IMFStats for the Exchange 2003 Intelligent Mail Filter

around lunchtime on Sunday, the 3rd of April 2005 by Chad

IMFStats works with the Microsoft Exchange 2003 Intelligent Mail Filter (IMF). If you happen to have a Microsoft Exchange 2003 server, and it is running the IMF plugin, give this a try.

When configuring the IMF filter, you need to set a few different settings, such as what to do with UCE, what level of “spamminess” to mark the cutoff, what to do with the Junk Email in Outlook, etc.

IMFStats works by pulling the real time statistics from your IMF filter, graphing it, and then analyzing the results. The analysis will help you determine which values to set in your configuration based on Microsoft’s recommendations.

IMFStats will automatically search Active Directory for Exchange 2003 servers, and then check each one for the IMF plugin before adding it to the list.

Give it a try, let me know what you think.
