To configure spam filter operation settings
•Enable the Check mail for spam option to enable the spam filter.
•You can enable addition of special text to the spam message header by enabling the Add a prefix to headers of spam messages option. Type the text to add in the Prefix field. The default prefix is ***SPAM***.
•The checked messages can be marked as read in email options. For that purpose, enable the Mark as read option. By default, this option is enabled.
•You can also configure white and black lists of email addresses and domains for email filtration.
a)Specify an address in the corresponding field. Rules for specifying addresses are listed below.
b)You can specify only one email address in one field. To add one more address to the list, click 
.
c)To remove the address from the list, click 
next to the list item that corresponds the address.
Black list
If the sender’s address is on the black list, the message will be automatically regarded as spam.
•To add a specific sender to the list, enter the full email address (for example, spam@spam.com). All messages, received from this address, will be automatically regarded as spam.
•Each list item can contain only one email address or email address mask.
•To add a group of sender addresses, enter the mask that determines their names. The mask defines a template for an object definition. It may contain regular characters from email addresses and a special asterisk character (*), which replaces any (including an empty one) sequence of characters.
For example, the following variations are possible:
▫mailbox@domain.com
▫*box@domain.com
▫mailbox@dom*
▫*box@dom*
|
The asterisk (*) can be specified at the start or at the end of an address only.
The 'at' sign (@) is mandatory. |
•To regard messages sent from any email address within a domain as spam, use an asterisk character (*) instead of the user name in the address. For example, if you enter *@spam.com, all messages from addresses within the spam.com domain will be regarded as spam automatically.
•To regard messages sent from an email address with a certain user name from any domain as spam, enter an asterisk character (*) instead of the domain name in the address. For example, if you enter john@*, all messages from all senders with the john mailbox name will be regarded as spam automatically.
White List
If the sender's address is added to the white list, the email will not be checked on spam.
•To add a specific sender to the list, enter the full email address (for example, mail@example.net). This ensures delivery of all messages from this sender with no spam check.
•Each list item can contain only one email address or email address mask.
•To add a group of sender addresses, enter the mask that determines their names. The mask defines a template for an object definition. It may contain regular characters from email addresses and a special asterisk character (*), which replaces any (including an empty one) sequence of characters.
For example, the following variations are possible:
▫mailbox@domain.com
▫*box@domain.com
▫mailbox@dom*
▫*box@dom*
