Jason, I use a separate gateway product called MailFronier ASG. This
sits in front of our Exchange system. All inbound mail that comes from
the internet hits this system first and is filtered for SPAM. No rules
to setup, just levels for the sensitivity of catching SPAM. Everyday
user's get one message from this system listing all the e-mail the
system caught for that user. Links in the message allow a user to
release or view the message if a false positive. Users can also logon
to the server to manage their own settings (nothing harmful) and search
for junk that was heading to them. The product pulls the directory from
Exchange (LDAP) so that they can logon to the system with their AD
accounts. This is also how the system gets it mail addresses from. I
have setup this so if mail from non-existant users hits the gateway to
drop. This product is great for the admin with little time. It will also
update itself with rule sets from Mailfrontier hourly. Nice product with
little or no maintenance.
You can also get the product with anti-virus option, content filtering
option, anti-fraud, and others.

Be sure to post you MX record for this new server a couple of days in
advance so that it has time to replicate across the internet. After
verifying all is working correctly, remove the MX to your exchange
server so mail does not bypass the GFI server.

Thanks for the suggestions, sounds like a plan!!!
Although, let me understand this correctly:
I have to install it on a separate box (SMTP server) other than my
Exchange server?
Thanks for your time.

GFI Mail Essentials... inexpensive but good.
Download the trial and you can test it (full version) for 30 days or
so...
I promise you will not find a better solution for the money. I
currently use it for my Exchange 5.5 environment with over 1500
mailboxes... it is VERY strict out of the box, so you will want to edit
the filters to meet your company's needs before implementing. But that
only took me 2 days total...
Regards,
Chris

Hello everyone,
I'm at my wits end trying to fight SPAM at the client level. Does
anyone have any good recommendations for SPAM blockers at the server
level? We are receiving 150-200 SPAM messages per mailbox per day!!! I
am running an NT 4.0 Server running Exchange Server 5.5. Our network is
very small - 30 Exchange mailboxes.
Keep in mind cost, ease of use setting up, configuring, maintaining,
etc.
Thanks for any recommendations!
--Jason Davis
