Correct settings for SMTP-proxy

Spider
Hi guys,
What is optimal settings for SMTP proxy using Exchange server on inside, and regarding SPAm settings. I did put on Threshold one "03 agresive - quarantine" then Threshold two "02 - Reject" is this optimal. I do sometimes get complanes from outside users that they get spam-messages from the ALS when they answer read-flag in Outlook.

    I believe u have confused the thresholds.
    Threshold 1: should be the first level of filtering, eg. if
    X-Spam-Score exceeds ex. 03 then quarantine.

    Threshold 2: is the second level. Eg. if X-Spam-Score exceeds ex. 05 then reject.

    This means that mail that spamassassin rates:
    0-2.9 will pass.
    3-4.9 will be quarantined.
    >= 5 will be rejected.

    How you should set the thresholds is all up to how conservative u would like to be and what is most functional for u're users. I beleive that a value of 5 is a quite clear indication of spam, but this might block some maillists.So once again it might not be optional for your users  [:)]
