Email Filtering Not Working

I'm running Small Business Server 2000 (Windows 2000
Server, Exchange 2000 Server, ISA Server 2000, etc.).
I've setup the Exchange 2000 Server portion of SBS to
filter junk mail but it's not working.

I did the setup in accordance with information from the
MS Knowledge Base and on line help. I also checked several
texts and web sites and they all say the same thing about
doing the setup - i.e. setup the addresses to filter in
Exchange System Manager under Global Settings>Message
Delivery>Filtering and enable filtering under
Servers>Protocols>SMTP>SMTP Virtual Server.

I tested that filtering in accordance with Knowledge Base
article 313395 and that showed that the test message was
blocked.

My problem is that when I test email filtering by sending
an email from a remote location that is supposed to be
filtered the message comes through.

I tried re-installing Exchange and I have service pack 3
installed but nothing I've done results in the email
being filtered as I think it should be.

I am stumped for a solution and would appreciate any help
that anyone can provide.

Thanks very much.

Check out www.nai.com. They have spamkiller for Exchange Server now. I use
it for over 100 Client sites and there email. Works great. I tried what
you are doing and had problems also.
