Exchange 2013 CU6, spam, builtin spam filter
I have a little exchange box I play with and host a few mailboxes on. It's Server 2012 R2 hosting Exchange 2013 CU6.
I'm using the builtin spam settings and I have it set really tight, like 4 to delete, 3 to NDR as spam and 2 to send to my junk mail folder in outlook. I am also using spamcop and spamhaus RBLs and I still get a lot of spam.
Share your thoughts in what the settings should be, what all can be done using just the builtin stuff and maybe I'll come up with a better setup than I have right now.
Thanks

Best way to control spam is to setup two level of filtering. You can use services from 3rd party vendor like Message labs and then you can setup other layer in your on-premises environment and can control more by creating custom rules. Look for Product like Brightmail from Symantec or trendmicro.
Also note, user education is very key in controlling spams. Educate user to avoid using company email address on public forums. That can also reduce spam emails.

I recommend you stop doing it on your Exchange and go with someone like Fusemail. We have been with them for years and I may get a spam once in a blue moon. Note that I get about 100 messages from Internet a day.

I normally NEVER respond to these, but I just have to say to Mohammed, REALLY? You posted that? Like I'd give up my BMW for a VW. OMG! :) All meant light heartedly. :)
