There's some useful information in this previously private exchange, so I'm forwarding to the list (with Bob's permission) so it will be archived.

AFAIK, any spam filtering done at the Exchange level wouldn't be overridable by a user. The caveat to that is that we're still running an ancient version of Exchange pending our upgrade to 2007 later in the fall. But I'll be surprised if the new version changes that behavior much. BTW, turning off Outlook's filtering is a very good idea, IMO. My experience was that it generated a lot of false positives. I finally turned it off and rely exclusively on Spambayes to mop up what our Barracuda doesn't catch. From: Jesse Pelton [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, October 02, 2007 11:17 AM To: Coe, Bob Subject: RE: [Spambayes] question Yeah, I was sloppy and should have been more specific, rather than treating Outlook and Exchange as if they're the same thing. You can turn off Outlook's filtering, but as far as I know, ordinary users can't prevent Exchange's Intelligent Message Filter from putting messages in their Junk folder. Only the Exchange administrator can do that, and then only on a global basis. Our administrator was unwilling to do that, with reason, since SpamBayes users are in the minority here. Caveat: My understanding is based in part on interpreting pages 7 - 10 of the "Microsoft Exchange Server Intelligent Message Filter v2 Operations Guide" available at http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa996624.aspx, but the document is somewhat ambiguous and I may have misunderstood. ________________________________ From: Coe, Bob [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, October 02, 2007 10:10 AM To: Jesse Pelton Subject: RE: [Spambayes] question Jesse, In the discussion you cited, you're quoted as believing that Outlook's spam filtering can't be turned off. That's certainly not the case in Outlook 2007 nor (as I recall) in Outlook 2003. In Outlook 2007 (the only one I have in front of me at the moment) it's Tools - Options - Junk E-mail - No Automatic Filtering.

Maybe Outlook or your mail server adds that as a service of sorts; you could try contacting the administrator of your mail server. See http://mail.python.org/pipermail/spambayes/2007-September/021212.html for a recent discussion of a similar issue (with no real resolution, unfortunately.) ________________________________ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jan Bouterse Sent: Friday, September 28, 2007 9:28 AM To: spambayes@python.org Subject: [Spambayes] question First, let me commend you on your awesome program!
