Given
the amount of junk mail you probably recieve the last
thing you need is to have your email inbox overflowing
with even more junk email....especially when it can
be disturbing in content. Small Business Server 2003
has been designed to help manage you inbox effectively
and reduce wherever possible the amount of junk mail
you recieve.
Solving Problems
Spam
- Small Business Server 2003 includes Exchange Server
2003 which is Microsoft’s widely used messaging
and collaboration server. There are a number of technologies
included in Exchange Server to reduce the amount of
unwanted mail received and also control the usage of
email inside your organisation.
Distribution lists - you can restrict the sending
of email to distribution lists to certain authenticated
users, or specify which users can or cannot send mail
to individual distribution lists. In other words,
only allow certain people to email groups you create
(e.g. the whole business, clients). This will reduce
the risk of nuisance or damaging email being sent
either within your company or to external clients.
Support of real-time Safe and Block lists - reduce
the amount of unsolicited mail delivered to your organization
with connection filtering. Checks can be made on incoming
emails. Suspected junk mail can be filtered out and
sent either to the delete folder or to the junk mail
folder where you can check it.
Inbound recipient filtering - reduce unsolicited
e-mail messages by filtering inbound messages based
on the recipient. Messages that are addressed to users
that are not found, or to whom the sender does not
have the permissions to send, are rejected. This applies
only to messages sent by anonymously authenticated
users.
Privacy protection in Outlook and Outlook Web Access
- by default, content from outside your network is
blocked in Outlook 2003 and Outlook Web Access. This
feature helps prevent spammers from identifying valid
e-mail addresses through links to external content.
You can, however, override this feature to view external
content.
By using the features included in Small Business
Server, alongside an anti-virus program, you will
be able to
protect yourself from the majority of junk email and
remove infected email before it reaches users who
could
open it and infect your systems.
