Bypassing Exchange 2007's Content Filter

Exchange 2007 is often set to filter all spam and reject mail that is classified as spam. If you configure Exchange 2007 to do so then you still need an email address that does not get filtered. The reason is that in the body of your rejection emails, you need to provide a valid user with a means to contact you in order to get their mail through. To bypass the content filter for an email address can be done using a commandlet, Set-ContentFilterConfig. When using the Set-ContentFilterConfig you can use the -BypassedRecipients option to specify email addresses that the filter will not be applied to, which would then be followed by the email address to bypass. For example, if I wanted to do this for admin@krypted.com I would use the following cmdlet:

Set-ContentFilterConfig -BypassedRecipients admin@krypted.com
