Microsoft Exchange Hosted Filtering Listing updated: April 6, 2006

Exchange Hosted Filtering incorporates multiple filters to actively help protect businesses’ inbound and outbound e-mail from spam, viruses, phishing scams, and e-mail policy violations. Exchange Hosted Filtering is one of four distinct services in the Microsoft Exchange Hosted Services portfolio. The service employs multilayered defenses to help block e-mail malware from reaching your corporate gateway. In addition, the service provides both tools for writing rules to help enforce corporate and regulatory policies governing e-mail usage and disaster recovery tools to queue mail for delivery in the event of an e-mail server outage. Exchange Hosted Filtering is deployed over the Internet.

At the core of the service’s virus-fighting strategy are multiple, antivirus engines that are integrated at the application programming interface level to continually provide virus definition updates. Exchange Hosted Filtering uses at least three different antivirus engines at all times with the ability to engage additional engines when acute threats warrant additional coverage.
