Antispam tab

Select the Antispam tab on the policy to view or modify rules for spam protection, and to configure settings to detect commercial bulk mail in inbound messages.

By design, email is checked for spam under the following conditions:

• Email is inbound from the Internet.
• The email message is not stopped by some other rule, for example it contains a virus or a barred attachment type.
• The Antispam service is enabled for the policy (i.e., you are licensed for the service).

All such email is assigned a spam score (unless it is blocked by system-wide rules that identify bulk spam). This is visible in the message header and message tracking results. The higher the spam score, the more likely it is to be spam. Many rules are used to generate the spam score, including analysis of the words within the message, where it came from, its headers, and comparisons with other spam and non-spam email.
