Exchange 2010 SPAM Filtering

We've recently migrated from 2003 SBS to 2011 SBS, I've set up the detailed network report which shows various aspects of the server health.

Everything shows fine but i do get a little worried when i look under Spam Protection for e-mail and get 70+ rejected messages each day.

Is there any way of seeing what these messages are? I cant see any obvious way of doing this.

They use messagelabs for their SPAM filtering which does a very good job, i'm just concerned that Exchange may be rejecting valid emails.

Just disable all the Exchange Anti-Spam features via the Exchange Management Console> Organisation Config> Hub Transport> Anti-Spam.  Set all to Disable.

Then you will just be using Messagelabs and Exchange won't filter further.

I dont really have a problem with Exchange also doing the filtering, it's just  i want to know what it has rejected. Is there a way i can see what messages have been rejected?
Only if you enable SMTP Logging - which isn't enabled by default.

You can enable the logging, then check daily, but you won't see what has already been rejected unfortunately.
