So, I did have to restart the server one more time after disabling everything. That actually makes sense since the changes are at the Org level. After that, some of the messages I have that were going to junk are now going to the inbox. I've checked with a few other people and they are getting the same results as well with other messages. I still wish I knew what triggered it. I've looked back through my notebooks and the SCL level was set to 4 way back in July of 2007. It's almost like it has never really worked right and then all of a sudden it started filtering after the updates or the reboot from the updates. Prior to that, the server was last rebooted with January updates. Thanks for all the help! -Bonnie -----Original Message----- From: Miller Bonnie L.

Now that it's installed, I found the buttons to disable most everything and we'll see if it's better over the weekend. Not sure what else to do. -Bonnie -----Original Message----- From: Roger Wright [mailto:rhw...@gmail.com] Sent: Friday, February 19, 2010 2:04 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Re: E-mails to junk folder http://www.petri.co.il/install-anti-spam-exchange-2007.htm Die dulci fruere!
