Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 delivers a reliable, scalable, and manageable infrastructure with 24x7 messaging and collaboration plus low cost of ownership. It supports a wide range of collaborative activities, including group scheduling capabilities, discussion groups, and public folders, and also provides access to information across geographic, organizational, and technology barriers with features such as Instant Messaging, real-time data, and video conferencing. With the release of Exchange Server 2003 Service Pack 2 an effective spam filter has been added that negates the need for 3rd party spam filters. Each incoming mail is allocated a score based on well known spam characteristics. The result being reduced spam emails in user's mailbox. Another feature of SP2 is the ability to "push" emails to mobile devices free of charge as long as the client device has the Microsoft Features and Security pack installed.
