OT: Exchange vs MS question

[Pete Russell]

Easiest way is to buy an Exchange antispam/virus software. The 
complication you would add would offer little value compared to the effort.

If you have that many problems on your internal email network i would be 
looking to solve those than change the way exchange works. Why are your 
exchange users sending spam?
