Summary: After You Install Exchange Server, What Do You Do?
Review: This book can be viewed as kind of the second volume in a series, except that it isn't a series. Volume 1 would be any of several excellent books that describe the best practices used during the planning, design and implementating Exchange Server. But after the system is up and running you had best not just go away and leave it alone.The day to day use of Exchange Server requires that it be monitored and managed to keep it running smoothly. Included in this area are such topics as server resources, messaging connections, interoperability with foreign mail systems and Windows 2003 integration. An important area, one that is increasing in importance, in handling Exchange Server is virus and junk mail protection. He gives several pointers to follow in selecting the anti-virus software you use (I wish he had gone just a bit further and given some names and comments about their software). In the area of junk e-mail or SPAM he discusses making sure that your system is not being used as an open relay by SPAMmers. He discusses commercial server-side e-mail filters to reduce the amount of e-mail (Again I wish he had given some names.) and even discusses how to build/modify your own filters for increased effectiveness. This is a practical book for managers of e-mail systems, and one of the few around.
