How to configre anti-spam in Forefront Protection 2010 for Exchange

Last week I switched from Symantec Mail Security for Exchange which was running the anti-spam agent on an E2K3 box to Forefront Protection 2010 for Exchange on an E27K box. It seemed that Symantec caught more spam or virtually all of it. I am not sure if Forefront is configured right or if it is not a good as Syamntec. Below are my settings and spam examples that are getting through in large quantities.
Thanks for any help.

Interesting that the SCL (spam confidence level) is set to -1, this normally between 0 and 9 for delivered emails. The value of -1 is reserved for microsoft exchange internal email - ie mail that is sent within your own organisation as opposed to having arrived from outside.

Excellent, sounds like I was on the right path but I am surprised MS have not notified the issue with 2007 and that a potential fix exists. That is a fairly naughty omission.
