Manage Junk Mail settings remotely

[Guest]

Hi

Is it possible to manage the Junk Mail settings from Outlook 2002 (move to
junk mail folder, start and stop the filter) remotely, from a central point
like Active Directory or script?

No. The junk filter in Outlook 2002 isn't worth the effort anyway.

Thank you for your support

I will try from the exchange server programming site, using the Rule COM
component or the IExchangeModifyTable interface.

I would caution against using the Rule.dll COM component to create rules programmatically. Such rules will not be visible to the user. You may think that's a good thing, but it's also a potential source of help desk calls when users wonder why Outlook is moving items into a folder without any rules being present.

A better solution would be to add a real junk mail application to your installation, one that doesn't depend on static black lists.

Your are right. I would like to install the Intelligent Message Filtering on
the Exchange 2003 Server. But we have an other real junk mail application in
use. This box is unfortunately not working with Exchange Server.

Sadly, my hands are tied.
