If your organization doesn’t use Edge Transport servers and has only Hub Transport servers, you should install and enable the anti-spam features on Hub Transport servers that receive messages from the internet. In this Step-by-Step Screencast we will demonstrate how to install, configure and test Anti-Spam functionality on Exchange 2010 Hub Transport Server.<\/p>\n

A very efficient Anti-Spam feature is the use of IP Block List providers. In our demo we will show you how to configure and test SpamHAUS as a DNSBL \u00e2\u20ac\u201c DNS-based Block List (or Blackhole, black list) provider. We will be using the combined and most powerful ZEN list – zen.spamhaus.org, and you will see different approaches to test your configuration.<\/p>\n

One of the overlooked steps, when configuring Exchange 2010 anti-spam functionality is specifying the internal SMTP servers in the InternalSMTPServers parameter. This will be reflected in your logs as event ID 1022 (MSExchangeTransport) – Anti-spam agents are enabled, but the list of internal SMTP servers is empty.<\/p>\n

Configuring and checking the Anti-Spam updates is also a very important task for the Exchange administrator. We compare the two update modes – manual and automatic, and the corresponding Standard and Enterprise Anti-Spam updates provided by Microsoft. You will see that even though the name of the update mode is manual, you can have your Standard Anti-Spam updates downloaded and installed automatically, and we will show you how to switch between manual and automatic Exchange 2010 Anti-Spam updates mode.<\/p>\n

In the following Step-by-Step video tutorial<\/a><\/strong>, you will see how to enable Anti-Spam Features on Exchange 2010 Hub Transport Server.<\/p>\n
