Thanks Simon. &nbsp;Funny how searching for 'disabling transport agents' did not list results about this specific cmdlet.

In trying to determine why a couple of my users did not receive emails that passed through our spam filter, I've ran into an issue where those email's deliveries FAILED because of 'Source: AGENT'<br />
<br />
So now Im at the point of disabling all antispam agents on that server to help figure out which one is causing this. &nbsp;However right-clicking on the rules and selecting 'Disable&quot; then restarting the Transport service does not actually disable the rules.<br />
<br />
The GUI says the rules are all disabled, however get-transportagent still says every rule is enabled. &nbsp;And the test messages still fail delivery.<br />
<br />
I've tried restarting the transport server, as well as the mail submission, information store, EdgeSync, Service Host, and still the rules stay Enabled.<br />
<br />
Do I have to reboot the entire server before this bloody Rules will be disabled?
