Anti-spam Forefront for exchange

Hello,
I am having an issue with the anti-spam. I have a 2010 exchange and forefront for exchange version 11.0.713.0. We have been just using filter lists to identify spam and then send them to a junk-mail box. I was looking through he Forefront settings and enabled
the anti-spam and all I would get is a loading bar then eventually it will error out and close. I was able to disable it via command line but now my filter lists are not stopping the spam anymore. I just need one of the methods to work the users are getting
a lot more spam since all this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I was looking through he Forefront settings and enabled the anti-spam and all I would get is a loading bar then eventually it will error out and close.
Hi,
What's the error you encountered? Could you please upload a screenshot?
Any changes that you make to the antispam settings with the user interface will not work unless antispam functionality is enabled successfully.
Have you tried to use command line to enable spam filtering?

How to test if Spam protection with Forefront for Exchange 2010 works

Hi there.
Installed forefront for exchange 2010 on Exchange Edge server.
We have tested virus protection with creating EICAR, but the question is, is there a way to check if SPAM Works fine, and how to?
with best regards
bostjanc

Hi bostjanc,
Since this is an issue on the Forefront side, I suggest ask Forefront Forum for help so that you can get more professional suggestions. For your convenience:
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/forefront/en-US/home?forum=FOPE
However, based on my knowledge, use the EICAR antivirus test file is the only built-in method to check whether the Anti-Spam configured correctly.
You can try to send some test spams to your Exchange server for testing, even if this is a stupid method : )
Thanks

Forefront for exchange 2010 - how long?

Hi there.
Read this article: http://blogs.technet.com/b/server-cloud/archive/2012/09/12/important-changes-to-forefront-product-roadmaps.aspx
I would have additional question.
Our company is MS Gold Partner and we need to renew our yearly license every year around AUGUST.
We are thinking about changing our SPAM filter external gateway with exchange edge, but as we can see from that article, you Will be unable to renew it license after December 2015.
I know that Microsoft offers online Forefront protection but that is not option in our case because of data sensitivity.We need an answer how long we Will be able to get updates regarding forefront for exchange 2010 and be licensed ok?
I guess after 2015 december Forefront Exchange 2010 Will no longer recieve spam updates thru Windows update, right?
And also engines Will not be updated after that date?
Is this the correct view and understanding?
with best regards
bostjanc

Hi Bostjanc,
>>how long we Will be able to get updates regarding forefront for exchange 2010 and be licensed ok?
I think you must have seen the information below in that blog.
For current customers, Microsoft will continue to support the subscription through Dec.31, 2015. If customer subcriptions expire before Dec.31, 2015, and annot be renewed because the product is no longer offered, these products will continue to be supported
through that date in order to provided with customers sufficient time to move to alternative solutions.

Uninstall Forefront for Exchange 2010

I have acquired another spam filter appliance that will used instead of Forefront for Exchange 2010.
How do I uninstall Forefront for Exchange 2010 without any issues while still using Exchange 2010.
Basically the email will go through the email appliance filter then to Exchange. I want to deactivate or uninstall Forefront for Exchange with impacting my email services. Is it as simple as just uninstalling it?

Hi,
About uninstalling Forefront for Exchange 2010, you could check the following article.
If spam filtering was enabled, the configurations in the corresponding antispam settings in Microsoft Exchange that were leveraged by FPE will be retained by their Exchange antispam counterparts after FPE is uninstalled. These settings include: Connection
Filtering, Sender ID Filtering, Sender Filtering, and Reciepient Filtering. To change these configuration settings you will need to modify them through the Exchange management console.

Is there anti-spam software for Ipad2?

I have anti-spam software on my laptop and desk top. But, seemingly, there is no anti-spam software for my iPad and/or iPhone.
Or is there?

You don't need such software, thus none is available.

Forefront for Exchange 2010 - no mails in quarantine or incidents list

I have a client with Forefront 2010 installed on their exchange 2010 server. I see 45 messages that have been blocked as spam in the dashboard - 43 connection, 1 smtp and 1 content.
The client wants to know which messages are being blocked and which aren't, however when I open up the incidents and quarantine pages there is nothing there.
They have the antispam configuration set to stamp headers and continue for SCL5 to 9 and it seems to me that things should be in the quarantine.
I have all the logging options turned on and I've followed the other technet threads about this issue but none of those solutions seem to work on this machine.
If anyone has any ideas I would really appreciate it!

