Forwarding
Forward email to
It is possible to automatically forward your incoming emails to other internal or external
addresses. Enter the address and then click on the button "Add". You can enter as many
recipients as you want and they will all receive a copy of the email that is addressed to
your mailbox. To remove an address select it in the list and push the button "Remove".
Keep copy of forwarded emails
With this option you can control if a copy of each mail will be delivered to your mailbox
even when forwarding your mail to other addresses. If the option is not checked, your
mailbox will not receive emails any longer.
If forwarding is not active, this option is without effect.
8.2-B
SPAM filter
If you enable at least one of the thresholds, every incoming mail has to pass a SPAM
mail filter before it is delivered to your mailbox. A SPAM mail is an unsolicited email,
usually with dubious origin.
The SPAM mail filter of SX-GATE classifies emails by identifying typical phrases
and other attributes indicating an unsolicited email. SX-GATE contains a database
of checks to perform and all matches result in a score which in turn allows filtering
emails. Characteristics indicating a SPAM mail will add a value to the score while other
characteristics indicating that it's not a SPAM mail will subtract a certain value. The
higher the final score, the more likely it's a SPAM mail.
