In Outlook 2000, is it the Exchange Server system or the local client that processes messages against the junk-email rules? I'm interested in using these rules but wonder whether the rules will create a large draw on my server—or just tax the local machines a little more than usual.
The junk-email rules in Outlook 2002 and Outlook 2000 and the built-in Junk E-mail Filter in Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 all process junk mail at the client. Ideally, you should also use either an antispam gateway or a junk filter that integrates with Exchange to catch the most obvious junk mail at the server and save on network bandwidth and server storage, thus leaving the client only a small number of possible junk-mail messages to process.
