Hi there My original installation of ISA Server excluded the setup of the SMTP filter as I appeared to have problems with receiving mail etc. I have now got some time on my hands ( yeah right.!) and would like to start playing with it again. I would like to know of any "out-the-box" tricks that I need to use to get it working properly. I know for one thing that the default NOOP value of 6 is apparently too small. Could someone please let me know what a more acceptable NOOP setting is, as well as any other variables/settings that I need to customise, or be on the lookout for. Any reference to reading material to assist with the comprehension of this topic would be a great asset.
