IMF's setup is internal to Exchange.  It isn't particularly configurable,
you just tell it at what level something is considered Spam, and Outlook
honors this.  You download the IMF updates from MS, and that's it.  It
doesn't integrate with anything other than Exchange itself AFAIK.  FWIW, I
don't know how much future it has.  Now that MS owns Sybari, built-in virus
and spam scanning are likely to appear in Exchange in a much more robust
way.  Given the success of our SA implementation I doubt we'll bother with
IMF.  It seems like more trouble than it's worth.
