To help you maximize the effectiveness of your spam and virus filters, we will soon introduce a new reporting feature in the Administration Console called Health Check.

Your organization's configuration settings can affect how much spam arrives in a user's inbox, and Health Check will show you the best practices and recommendations for these settings. For example, Health Check will help you see problems that may arise from unfiltered mail going through to unregistered users, and it can help you optimize Approved Sender Lists. Health Check also enables you to quickly review your virus filter settings so you can optimize your protection against viruses and malware.

This feature is targeted for release on March 30 for System 8, and March 31 for all other systems. For more information and instructions on Health Check, see the Message Security Quick Start Guide on the date of the release.
