Enabling IMFv2 in MS Exchange 2003

Enabling IMFv2 in Exchange SP2(As a reference after SP2/IMF v2 has been installed)


To enable IMFv2 filtering in MS Exchange SP2 you must first browse to Administrative Groups -> First Administrative Group -> Servers -> SMT-DC -> Protocols -> SMTP –> Default SMTP Server

Right-click on Default SMTP Server and select Properties

In the General Tab, click on Advanced -> Edit

Check the box for Apply Intelligent Message Filter and click OK.
You have now enabled IMFv2 for MS Exchange SP2.

To adjust the Gateway Blocking Configuration and Store Junk Email Configurations browse to Global Settings -> Message Delivery
Right-click on Message Delivery and click on Properties
Select the Intelligent Message Filtering tab and adjust the Gateway and Store Junk Email options

The Gateway portion is blocked immediately at the server level and users will not see those emails. Store Junk Email portion is all email which passes through the Gateway but will be deposited in the user’s MS Outlook Junk Email folder for their review if necessary. Remember, the lower the number, the more SPAM is blocked.
