Within Outlook 2003 Help, this message is found when searching for Junk Email
Filter:

"Exchange Server 2003

If you use Cached Exchange Mode or download to a Personal Folders file
(.pst) The Junk E-mail Filter Lists are stored on the server and are
available from any computer. They are also used by the server to evaluate
messages. This means that if a sender is on your Blocked Senders List,
messages from the sender are moved to the Junk E-mail folder on the server
and are not evaluated by Outlook 2003.
If you work online The Junk E-mail Filter Lists are stored on the server
and are available from any computer. They are also used by the server to
evaluate messages. This means that if a sender is on your Blocked Senders
List, messages from that sender are moved to the Junk E-mail folder on the
server and are not evaluated by Outlook 2003.
Note If you work online or use Cached Exchange Mode and the option to
download to a Personal Folders file (.pst) as your default delivery location,
the Junk E-mail Filter Lists are available only on the computer used to add
the names and addresses."


Okay, I am assuming working online means non-cached mode. Is this is the
case, I didn't think you could use the Junk Email Filter or am I missing
something?
 
Exchange 2003 has its own junk mail filter and will apply your blocked list at the server.

So I can still add people to my vblocked senders list and it will enhance the
scanning @ the server side? Does something need to be installed on the
Exchange server for this to occur?

Thanks!
 
I see where Exchange attached a SCL value to the message and handles it
appropriately, but I still don't see where they users junk email senders list
is used in the scanning of these messages. Is it just a given that it is
checking against it?

Sorry for not seeing it.

Thanks for the rapid replies.
 
Yes, it's a given AFAIK. Best to ask Exchange questions in an Exchange group, though.
