I was using Forefront Protection 2010 for Exchange Server with Exchange Server 2010 SP3 Standard Edition to filter email spam. Spam levels were increasing, and the Forefront product has been discontinued, so I figured it was time to let it go and uninstalled
Forefront, going with Exchange Server 2010's built-in anti-spam support. I added SpamHaus to the IP Block List Providers.
Content Filtering does not seem to be working well. The SCL levels are quite low (e.g. 2) for obvious spam.
The server is no longer receiving bi-weekly anti-spam filter updates via Windows Update. The last update was on 1/21/2015.
Google revealed one customer has been receiving "Enterprise" Block List Updates and Anti-spam Filter Updates, but I have been using the Standard edition:

I tried upgrading in-place from Standard to Enterprise, but Windows Update still has no updates to offer.
Have there been further filter updates since 1/21/2015?
If so, how can I trigger them to download via Windows Update?
If not, has Microsoft stopped issuing filter updates?
If they have stopped, is it just for Standard?
If it is just for Standard, how can I kick them off again for my in-place upgrade?
