Aloaha SPAM Rejector extends the functionallity of the Exchange 2003 IMF Filter

Even though IMF is a very powerful SPAM Filter recent incidents on the Exchange Antivirus market have shown that you cannot rely on just one Virus Filter. Since the threads of AntiSPAM nowadays might be even higher than the threads of Viruses its about time that Mail Administrator start to consider to protect their server with multiple layer of SPAM Protection.

Another very important reason why rejecting SPAM Filter compliment excellent with Microsoft’s IMF is they way how they work. Rejecting makes only sense if you reject at the edge of your network. But do you really want to install Exchange unprotected at the edge of your network? We doubt it. Usually our customers install a relaying SMTP in the DMZ and their Exchange in the internal network. As soon you protect your Exchange with an other relaying SMTP you will experience that your “Badmail” suddenly gets flooded with SPAM emails, NDRs etc. That is exactly the situation where other rejecting solutions can extend the great functionality of the IMF.

Aloaha works as a transparent SMTP Proxy. That means that it forwards every data from extern to intern and from intern to extern. The same happens with the rejecting command of the Exchange IMF of course. Aloaha SPAM Rejector allows you to use the Exchange 2003 IMF Filter to its full potential not only on the Perimeter. Just protect your Exchange IMF with Aloaha and it does not matter anymore where in your network the Exchange Server is situated.
