&lt;p&gt;As for Exchange, someone posted a very decent link on how to set up Exchange to filter messages.&amp;nbsp; Its not as adaptive a system as SpamAssassin, but it might bridge the gap of what you&amp;#39;re seeing Symantec let through.&amp;nbsp; Let me see if I can locate the post that talks about how to configure Exchange and if you make those changes you might see a decrease of spam in your Inbox.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Symantec Antispam becoming less effective?</title><link>http://forums.techsoup.org/cs/forums/thread/98553.aspx</link><pubDate>Wed, 29 Apr 2009 16:32:30 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">caa7681b-025a-49ce-809f-7435bfe4d232:98553</guid><dc:creator>Bethlehem</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>http://forums.techsoup.org/cs/forums/thread/98553.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://forums.techsoup.org/cs/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=29&amp;PostID=98553</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;p&gt;It seems in the last few months I am getting much more spam than when we first started using Symantec Premium Antispam in Symantec Mail Security for MS Exchange a couple years ago. Has anyone else seen this? Or is something off in my configuration, though I don&amp;#39;t remember&amp;nbsp;making&amp;nbsp;any changes?&amp;nbsp;My licenses are all up to date.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The weird thing is that I am seeing more obvious spam in my inbox, you know the ones that make veiled references to enlarging certain body parts. I can understand a few seemingly legitimate advertising ones slipping through but these are obviously spam.&lt;/p&gt;
