br />
Can anyone tell me how to tell if the IMF on SBS 2003 R2 Exchange 2003 SP2 is auto-updating itself. &nbsp;When originally installed it really seemed to do its job but now we are receiving a lot of spam email again and I have a feeling that IMF may not be up to date. &nbsp;Do they have to be manually downloaded and installed or should this happen automatically by default? &nbsp;If not can you tell me how to set it auto-update or where I can download the patches from?<br />
<br />
Regards<br />
Jon

Intelligent Message Filter updates on SBS 2003 R2

Small Business Server (SBS) is a line of server operating systems targeted at small businesses by bundling the operating system with a number of other Microsoft products that would normally need to be purchased or licensed separately. The most notable inclusions are Exchange, SQL Server, SharePoint and ISA/TMG (Microsoft's firewall and proxy server).

Exchange is the server side of a collaborative application product that is part of the Microsoft Server infrastructure. Exchange's major features include email, calendaring, contacts and tasks, support for mobile and web-based access to information, and support for data storage.
