Re: Exhcange SERVER 2003- and SPAM
- IMF v2 has a Custom Weighting feature that allows you to check for
keywords and increase/decrease SCL based on those. It uses an xml file for
configuration. Check SP2 release notes for the syntax.

Also make sure the xml is saved in the correct format.

- As Lanwench said, that's not necessarily the best approach, but imo that's
necessary at times to accomplish the desired results (as also
whitelisting/blacklisting of email addresses and domains) when the automated
filtering doesn't seem to be doing its job.
