DNSBL Since the creation of the first DNSBL in 1997, the operation and policies of these lists have been frequently controversial,[2][3] both in Internet advocacy and occasionally in lawsuits. Many email systems operators and users[4] consider DNSBLs a valuable tool to share information about sources of spam, but others including some prominent Internet activists have objected to them as a form of censorship.[5][6][7][8] In addition, a small number of DNSBL operators have been the target of lawsuits filed by spammers seeking to have the lists shut down.[9] History of DNSBLs[edit] Later, the RBL was also released in a DNSBL form and Paul Vixie encouraged the authors of sendmail and other mail software to implement RBL support in their clients. These allowed the mail software to query the RBL and reject mail from listed sites on a per-mail-server basis instead of blackholing all traffic. Soon after the advent of the RBL, others started developing their own lists with different policies.

Exchange Server 2007: Managing And Filtering Anti-Spam Agent Logs Exchange 2007 includes a number of anti-spam agents to filter spam. The anti-spam agents log their actions in (anti-spam) agent logs.

Install / Uninstall Anti-Spam in Exchange 2007 by Daniel Petri - January 8, 2009 In Exchange 2003 the Anti-Spam system is part of the exchange installation and can be enabled or disabled by marking the relevant component on the SMTP Virtual Server: Exchange 2007 is built differently and a new element called Edge was added in order to handle Spam and Viruses, and because of this the traditional Anti-spam system is not installed as a default during the Exchange 2007 installation.
