 How many people do you know that take the time to read the manual on how to 
setup their TV or VCR, sorry I mean DVD-R recorder/player? :)

I agree people should read the manual before attempting things, but if that was 
the case there really wouldn't be a lot of need for mailing lists such as this. 
As I already stated I don't install things blindly I do skim through the 
deployment guide a few times looking over the important facts, the archive 
folder at the time wasn't important to me so I skipped it. 

Regards,
Andrew

Any responsible administrator who is setting up systems for their employer or 
customers usually takes the time to RTFM.  Maybe I am the exception.
 
I find that if I know how the product works and understand how to set it up 
correctly, the results are usually positive and I can do it right the first 
time, instead of having to rely on someone else to help me find and fix my 
problems.

No harm done Bob, but how many people do you think actually takes the time to 
read every single white page microsoft publishes; including deployment guide? I 
should have posted that I had found out the location by searching on google. I 
also found a better tool for reading the archived messages than the one Mark 
posted.

Andrew

Andrew,
 
Don't take this the wrong way but you might take a little time and read up on 
IMF and deployment.

Chapter 4 tells you where the archived messages are kept.
 
On the Intelligent Message Filtering tab, from the list in When blocking 
messages, select the action that you want Intelligent Message Filter to take 
when it assigns a message an SCL rating above the specified threshold. Choose 
from the following actions: 
.Archive to archive all messages marked as UCE with a rating above the 
specified threshold. Archived messages are saved to the archive directory. This 
directory is in the root directory of the Queue directory specified on the 
Messages tab of the SMTP virtual server properties. By default, the archive 
directory is Exchsrvr\Mailroot\vsi n\UCEArchive, where n is the SMTP virtual 
server instance number. By default, the \Exchsrvr directory is created in the 
<drive letter>:\Program Files parent directory. You can review messages in the 
archive directory by opening them in Notepad or using Microsoft Outlook 
Express. If you discover a legitimate e-mail message that has been archived, 
you can resubmit the message by placing it in the Exchsrvr\Mailroot\vsi 
n\pickup directory. The SMTP service will then deliver the e-mail message to 
the appropriate mailbox. 

 
 
Use IMF Companion to view the archived messages.  (Google for it)
