Protecting Exchange against Spam

The first thing to consider when implementing an anti-spam package is where to place your anti-spam service. It can be installed as a mail relay (or on your mail relay if you already have one) on a dedicated server or as part of the Firewall services. It can also be installed on your Exchange server. Catching spam mail before it reaches your Exchange server seems like a good idea at first because it reduces the load on your servers in terms of CPU and database size. However, you would need to train your help desk personnel to fetch quarantined items from the anti-spam server. No anti-spam package can guarantee no false positives, that is e-mails you want to receive that are quarantined by the anti-spam server.

Windows Server 2008 x64 (Hyper V)

Windows Server® 2008 includes Hyper-V (formerly codenamed viridian), a powerful virtualization technology that enables businesses to take advantage of the benefits of virtualization without having to buy third-party software. The most widely leveraged benefit of virtualization technology is server consolidation, enabling one server to take on the workloads of multiple servers. For example, by consolidating a branch office’s print server, FAX server, Exchange server, and Web server on a single Windows Server, businesses reduce the costs of hardware, maintenance, and staffing. Hyper-V enables consolidation of a broad range of services ranging from resource-intensive services like Microsoft SQL Server™ to third-party applications that may run on previous versions of Windows® or Linux. In addition to reducing the cost of buying or leasing server hardware, virtualization reduces costs associated with managing server heat, electricity usage, physical space, and maintenance. To take...
