There are two options for setting up IMF. These options are organization wide so they must be set carefully.
The first is Gateway Blocking Configuration. This setting allows you to choose what Spam Confidence Level (SCL) you want to block at the gateway and how you want to block it (Archive/Delete/No Action/Reject). The second option is the Store Junk email configuration. This option asks to you to select a SCL that would trigger the email to be moved to a users Junk Mail folder if they are using Outlook 2003. So if you don't want to do anything at the gateway you can set that to "No Action" Joel Stidley [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Erick Thompson Sent: Wednesday, May 26, 2004 3:10 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Exchange 2003 SP1 for spam I've always felt very uneasy about gateway blocking. I'd rather tag messages as spam, and let the users take a look at see if it's really spam or not. I assume that IMF allows me to do this.
