Hey guys. I'm trying to figure something out, for a few reasons...
the first one being, to make a point to my supervisor who occasionally get a stick shoved up his ass about certain things and refuses to say he could possibly be wrong.
Well, I know in this case he is wrong, and I just need to show him how to do something.
Sadly, I don't have the time to learn all the ins-and-outs of exchange server before tomorrow morning
Anyways here's the question:
We've got a test network setup, for testing out a brightmail server before we throw it into the real network and flub up the entire company. Easy enough.
Right now one decision we've got to make is this:
1) Give everyone a 'SPAM' folder in outlook, and let brightmail deposit the spam there on the exchange server.
or
2) Set up the LDAP option on brightmail, with a 1 week retention, and have the users log into the server via the web to check it.
Well, my suggestion is: Do the exchange SPAM folder option, but have a cleanup set up on the server to empty out the folder every week of messages more than 7 days old. This is mainly because our users are NOT the brightest. (I have honestly been asked the question 'What's a mouse?' before. Sadly, she wasn't kidding.)
If someone can point me in the right direction, I really want to stick it to him with this, as having the users log in elsewhere will only cause us MORE trouble than its worth...
Thanks for the help!
