This topic explains how to use the Exchange Management Shell to configure Sender ID actions. You can configure the Sender ID agent to take action when the agent detects evidence of domain spoofing or a transient error. The Sender ID evaluation process generates the following Sender ID status codes for spoofed messages or transient error messages:

You can configure Sender ID to take one of the following actions when Sender ID determines that a message is spoofed or when a transient error is returned:

Before You Begin

To perform the following procedures 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.

Also, before you perform these procedures, confirm the following:

Configuring Sender ID Actions for Spoofed Messages

To set an action for instances when a message is spoofed, you can use the Exchange Management Console or the Exchange Management Shell.

To use the Exchange Management Console to configure Sender ID actions for spoofed messages

  1. In the Exchange Management Console, click Edge Transport.

  2. In the work pane, click the Anti-spam tab, and then select Sender ID.

  3. In the action pane, click Properties, and then click the Action tab.

  4. Select the action to take if the Sender ID check fails.

    Note:
    Stamp message by using Sender ID result and continue processing: is the default setting.
  5. Click OK to save your changes and close the dialog box, or click Apply to save your changes without closing the dialog box.

To use the Exchange Management Shell to configure Sender ID actions for spoofed messages

  • Run the following command:

    Copy Code
    Set-SenderIDConfig -SpoofedDomainAction <StampStatus | Reject | Delete>
    

    For example, to reject spoofed messages, run the following command:

    Copy Code
    Set-SenderIDConfig -SpoofedDomainAction Reject
    
    Note:
    StampStatus is the default value.

Configuring Sender ID Actions for Transient Errors

To set an action for instances when a transient error is returned, you must use the Set-SenderIdConfig command in the Exchange Management Shell. You cannot set the action in the Exchange Management Console.

To use the Exchange Management Shell to configure Sender ID actions for transient errors

  • Run the following command:

    Copy Code
    Set-SenderIDConfig -TempErrorAction <StampStatus | Reject | Delete>
    

    For example, to delete transient error messages, run the following command:

    Copy Code
    Set-SenderIDConfig -TempErrorAction Delete
    
    Note:
    StampStatus is the default value.

For detailed syntax and parameter information, see Set-SenderIdConfig.
