Enabling Exchange 2007’s built in spam filtering module

Exchange 2007 has a built in anti-spam filtering module that just needs to be enabled.

Here are some simple instructions to get going with it. Once you’ve enabled this feature, you should see an anti-spam tab in the Exchange management console under Organization configuration > Hub Transport > Anti-Spam.

3. Run the following command:

./install-AntispamAgents.ps1

4. After the script has run, restart the Microsoft Exchange Transport service by running the following command:

Restart-Service MSExchangeTransport

5. Enable automatic anti-spam updates.
