Have you ever thought about "tagging" spam and still delivering it. It would be nice to be able to put a tag like [**** THIS IS SPAM ****] in the subject line. Using this you could build spam rules on the client and also help you build your whitelists/blacklists. Don't get me wrong I love quarantine option but it leaves the IT department making decessions about what to deliver and what not to.

Just a thought...

We may be able to add a option for each blacklist "method" (ex. dns, ip blacklist, domain blacklist, to, from etc) to have emails matching that category either deleted or quarantined. Can't promise anything yet, but we'll try.

Doesn't this sort of defeat the purpose of Spam Filter ? Maybe I am missing the application for this but my goal is to automate as much of the handling of spam as possible. If you tag it and pass it on then haven't you simply deferred the issue to the client workstation ?

The problem with dealing with Spam on the client workstation is this doesn't solve the problem of inapproprate and offensive spam. Also the work load is simply shifted to the user instead of at the server where it belongs.

Just a thought.

I would like to see the subject line tagging - this is what is holding me back from purchasing.  This function adds visibility to the users and "C level" people that something is being done.  With JUST the header being changed you MUST use outlook as your mail client in order to use (client only) rules, Exchange 2000 will not execute rules that look in the headers.  This means Outlook Web access users cannot creat rules to move/delete spam. 

We take this approach (clients create rules) to avoid someone jumping down our throats because something was deleted that should not have been.
