Basic Anti Spam and Anti Virus

Inside your hosting control panel you can enable/disable anti virus and anti spam filters for your e-mail accounts for a small fee.
This Anti Spam and Anti Virus feature will be perfectly fine for most customers. You can define if detected spam or virus e-mails should be deleted or forwarded to a special mail box. The accuracy is around 90% and the false detection rate is low.

AntiSpam allows to trace, filter out and delete spam messages coming to your mailbox. The system doesn't delete messages recognized as spam. It only marks them as spam and delivers them in a regular way, which is why these messages also count against your summary traffic.

You can enable antispam protection:
- on the account level
- on the mail domain level
- on the mail resource level

    • Spam check level determines how aggressively spam will be filtered. Antispam filters analyze each email message as it passes through the gateway email server and score it between 1 and 14. The larger the number the more likely it is considered to be spam:
      • Very Aggressive: guarantees almost anything delivered to your mailbox will be legitimate. However you will lose a lot of email (rejects messages that score over 2)
      • Aggressive: guarantees anything delivered to you will be legitimate. Still a fair chance of false positives (rejects messages that score over 4)
      • Normal: might block some mailing lists messages (rejects messages that score over 7)
      • Relaxed: accepts semi-legitimate bulk mail (rejects messages that score over 10)
      • Permissive: accepts almost everything (rejects messages that score over 14)

      The default value is usually 5, but this can be changed by the hosting system administrator.

    • Spam processing: By default it is set to Mark as spam, but you can change configuration.
    • White List - sender e-mail addresses to accept
    • Black List - sender e-mail addresses to reject

    Note: White and Black Lists have priority over the spam check level.
       * you can use masks using '*' and '?'. For example: *@domain.com, ? This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it , *.domain.com
       * e-mail addresses or masks should be separated by ',' or ';' or 'ENTER' or 'TAB' or 'SPACE'.
