Anti-Spam and
Anti-Virus!
AntiSpam allows to trace, filter out and delete spam messages coming
to your mailbox.
When you
enable antispam for a mailbox, you can use antispam preferences
configured for a mail domain or
configure it individually for a specific mailbox. The system
doesn't delete messages recognized as spam. It only marks them as spam
and delivers them in a regular way, which is why these messages also
count against your summary traffic.
To enable spam protection for a mailbox:
1.
Click the mailbox e-mail address in the E-mail list on the
maildomain Controls page.
2.
In the MAILBOX section check the AntiSpam box.
To use
mail domain antispam preferences, check the Use mail domain
antispam preferences box. Otherwise you'll have to
configure it separately for this specific mailbox.
3.
Click the Submit button at the bottom of the form.
To configure spam protection for a
specific mailbox:

On the Antispam prefrences page:
o
spam check level determines how aggressively spam will be
filtered. Antispam filters analyze each email message as it passes
through the gateway email server and score it between 1 and 14. The
larger the number the more likely it is considered to be spam:
�
Very Aggressive: guarantees almost anything delivered to your
mailbox will be legitimate. However you will lose a lot of email (rejects
messages that score over 2)
�
Aggressive: guarantees anything delivered to you will be
legitimate. Still a fair chance of false positives (rejects
messages that score over 4)
�
Normal:
might block some mailing lists messages (rejects
messages that score over 7)
�
Relaxed: accepts semi-legitimate bulk mail (rejects
messages that score over 10)
�
Permissive: accepts almost everything (rejects
messages that score over 14)
The default value is usually 5, but this can be changed by
the hosting system administrator.
o
White List - sender e-mail addresses to accept
o
Black List - sender e-mail addresses to reject
White and Black Lists have priority over the spam check level.
* you can use masks using '*' and '?'. For example: *@domain.com,
[email protected], *.domain.com
* e-mail addresses or masks should be separated by ',' or ';' or
'ENTER' or 'TAB' or 'SPACE'.
