Once I add this, does this just make our spam protection that much
better (than it is right now with say GFI mailessentials, where a user
or two may get 15 emails a day, slipping into their inbox)? Can i
just set it and forget it.. if this domain changes names or servers at
some point, how would i know this.. does exchange 2007 warn me in some
way?

Thanks
