Thanks for the information. I was on holidays, and set my mailbox to delete all from this list - so that I would not have a ton of messages upon return.

There's nothing you can do until you show your users how they actually get on people's sh!t lists. If you can teach them how to avoid behavior that gets them on people's sh!t lists, then and only then your spam input will decrease. Sure, you can install something like eManager (since you have ScanMail already, it's a cheap buy) but that just masks the problem. Rest assured that Richard Cranium in accounting will subscribe to the cooking channel mailing list, or Jenny the Office Manager will forward the "Good Luck Totem" to everybody in her address book. At that point Richard and Jenny will complain even louder when they receive spam because the content filter that YOU put in place doesn't work. Then Johnny the PHB will tell you to increase the effectiveness of your content filter or lose your job. You'll do it and Richard and Jenny will complain to Johnny that they are not receiving business critical e-mails. Then Johnny will order you to go through all blocked messages and forward anything that is business critical. Soon, you'll discover that you can't do anything else but review the quarantined messages. You'll advise Johnny the PHB to promote Avi the OfficeBoy to "Information Delivery Specialist" position where he can go through all the messages so you can go back to installing service packs. Should I go on?

I was wondering what other people are doing to filter out junk mail, adult content, etc before it hit's their exchange server. We have: A sonicwall coming in... W2K with exchange 5.5 SP 4 And trend scan mail. Thanks in advance!
