Tim: good question, I should have put info about the availability of IMF in the post. This article by Paul Robichaux talks about the distribution method of the IMF and gives his thoughts about it: http://www.winnetmag.com/Article/ArticleID/41816/Windows_41816.html

I am a consultant and MSDN subscriber. Can I get IMF yet? I also have Exchange 2003 with SA. Just curious when it will be public or where I can get it to betatest now. Send me an email because I don't think newsgator will update with your comments.

this would indicate that its not being made availble to us isv's and exchange partners ?

This seems an increasingly common theme where isvs/partners aren't considered.

This is similar to the WinPE situation where oems and SA licencees are allowed to use butno consideration is iven to us isv's being asked to support our apps on it whilst being denied access to test.

again and again msdn proves it does not provide the all encompassing platform availbility it promises (imf,WinPE, storage server etc).

is anyone addressing this ? I have asked in the exchange partner access program(ed beck) but got no answer...

Hmm...I sure hope it's included in MSDN. I'm pretty sure my directors will never authorize us to buy SA just to get IMF. Too bad, I've really been looking forward to giving it a try.

The IMF was released today, to everyone. See http://www.e2ksecurity.com/archives/000810.html.

Seems to work well but I can't find documented anywhere the apprarent need to restart the ExchangeIS services on all servers hosting mailboxes for new IMF settings to take effect.

If you know of a way around this I'd be interested to hear it.

Does microsoft have any plans to update the content filtering database of IMF, available in the following path

exchsrvr\bin\MSCFv1MSExchange.UceContentFilter.dat

This file is dated 12th feb.

Other AntiSpam vendors like Realsecure Provincia, TrendMicro seem to update their SPAM fingerprint database once in a while.

Yes I believe Microsoft does have a plan to update the IMF filtering engine on a regular basis. I do not know if the plan for how and how often has been finalized. The SmartScreen engine in Outlook is updated roughly monthly via OfficeUpdate.
