1.3 Set 'Enable Sender ID agent' to 'True'

Information

The Sender ID agent is an antispam agent enabled on Exchange servers that perform the Edge Transport server role. Sender ID tries to verify that every e-mail message originates from the Internet domain from which it claims to have been sent. Sender ID checks the address of the server that sends the message against a registered list of servers that the domain owner has authorized to send e-mail.

Rationale:

Spam consumes a large amount of network bandwidth and server capacity. In addition, it is often the source of malicious software.

Solution

To remediate this settings, execute the following cmdlet:

Set-SenderIDConfig -Enabled $true
