The built-in malware filtering capabilities of Exchange 2013 helps protect your
network from malicious software transferred through email messages. All messages sent or
received by your Exchange server are scanned for malware (viruses and spyware). If
malware is detected, the message is deleted. Notifications may also be sent to senders or
administrators when an infected message is deleted and not delivered.

7. No more Hub & Edge Transport servers

Exchange 2013 has just two roles: Client Access server role and Mailbox server role &
disconnected HUB & Edge Server roles.

6. Group naming policy

Administrators can now use the EAC to create a group naming policy, which lets you
standardize and manage the names of distribution groups created by users in your
organization. You can require a specific prefix and suffix be added to the name for a
distribution group when it's created, and you can block specific words from being used. This
capability helps you minimize the use of inappropriate words in group names.

5. Public Folder support under DAG

In Exchange 2013, public folders were re-engineered using mailbox infrastructure to
take advantage of the existing high availability and storage technologies of the mailbox
database. Public folder architecture uses specially designed mailboxes to store both
the public folder hierarchy and the content. This also means that theres no longer a public
folder database. High availability for the public folder mailboxes is provided by a database
availability group (DAG).

4. Site & shared Mailbox (New recipient types)

The site mailbox is a new concept in Microsoft Exchange 2013. Site mailboxes
improve collaboration and user productivity by allowing access to both Microsoft SharePoint
2013 documents and Exchange email using the same client interface. Shared mailbox is
new recipient type in Exchange 2013, you can now create a shared mailbox in one step via
the Exchange admin center. In the EAC, go to Recipients > Shared Mailboxes to
create a shared mailbox

3. Apps for Outlook Web App

Exchange 2013 added several apps for outlook like Bing Maps, Suggested
Appointments and Action items. These apps are integrated with outlook and outlook web
app and extended the information and functionality of messages and calendar
items, Apps in outlook attempt to anticipate your needs and automatically propose actions
you might want to take by using the contents of the email message.
2. Batch Mailbox Moves
Exchange 2013 introduces the concept of batch moves. The new move architecture is
built on top of MRS (Mailbox Replication service) moves with enhanced management
capability. The new batch move architecture features the following
enhancements: A) Email notification during move with reporting B) Automatic retry and
automatic prioritization of moves C) Primary and personal archive mailboxes can be moved
together or separately.

1. DLP (data loss prevention)

DLP is new in Exchange 2013's transport rules, but it's also a continuation of Mail Tips
in that it warns users when they may be violating policies meant to prevent disclosure of
sensitive data. Such disclosures are usually inadvertent, so the use of DLP-fired
reminders lets users be aware when they are putting something like a credit card number or
Social Security number in an email.
