RE: SORBS

["Dan Tesch" <dan.tesch () comcast net>]

For Exchange I have set up a few servers with MS's free filter that I think
is called
Intelligent Message Filter or something like that.  On the LAN I most
frequently work on
I get virtually no spam - it has two settings - one that the server uses to
filter at that
level and another that I think tags the message and it ends up in the Junk
Mail folder in
Outlook 2003 only.  I do get a few messages / day in the Junk Mail folder
and no false
positives that I know of at the server - sometimes a false pos. slips into
the JM folder.
Did I mention it is free?


I am considering setting up our Exchange servers to use some sort of SPAM
blocking list service. SORBS sounds like the wrong choice. Are there any
better options, or should I just learn to love deleting SPAM?
