Exchange 2013 not sending email to Junk Folder

@manxam said in Exchange 2013 not sending email to Junk Folder:

@JaredBusch : It's a powershell only setting -- or at least this is the only place I've ever set it on prem. O365 does it through EAC mail rules.

JaredBusch

Note the when created and when changed on yours vs mine.
This one is default enabled.
Yours appears to have changed 3 years after setup.

Is it possible that this company had an external mail filter at some point?

2014 is 6 years ago..That is when I upgraded them from SBS 2008 R2 to Server 2012 R2 with Exchange 2013.

The SBS instance was not set up by me and I never changed these settings. They have had Postini for years until Google screwed it. So it is entirely possible their prior admin disabled this for some reason.

Wonder if this is a legacy setting brought forward from SBS 2008.. Regardless, changing it to 4 like you did should likely fix your issue going forward.

Possibly. Time will tell if mail start going to Junk or not.
