SpamHero is a great spam filtering solution for customers using Microsoft Exchange.

Basic configuration

1. Login to your SpamHero control panel and go to the Settings > Mail delivery host page and enter the hostname or IP address of your Exchange server.
2. Switch the MX records for your domain to the ones assigned to you by SpamHero (and remove all other MX records). The MX records can be found on the Settings > Mail delivery host page under the Required MX settings section of the page.

At this point, email will start to flow through the SpamHero service within 24 hours. Any detected spam will be held in the SpamHero quarantine.

Other recommendations

• It is highly recommended that you lock down your Exchange server so that it only accepts in bound email from our service, by following the instructions in the following article:
