How Microsoft uses Exchange messaging protection
I get asked this quite a lot when I'm out on the road. "So is this how it works at Microsoft?" Well we've released a white paper and a presentation showing how we use Exchange 2007 Edge transport server to keep spam as far away as possible from the users. Here's the information directly from Microsoft IT
Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 Edge Transport and Messaging Protection
In deploying the Exchange 2007 based messaging protection solution, Microsoft IT used all messaging protection features of the Edge Transport server role and Forefront Security for Exchange Server to block, delete, reject, or quarantine unwanted messages. To further increase security, servers were hardened and audited for vulnerabilities to ensure readiness for Internet visibility. The many steps that Microsoft IT took to design a network environment, combined with the messaging protection features of Exchange Server 2007, resulted in greater flexibility, fewer false positives, and reduced TCO.
Technical White Paper | PowerPoint Presentation
I'll be presenting a similar session to this in the UK in summer as it's easily the biggest concern to the IT pro at the moment (and the demos aren't as variable in their response as my Unified Messaging demo!)
The white paper has all the facts you need to replicate this in your organisation too...
