Parameters

Parameter	Required	Type	Description
BypassedRecipients	Optional	Microsoft.Exchange.Data.MultiValuedProperty	This parameter takes the SMTP address values of recipients in your organization. The Content Filter agent does not process any content filtering for messages that are bound to the addresses that are listed on this parameter. To enter multiple SMTP addresses, separate the addresses by using a comma as follows, for example: `recipient1@contoso.com, recipient2@contoso.com` The maximum number of recipients you can input is 100.
BypassedSenderDomains	Optional	Microsoft.Exchange.Data.MultiValuedProperty	This parameter takes domain name values of sending domains. The Content Filter agent does not process any content filtering for messages that are received from the domains that are listed on this parameter. To enter multiple domains, separate the addresses by using a comma as follows, for example: `contoso.com, example.com`. A wildcard () can be used to specify all sub-domains as follows, for example: .`contoso.com`. The maximum number of domains you can input is 100.
BypassedSenders	Optional	Microsoft.Exchange.Data.MultiValuedProperty	This parameter takes the SMTP address values of senders. The Content Filter agent does not process any content filtering for messages that are received from the addresses that are listed on this parameter. To enter multiple SMTP addresses, separate the addresses by using a comma as follows, for example: `sender1@contoso.com, sender2@example.com` The maximum number of SMTP addresses you can input is 100.
DomainController	Optional	Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Fqdn	To specify the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the domain controller that writes this configuration change to Active Directory directory service, include the DomainController parameter on the command. The DomainController parameter is not supported on computers that have the Edge Transport server role installed. The Edge Transport server role writes only to the local ADAM instance.
Enabled	Optional	System.Boolean	Valid input for the Enabled parameter is `$true` or `$false`. The default setting is `$true`. When the Enabled parameter is set to `$true`, the Content Filter agent is enabled on the computer on which you are running the Set-ContentFilterConfig command.
ExternalMailEnabled	Optional	System.Boolean	Valid input for the ExternalMailEnabled parameter is `$true` or `$false`. The default setting is `$true`. When the ExternalMailEnabled parameter is set to `$true`, all messages from unauthenticated connections are passed through the Content Filter agent for processing.
Instance	Optional	Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Directory.SystemConfiguration.ContentFilterConfig	The Instance parameter enables you to pass an entire object to the command to be processed. It is mainly used in scripts where an entire object must be passed to the command.
InternalMailEnabled	Optional	System.Boolean	Valid input for the InternalMailEnabled parameter is `$true` or `$false`. The default setting is `$false`. When the InternalMailEnabled parameter is set to `$true`, all messages from authenticated connections and from authoritative domains in your enterprise are passed through the Content Filter agent for processing.
OutlookEmailPostmarkValidationEnabled	Optional	System.Boolean	Valid input for the OutlookEmailPostmarkValidationEnabled parameter is `$true` or `$false`. When the OutlookEmailPostmarkValidationEnabled parameter is set to `$true`, the Content Filter agent sends a computational puzzle to the sender's e-mail system for processing. The results of the puzzle validation are factored into the overall spam confidence level (SCL). This functionality is exposed to the Microsoft Outlook user as Office Outlook 2007 E-mail Postmark validation. The default setting is `$false`.
QuarantineMailbox	Optional	System.Nullable	Valid input for the QuarantineMailbox parameter is an SMTP address. A spam quarantine mailbox is required when you set the SCLQuarantineEnabled parameter to `True`. All messages that exceed the value set in the SCLQuarantineThreshold parameter are sent to the SMTP address that you set in this parameter.
RejectionResponse	Optional	Microsoft.Exchange.Data.AsciiString	This parameter is required if you set the SCLRejectEnabled parameter to `True`. The RejectionResponse parameter takes a string. Enter the message body that you want delivered in the non-delivery report (NDR) to senders whose messages meet or exceed the SCLRejectThreshold value. Do not exceed 240 characters in the argument. When you pass an argument, you must enclose the RejectionResponse parameter in double quotation marks if the phrase contains spaces as follows, for example: `"Message rejected"`. The default setting is `Message rejected due to content restrictions`.
SCLDeleteEnabled	Optional	System.Boolean	Valid input for the SCLDeleteEnabled parameter is `$true` or `$false`. The default setting is `$false`. When SCLDeleteEnabled parameter is set to `$true`, all messages that exceed the value set in the SCLDeleteThreshold parameter are deleted.
SCLDeleteThreshold	Optional	System.Int32	This parameter takes an integer value between `1` and `9`. This value represents the SCL rating that a particular message must exceed for the Content Filter agent to delete the message and not send a NDR. To enable this functionality, you must set the SCLDeleteEnabled parameter to `True`. The default setting is `9`.
SCLQuarantineEnabled	Optional	System.Boolean	Valid input for the SCLQuarantineEnabled parameter is `$true` or `$false`. The default setting is `$false`. When SCLQuarantineEnabled parameter is set to `$true`, all messages that exceed the value set in the SCLQuarantineThreshold parameter are sent to the spam quarantine mailbox that is specified in the QuarantineMailbox parameter.
SCLQuarantineThreshold	Optional	System.Int32	This parameter takes an integer value between `1` and `9`. This value represents the SCL rating that a particular message must exceed for the Content Filter agent to quarantine the message. To enable quarantine functionality, you must set the SCLQuarantineEnabled parameter to `True`, and provide a valid SMTP address in the QuarantineMailbox parameter. The default setting is `9`.
SCLRejectEnabled	Optional	System.Boolean	Valid input for the SCLRejectEnabled parameter is `$true` or `$false`. The default setting is `$false`. When SCLRejectEnabled parameter is set to `$true`, all messages that exceed the value set in the SCLRejectThreshold parameter are rejected, and an NDR is sent to the sender.
SCLRejectThreshold	Optional	System.Int32	This parameter takes an integer value between `1` and `9`. This value represents the SCL rating that a particular message must exceed for the Content Filter agent to reject the message and send an NDR to the sender. To enable the delete functionality, you must set the SCLDeleteEnabled parameter to `True`. Also, you can revise the default NDR message by editing the RejectionResponse parameter. The default setting is `9`.

Detailed Description

This command modifies the content filter configuration.

To run the Set-ContentFilterConfig cmdlet, the account you use must be delegated the following:

Exchange Server Administrator role and local Administrators group for the target server

To run the Set-ContentFilterConfig cmdlet on a computer that has the Edge Transport server role installed, you must log on by using an account that is a member of the local Administrators group on that computer.

For more information about permissions, delegating roles, and the rights that are required to administer Exchange Server 2007, see Permission Considerations.

Example

The first code example shows a Set-ContentFilterConfig command that has the following modifications to the Content Filter configuration:

It enables and configures the SCL threshold functionalities that quarantine, reject, and delete messages.
It makes spamQ@contoso.com the spam quarantine mailbox.
It sets the Content Filter action to reject all messages that exceed the SCL threshold.
It sets the rejection response.
It sets the AuthenticatedMessageBypassEnabled parameter to $true.
It enables the puzzle validation feature.
It defines two users for whom the Content Filter should not process messages.

The second code example shows a Set-ContentFilterConfig command that specifies a sender domain (woodgrovebank.com) whose inbound e-mail will by pass content filtering.
