I think between Mail Protect, SenderID, and RBLs, you should be fine. If you want something stopped completely before it hits Exchange, an SMTP gateway would be the answer.

Oh, there's a new RBL out. I think it works nicely. Spam RATS.

Ace,
As for the SMTP gateway, I was under the impression that the ISA SMTP Add-in
would do exactly that... stop the "bad" hosts from ever reaching the
Exchange Server...
Am I wrong?

As another option to consider Daniel, if you really want to stop them before they get to the server, dump ISA and get a true business class firewall router that includes UTM (Universal Threat Management). My personal preference for this device is the Calyptix Access Enforcer. It does AV, Anti Spam, Content Management and so on. integrates with AD. There are certainly other devices that offer this as well. With my customers I use the Castle and Moat analogy. The Access Enforcer is the Moat...must easier to defend the Castle (The SBS Box) if they don't get inside the castle.

Well, yea, kind of, no. It's still hitting the "server," so it's still got to process it even though it's not hitting the actual SMTP service.

I agree with Chris about going third party. :)
