9.7.1. Settings
In the
Anti-Spam basic settings
dialog you can check/uncheck the
Turn on Anti-
Spam protection
checkbox to allow/forbid the anti-spam scanning of e-mail
communication. This option is on by default, and as always, it is recommended to keep
this configuration unless you have a real reason to change it.
Next, you can also select more or less aggressive scoring measures. The
Anti-Spam
filter assigns each message a score (
i.e. how similar the message content is to SPAM
)
based on several dynamic scanning techniques. You can adjust the
Mark message as
spam if score is greater than
setting by either typing the value (
0 to 100
) or by
moving the slider left or right (
using the slider, the range of values is limited to 50-90
).
Generally we recommended setting the threshold between 50-90, or if you are really
unsure, to 90. Here is a general review of the scoring threshold:
·
Value 90-99
- Most incoming e-mail messages will be delivered normally
(without being marked as
spam
). The most easily identified
spam
will be filtered
out, but a significant amount of
spam
may still be allowed through.
