Anti-spam stamps are functionality in Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 that helps the messaging administrator diagnose spam-related problems by applying diagnostic metadata, or stamps, such as sender-specific information, puzzle validation results, and content filtering results, to messages as the messages pass through the anti-spam features that filter inbound messages from the Internet.
