<Soap box time> To all of you who think that IMF is the end all be all in the war on spam, and are spending countless hours or days trying to configure it the way you want it, please take note: To date, there is only one single solitary way to eliminate spam: Do not use e-mail! IMF, like all other avenues, must be a part of a security configuration of which the war on spam is a part of. I see many people on here crying about IMF this and IMF that and it is broke and it should be perfect and all I can say is that is a bunch of hogwash. While Microsoft is attempting to provide us with tools to use in the war on spam, no one software vendor can provide perfect solutions for a wide wide range of things. IMHO, Microsoft should stick to providing us with the best server applications, including Exchange, around and leave the add-ins to 3rd parties who can concentrate on each particular problem best. <Off the soap box> John T eServices For You
