Integrating MailScanner, SpamAssasin and Exchange

[Mark Spieth]

Yes both can do a filter based on header information. This filter when
running exchange will be a server side filter so the exchange box will
actually be moving the email. Just tell the outlook client to look for
the header information and move it to the appropriate folder or action.

No way to do this globally on the exchange server its self although.

Both are interesting options.. The first is a way to dump all spam into
a
single folder so that a Sysadmin can at least wade through for false
positives.

As Ugo pointed out, however, it would be nice to give the control to
users. If that is indeed the case, can that be handled be the Mail
Client?
Does Outlook or Outlook Express support filtering based on mail headers?
