     Has Code
    Hi
    
    We have observed that vaild mails from Partner Domains are moved to Junk 
    Folder (false positive). Its also observed that out of 45 mails from partner 
    domain only 5 mail are moved to junk folder. These 5 mails either have 
    attachment or hyperlink.
    
    Problem facing user are not keen in adding the partner domain into Safe 
    Sender List, since the partner domain list is to large and keeps changing.
    
    We have Outlook on 2007 without SP and Exchange 2007 with SP1
    
    Any kind of help will be great
    
    Regards

    Since you don’t have exchange anti-spam, there won’t be any SCL rate in the headers

    Outlook has own anti-spam feature, please close outlook, ask problematic sender to send the message again, see if the issue still persists. If the issue were gone, you will know that the level of junk e-mail protection needs to be lower

    Also, please ensure that the senders of false positive messages don’t end up in the block list of outlook

    And, please contact Ironport support, see if they will stamp any exchange-aware spam tag in the message headers

    IMF and the Junk E-mail folder in Outlook

    Can you add *@partner.com to the safe sender list?

    Please check the SCL rate in the “Internet Headers” of problematic messages, and the settings in the content filtering

    Hi James

    We do not have Anti Spam features enabled on the HUB Server (no edge) - we are using IRONPORT for spam filtering.
