CHAPTER 8 327
Administering F-Secure Spam Control
8.1 Overview
When F-Secure Spam Control is enabled, incoming messages that are
considered spam are marked automatically by adding an X-header with
the spam flag or predefined text in the message header. The end users
can then create filtering rules that direct the messages marked with the
spam flag header into a junk mail folder.
F-Secure Spam Control databases can be updated with F-Secure
Automatic Update Agent. In order to update the databases, F-Secure
Automatic Update Agent must be installed on the same computer as
F-Secure Spam Control. Database updates are digitally signed for
maximum security, and you can use only these updates for updating the
F-Secure Spam Control spam definition databases.
In Microsoft Exchange 2003 environment, the Microsoft Exchange server
can move messages to the Junk mail folder based on the spam
confidence level value. This feature is available immediately after the
product has been installed, if the end user has activated this functionality.
For more information about how to configure this functionality at the end
user’s computer, see the Microsoft Outlook 2003 or Microsoft Outlook
Web Access online help.
F-Secure Spam Control databases are needed for the heuristic
spam scanning only.
