This is just a note to say thanks to the developers of SpamBayes! I have been using SB to weed out junk mail from my entire Exchange Information Store with a single installed copy for over a year. Since Monday my little SB box has been dutifully removing the thousands (yes, THOUSANDS) of bogus email thanks to the Sober worm.
Here are my specifics:
- Exchange 5.5 w/ 100 mailboxes (96 monitored with SB)
- Outlook 2002 with 96 mailboxes connected
- SpamBayes 1.0b1 (April 2004)
- Windows XP SP2 on a HP Compaq d220 1.8GHz with 1GB RAM

This app has saved me from having to deal with end-users complaining about all the junk email, about 2GB of disk space, and at least once saved me from a virus outbreak for which Trend Officescan had no pattern for about 6 hours. The best thing is I do this all from a single pc and don't have the hassle of training end-users on where to look when the mail disappears.
The only complaints I have had are from end-users who have enabled notification in Outlook. They will get a notification that they have new mail but, when they look in the Inbox there is no new mail -- because SB has sucked it out of their Inbox!
Thanks,
