Anti-Spam Filter Settings

 Incoming and outgoing emails can be inspected.
 Emails exceeding the threshold score can have a warning message added and a

score tag appended to the subject, whereas others below the threshold score can

only have a score tag appended in the subject line.

 The inspection methods utilized:

Verify with spam fingerprint database: Generates an ID number by

analyzing the email with algorithms, and then makes a comparison with the

spam ID list on the server.

Enable spam signature push update: Generates a value by analyzing the

email with algorithms, and then compares it to the spam signatures on the

database.

Greylist Filtering: Rejects the session requests from new senders for the

first time.

Verify sender’s IP with Real-Time Block List: Compares the sender’s IP

address to the blacklist on the server.

Enable Bayesian filtering: Compares the email header to the Bayesian

database.

Enable Sender Policy Framework(SPF): Checks whether the sender’s IP

address is identical with the one specified in the DNS SPF record.

Enable DomainKey: Verifies the domain of an email sender and the

message integrity.

 Configuring the filtering priority of Personal rules and Global rules.

Note:

1. Once the Proxy Server is deployed, the proxy settings under System > Configuration >

Settings must be configured for the CS-2001 to access the Internet.

2. The CS-2001 will apply its default spam filtering settings if no method has been selected.

3. Bayesian filtering is not effective unless at least 200 messages have been classified for spam

and ham individually.
