Exchange 2007 Sender Reputation Filter and Puremessage

I would like to add one more layer of spam defense to our organization using the Exchange 2007 Sender Reputation filter.  I have Puremessage 3.1.2 installed on our Edge Transport and have enabled the Sender Reputation filter but after 48 hours there seems to be no IP's added to the block list within Exchange - although the JET database appears to be increasing in size....  I'm suspecting that the Puremessage agent has a higher priority than the "Protocol Analysis" agent and this is why I'm not seeing any blocked IP's - is this accurate or do i have something misconfigured? 

Is this possible to use both PME and the Exchagne Anti-Spam agents on the same box?  I should note that I checked our firewall logs as well and don't see the edge transport server performing any "Open Proxy" testing - I would imagine I should see attempts from telnet, port 80, etc to the destination host.

Any ideas?  Thanks!

  • I contacted Sophos support regarding this and was told that you cannot use Exchange 2007 anti-spam agents and Puremessage on the same box - even though I've been using the IP Block list provider Exchange agent in conjunction with PME for years....
