Get focused, real-world guidance for planning and implementing Forefront Protection for Exchange Server--and help protect enterprise e-mail from viruses, spam, phishing, and policy violations.

Deployment scenarios for Forefront Protection for Exchange include the Edge server, to inspect e-mail moving into and out of the corporate network; Exchange Hub Transport Server, to inspect e-mail moving within the organization; and mailbox servers, to inspect the contents of the user e-mail boxes and provide real-time protection against malicious attachments.
