Hi Steve,
 
I don't think there's a hook into the SMTP Message screener, but you
might check out the SDK. I think MS wanted to leave this area open to
3rd parties, but wanted to include a base product for people who wanted
to use "sweat equity" to manage their spam :-)
 
HTH,
Tom

        I was reading "Exchange and Outlook UPDATE, Outlook Edition,
February 18, 2003" (from
Exchange-and-Outlook_UPDATE@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx), and it talks abut
Bayesian spam filtering and open-source initiatives to produce Outlook
addons and etc.  

        I was thinking that if the ISA SMTP filter had any API hooks
(ala ISAPI filters for IIS), one could be worked into that product,
heading off spam without touching any clients.  So....

        Does anyone know if/how the SMTP filter can be hooked to run
external code when it receives mail? 

        Thanks.
