Strategy: The Spam fighting technique being implemented here is to stop spam at the Server Domino Messaging Server Notes Client Notes Client Notes Client IBM eServer pSeries Domino Enterprise Server All SMTP mail is handled by this server.

Figure 3-1 Fighting spam with a Domino 6 infrastructure External 3rd Party SMTP Mail Server The server between the two firewalls, in the DMZ, is running Domino 6 for Linux. All SMTP mail is routed through this server and the anti-spam measures are enforced there. As the Domino version on the server is version 6, all the new anti-spam features can be utilized. Notice that not all the servers or clients in your environment have to be running Notes and Domino 6 to prevent and manage spam. Upgrade your SMTP mail server at the earliest possible stage of your upgrading project to take advantage of the new anti-spam features even before your other servers and clients are upgraded to Domino 6. As a Domino administrator, you can implement mail rules on the server to protect against viruses and eliminate as much spam as you can. The end users of your organization can take further actions to manage spam by creating mail file rules. Chapter 3. Domino 6 anti-spam architecture 19
