The Brightmail Oulook Plugin
Created: 21 Jan 2010 | 10 comments
This is the Brightmail Outlook Plugin that is included with Mail Security for Exchange. It is also compatible with the Brightmail Appliance spam policy labeled "Deliver the message to the recipient's spam folder".
The problem is that this download is only included with Mail Security for Exchange and cannot be downloaded anywhere else.
Please see the following statement about supporting the Outlook Plugin. It is no longer supported, but still works with Exchange 2003.

Thanks for digging up the old unsupported Outlook Plugin; who knows, one day it might get a new life.

I use it to route the astadmin emails to a spam folder on my production machine. It works pretty OK. When I first log on for the week it doesn't usually catch them all, so I sometimes have to manually mark them as spam.

I definitely can appreciate this tool as an option because SPAM mail can take up precious time when you are trying to sort through your messages each day. By capturing the messages in a folder, they can easily be housed and deleted quickly.

This is definitely a great tool but I feel the best option would be for all of the Brightmail products to all have the ability to add an SCL level to a messages so they will go to the Junk folder on Outlook.

I'd rather they DIDN"T go into the Exchange outlook folder. We have a noticable false positive rate with MS Junk folders and, if we did quarantine, would rather just send a daily digest.
With 9.0's improved LDAP support, it might be worth looking into. The problem is we have 2 control centers, so user would get mulitple digests.
Well that is your perogative
Well that is your perogative but as you stated, your users are already used to looking in the Junk folder for false positives, so it would be an easy migration.
Having to log into the SBG interface to check false positives is more involved and not as easy to search through.

Heh, My ISP uses a competivite product with a very nice Daily Digest and easy to use web interface.
Is it possible in SBG 9 to set up per-user quarantine for only a subset of users? e.g. to pilot the use? Also if I have to CC's is it possible to push all quarantines to a specific CC? e.g. using a route on the suspect spam rule to the specific CC?
