| SPAM Bouncer operates on our
mail server cluster to provide the ultimate protection against
unwanted and disruptive unsolicited email, commonly referred
to as spam. SPAM Bouncer can be fully configured to your own
unique preferences, allowing full automation and real time
control over what you choose to allow into your mailbox, in
turn increasing productivity and decreasing time wasted on
filtering unwanted junk mail.
Delivery
You can specify how you wish SPAM Bouncer to deal with messages
identified as spam by selecting the appropriate radio button.
'Send to POP3 mailbox' will route all intercepted spam to
the POP3 mailbox of your choice. 'Delete Mail' will automatically
delete the email when it reaches our mail servers. 'Bounce
Mail' will bounce the spam back to the original sender with
a delivery failure message detailing why the mail was rejected.
'Deliver Mail' will route the mail to it's original destination,
you can then use filtering rules in your email program to
deal with messages identified as spam based on headers or
subject.
The subject of messages identified as spam can be modified
by checking the 'Subject' box and entering the desired text
in the space provided.
Click the 'Save Settings' button to save any changes.
Tolerance
You may adjust the 'Tolerance' level to control how strictly
SPAM Bouncer will treat email sent to your Inbox. The less
tolerant you set SPAM Bouncer, the larger the amount of spam
mail intercepted, but the greater the risk of incorrectly
identifying legitimate email as spam. A moderate setting is
appropriate for the majority of users. Click the 'Save Settings'
button to implement any changes.
Languages
Specify the languages in which you expect to receive email
from the list box by holding the CTRL key and clicking your
mouse button on your desired languages. SPAM Bouncer will
consider messages written in languages not selected to have
a high probability of being spam. Click the 'Save Settings'
button to implement these changes.
White List
A 'White List' can be quickly and easily set up. A white list
defines email addresses or domain names from which you will
always allow mail to be delivered normally, regardless of
content. Should SPAM Bouncer incorrectly reject a legitimate
email from a particular address or domain name, you should
list it here. To add a domain or email address to your White
List, enter it into the space provided and click the 'Add'
button. The current entries on your whitelist are displayed,
to remove any entry simply click it's corresponding 'Remove'
link.
Black List
A black list defines email addresses or domain names from
which you wish to automatically reject email, regardless of
content. Should SPAM Bouncer fail to intercept a spam email
from a particular address or domain name, you may wish to
list it here. To add a domain or email address to your Black
List, enter it into the space provided and click the 'Add'
button. The current entries in your Black List are displayed,
to remove any entry simply click it's corresponding 'Remove'
link.
Headers
SPAM Bouncer adds a header 'X-Spam-Flag' to every message
it scans, the value of this header will be 'YES' or 'NO' indicating
whether or not the message has been identified as spam. You
can use this header in conjunction with the 'Send to POP3
mailbox' or 'Deliver Mail' deliver options and the filtering
facilities in your email program to handle spam messages as
you desire.
