RE: OT : New domain provider need - with wildcard email forwarding

How about some hints as to how to set this up. I get quite a lot of spam
and being away frome home this week, I realise how much is actually getting
through exchange; it would normally get caught by spambayes, but I'm not
using Outlook this week, so it's all getting through to my inbox. So:

1. What figures do you have IMF set for
2. How do you do the SPF tagging? Is this the senderID stuff?

Thanks

We just use Exchange 2003 with its IMF filter enabled and SPF tagging (so,
the SPF affects the Spam score).



Works a wee treat - I dropped from around 100 or so spams a day to single
figures in a week - and the only spam I ever do get is delivered to the
backup MX, rather than the main one. What I do now is use a copy of outlook
running in cached mode as a POP3 collector, rather than SBS's builtin one -
it neatly handles multiple accounts, applies spam filtering to all incoming
POP3 mail and is generally great.



Exchange 2K3's filters are updated fairly regularly too - any time we see a
subtle increase in spam again it gets knocked on the head pretty sharpish.



Ian.
