Microsoft's Free IMF

I came across this blog entry about Microsoft's free, new
Intelligent Message Filter add-on for Exchange Server.
eWeek's David Coursey. IMF was released last week at TechEd.
We're not an Exchange shop where I work so I have no way to verify his numbers but I don't like them. IMF is free so I suppose that is a nice first start but this looks like one of those thing where you play with threshold numbers until you get the right balance of spam blocking and false positives.
My advice, get a 3rd party product. Someone who has time to deal with spam instead of spending all of yours. Personally, we use Brightmail and haven't had any trouble with it and 0 false positives.

Stats for the last 32 days:
Processed: 1387192
Spam: 963979 (69%)
