Forget 'What are your strengths and weaknesses?' If you want to get the real dope on prospective employees, ask job candidates these seven questions.

Jo-Ann Stores is posting impressive sales and earnings numbers and is an example of a retail sector on which Walmart doesn't have a steel grip.

Even smart people make financial moves that are downright illogical. Emotions and superstitions have a sneaky way of keeping you from rational financial decisions. But dumb choices can have serious, real-world consequences. Here are some of the biggest blunders we all make, plus tips from the experts on how to keep cool.

    NOTE: The Transport Rule Agent, Journaling Agent, and the AD RMS Prelicensing Agent are configured by default but do not perform anti-spam processing.

    SBS 2008 also configures Exchange to automatically update the anti-spam Transport Agents from Microsoft Update. New versions are published every two weeks. This process occurs independently of WSUS.

    IMPORTANT: In order to download update definitions for anti-spam, you are required to have either an Exchange 2007 Enterprise CAL for each user mailbox or a Forefront Security for Exchange license.  If you have not purchased a Forefront Security for Exchange license before the 120 trial period expires, your anti-spam agents will no longer be updated.  You will be notified in both the Windows SBS console and the Forefront Security console when the trial has expired.

    Anti-Spam Agents by Priority (First to Last)

    Connection Filtering consists of the IP Allow List, Block List, and the online service provider for both. It is enabled by default, but the lists are blank. This is open for your customization. IP addresses that are explicitly allowed through this filter will bypass all subsequent anti-spam processing. Those that are blocked will be unable to submit email to the server.
    To add entries to the IP Allow and IP Block List, expand Server Configuration > Hub Transport > Anti-Spam:

    To add entries to the IP Allow and IP Block List Providers, expand Organization Configuration > Hub Transport > Anti-Spam:

    Sender ID Filtering will query public DNS against every connecting SMTP server and check for the existence of a Sender Policy Framework (SPF) record. Essentially, SBS will use this record to compare the SMTP domain sent during MAIL FROM and the IP Address that the connecting SMTP server is using. If the IP address is not on the list of acceptable sending servers for the SMTP domain, the Sender ID Filter will stamp this failure on the message, which is then taken into consideration by the Sender Reputation Filter (see below):

    Recipient Filtering is set to block messages sent to recipients who are not in the Global Address List. Exchange will inform the sending SMTP server, upon the RCPT TO command, that the recipient is invalid. You may choose to add further recipients who are in the GAL to this list:

    Sender Reputation Filtering (Protocol Analysis Agent) builds a confidence profile of each sending server based on the following tests:

    • Passing or failing the Sender ID check
    • Analysis of the EHLO/HELO statement for signs of forgery. This includes frequently changing domain names from the same IP, passing an IP address in the statement that does not match the connecting IP, or passing a domain name that appears to be in the same internal Exchange organization but is coming from a remote server.
    • An SCL history of messages sent from a particular IP Address.
    • A reverse DNS lookup is performed to determine if the PTR record for
