Symanec Endpoint Protection Suite and Exchange 2003 archive mailbox not being filtered

George78's picture

Hi all

I am evaluating SEP Suite for the purpose of a customer of mine. This customer is receiving huge amount of spam and virus.Symantec does a good job on stopping both risks but not with the archiving folder on exchange 2003.
I would like to know if there is any different procedure to filter all mail that is saved on exchange 2003 archive mailbox as i dont know why all spam messages are not going to junk folder.

Thanks
George

Yes we have SEP Potection

Yes we have SEP Potection Suite Small Business and mail security is already installed.

An IT friend of mine told me that by default archive mailbox take precedence on antispam software thus the reason for not being filtered. He recommended that only smtp gateway antispam solutions can filter also archive mailboxes.

I really like to hear your opinion about that as i cannot find anything related on the internet

Thanks