Hi,
Firstly, please make sure if you have enabled the anti-spam filtering engine of FPE. If yes, please refer to the blog below:
Exchange Content Filter settings are ignored
Besides, please make sure you have installed all the released hotfix rollups for FPE. Please also make sure that you have enabled "Enable content filtering incident logging" in Advanced Options of Global settings.
You can deliver quarantined items to specified recipients and set emial notification.
In addition, only an Administrator can access/manage the quarantine of FPE.
Please also ensure that you haven't configured FPE to automatically purge quarantined in a short time.
FPE content filter uses the Cloudmark™ Antispam engine to analyze each e-mail message and stamp it with a SCL.
When the setting 5 – 9 is selected, all messages with a rating of 5 or higher are treated as suspected spam.
Messages with an SCL rating of -1 and 0 will be treated as non-spam. You have the option to Quarantine or Stamp header and continue processing mail with an SCL rating in the 5 – 9 range.
If the issue persists, you can adjust the SCL setting to a lower value to see if the issue persists.

Forefront for Exchange Server

Before upgrading to Exchange Server 2013 we were using Exchange Server 2010 with Forefront Protection 2010 for Exchange Server to protect our system from virus/ malware, it works effectively. After upgrading to Exchange Server 2013, the forefront Protection
2010 does not support Exchange 2013. I know that MS added anti malware function to Exchange Server 2013 but it does not work effectively.
So the question is: does MS has any other program instead of Forefront Protection 2010 which support Exchange Server 2013.

Hi,
You could have a look at Exchange Online Protection that hosted email filtering service.

Forefront for Exchange Server is not blocking emails by IP

I have 3 Servers for Exchange: Client, Mailbox, and Edge.
I have Antispam configured on my Edge server with IP Block list enabled but I am getting numerous emails from China's IP block even though I blocked all of the .cn network.
The following is entered in my IP Block list for .cn:
59.56.0.0-59.61.255.255
183.0.0.0-183.63.255.255
I confirmed server is up to date on patches, etc.
Exchange Version on all Servers:
14.03.0174.001
Forefront Version on all Servers:
11.0.713.0
However when looking at Help>About MS Forefront Protection the Exchange Version does not match...
Exchange Version Reported in Forefront
Mailbox: Exchange Version 14.03.0174.001
Client: Exchange Version 14.3.123.4
Edge: Exchange Version 14.3.123.4
Not sure if this is going to be an issue but wanted to make note of it.

no way for checking emails which use a proxy like https page to acces???

Forefront for exchange 2010 setup wizard preinstall update request

I'm trying to install FPE, but even before I install and after the extraction of the files im getting the following error message on both my CAS servers.
I have the following roles installed on this Client Access Server im using for the initial install of Forefront.
Do I need to install active directory domain services before I continue.

Hi,
Firstly, please refer to the similar thread below:
FSEMachinePrep.exe
fails saying Server Unavailable
Based on my research,
Microsoft Forefront Protection 2010 for Exchange Server (FPE) can be deployed on Exchange Edge Transport, Hub Transport, Mailbox server, or combined
Hub/Mailbox roles.
Exchange 2010 requires Active Directory to be in place except for the Exchange 2010 Edge role (for DMZ) which can be deployed in a workgroup with Active Directory Lightweight
Directory Services. Both Exchange (Mailbox, HUB and CAS role) and therefore FPE requires an Active Directory on site.
Did you set up a domain environment for exchange server? If yes, please check the group membership of the user and make sure that it is a member of the Organization
Management role group. In addition, please also make sure that you can connect to the primary domain controller on the CAS servers.

[Forefront for Exchange] Disabled vBuster engine keeps trying to update and sending emails

Good day and thank in advance for any help.
As object, I've disabled vBuster from my FPE, both updates and scans.
I have also set "update once" on the scheduling for it (even if it's disabled). Sadly It still keeps sending me an email every our telling me vBuster is unable to update! When I call for an "Engine Summary " it correctely reports that Updates are disabled
and scans too.
I have also restarted fpe services and it is at last rollup.
If anyone has an idea on how to solve It would be greatley appreciated.
Thanks again and kind regards
Francesco

The first command output is:
OverrideAutomaticManagement : True
OnDemandEngines : <Microsoft, Karspersky, Norman, Authentium>
RealtimeEngines : <Microsoft, Karspersky, Norman, Authentium>
ScheduledEngines : <Microsoft, Karspersky, Norman, Authentium>
TransportEngines : <Microsoft, Karspersky, Norman, Authentium>
The second one has all engines set to TRUE on EnableSchedule BUT VirusBuster which is:
Engine: VirusBuster
EnableSchedule: False
It seems correctely disabled but It kept sending emails all night .
