I wanted to install the IMF and needed to install SP2 anyway. Since SP2 comes with IMF I figured I would just install SP2. After succesfully installing SP2 on the gateway server, I now hadan Intelligent Message Filtering tab in Message Delivery Properties under Global Settings. Perfect. I went in and set my IMF settings. I then went to the SMTP protocol on the Exchange server, and there was noIntelligent Message Filtering node under the SMTP protocol, where all the documentation says it should be. I then downloaded the IMF MSI from microsoft and installed thye IMF by itself. I rebooted the server just in case, and still noIntelligent Message Filtering node under the SMTP protocol. I sent a suedo spammed email and it came through fine, so I know the IMF is not enabled. Does anyone know what I did wrong, or how to fix it. Before I start uninstalling the IMF and SP2, I figured I would ask. I really don't want to blow up this server and have to clean up the mess it creates. Thanks in advance.

To enable the filter, right click on your SMTP Virtual Server and click Properties. Under the General Tab, click on Advanced, then, in the Advanced window, click Edit. You'll see the check box for Apply Intelligent Message Filter in there. I hope tht help

Incoming internet mail wasn't getting scanned by http://forums.msexchange.org/Intelligent_Message_Filter_will_not_enable/m_1800390685/tm.htm IMF. Outlook did not show the SCL values for any message!That in itself wasn't the strange part. I'm positive I have the right gateway and store thresholds, and I have IMF enabled on the SMTP Virtual Server - I double-checked that as soon as I saw the issue.Next stop - check IMF performance counters. A word about monitoring SMTP (and IMF in particular) with Perfmon— the default view is a http://exchangepedia.com/blog/2006/02/troubleshooting-imf-important_12.html graph, and if you're dealing with a server that doesn't get much traffic (the server in question being my primary Exchange server on the home network - it doesn't get hundreds of messages on a Sunday night), switching to the Report view and looking at the numbers makes it much easier to detect any activity. This could potentially save a lot of time, as it often does for me.I quickly added the following counters of MSExchange Intelligent Message Filter object:1. Total Messages Scanned for UCE2. Messages Scanned for UCE/sec3. %UCE of Total Messages Scanned4. %UCE of Messages Scanned in the previous 30 minutes Also added the following from SMTP Server object:1. Messages Received Total2. Messages Received/secWith the Report view fired up, I started sending messages - some with all the characteristics of UCE, and some simple test messages. Here's where the strange behavior comes in - the SMTP Messages Received counters were rising, and surprisingly so were Total Messages Scanned for UCE. However, Outlook still didn't show any SCL values and all the obvious spam was still hitting my Inbox!Here's where another important IMF counter comes in - Total UCE Messages Acted Upon (and its sibling - UCE Messages Acted Upon/sec). Once these were added to the Perfmon cons
