Book description

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. Guided by key members of the Microsoft Forefront team, you'll delve into system components, features, and capabilities, and step through essential planning and design considerations. 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.
