Thanks, Amit. I should have been clearer - I need to know HOW to configure the SPAM filter in Exchange Admin Center to (if possible) match the effectiveness of Google.

Thanks, Amit. I had seen these articles but they seem to involve a lot of research, but apparently, they are the only way. I would have thought someone would have come up with some generic rules that block most SPAM so we would not all have to re-invent the wheel each time, but apparently not.

Within Internet message handling services (MHS), a message transfer agent or mail transfer agent (MTA) or mail relay is software that transfers electronic mail messages from one computer to another using a client–server application architecture. A MTA implements both the client (sending) and server (receiving) portions of the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP). The terms mail server, mail exchanger, and MX host may also refer to a computer performing the MTA function. The Domain Name System (DNS) associates a mail server to a domain with mail exchanger (MX) resource records containing the domain name of a host providing MTA services.
