Rules / Filtering Options

Messages identified as spam by our mail server will have the the following prefixes added to the subject line of the message:

  • (SPAM*) indicates a medium accuracy spam message
  • (SPAM**) indicates a high accuracy message

Since we identify spam at two accuracy levels you have the choice of setting up message rules for each accuracy level, or a single rule that catches all.

When setting up rules or filters the following options can be considered:

  • Catch All: filter for SPAM*
  • Just Medium Accuracy: filter for (SPAM*)
  • Just High Accuracy: filter for (SPAM**)
