Exchange 2003 Spam Filtering Options

by andrew06 . Updated 18 years, 7 months ago

Hi guys,

I’ve got a client who recently had an Exchange 2003 server installed at their office. It broke, so I was called in to clean up the mess. Upon inspection, I saw that of the 3 or 4 users of the system, they were receiving around 100-150 spam emails a day.

I asked them why they hadn’t done anything, and they just shrugged. So I setup filtering based on RBL’s and setup JEP(S) greylisting.

In the last month, they’ve had about 3500 spams blocked, but about 200 have been let through, and about 20/30 of those are legit.

My question to you guys (the community) is;

What can I do from within Exchange 2003 to help combat more of this spam? My clients don’t really want to spend any more money on a solution, but they want to improve it as much as they can without having to get a third party app like LanGuard Exchange, etc.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated! 🙂

Cheers,

Andrew
