Commercial bulk email

Unlike spam email, commercial bulk email is often solicited by its recipients, sometimes inadvertently. For example, a user might neglect to clear a check box to “Share my personal information with selected partners” on a typical “opt out” privacy rights form. The commercial bulk email filter can analyze a message to determine whether it was sent from a third-party bulk email management company or directly from a business. Configure the commercial bulk email filter on the page Main > Policy Management > Filters > Add (or Edit) Filter.

If your subscription includes the Email Security Hybrid module, you can activate commercial bulk email analysis as part of the email hybrid service pre-filtering process. The results of pre-filtering are added to the message header passed to on- premises email protection software, which uses the hybrid service score to determine how the message is processed.
