Global Spam Filtering Settings
Go to Content Filtering > Spam > Spam Filtering to enable spam filtering and specify spam notification settings. When enabled, all emails are screened for spam (default: enabled). See the table below for a description of the global spam filtering options.
SpamTitan Gateway uses a multi-layered approach to identify spam at the email gateway and help ensure there are a minimum number of false positives. The following tests are performed on each message:
harvesting/dictionary attack protection
collaborative spam fingerprint checks
RBL tests
SURBL tests
Bayesian analysis
rule-based spam scoring
allow and block list filters
Emails Headers
If a message is identified as spam, the following headers are added:
X-Spam-Status: Shows the email's spam score. The higher the value, the higher the possibility the message is spam. This header also lists all the rules that contributed to the spam score.
X-Spam-Flag: If this header is set, and its value is YES, then the message has been flagged as spam. If you select the spam is Passed (tagged)in your Anti-Spam Engine policy settings, this header can be used to filter out spam on end-user machines.
Note
Go to Reporting > History to view an email's spam score. Ensure Show-Score for Spam Messages is checked in Display Settings. A message's spam score can also be viewed in the X-Spam-Score and X-Spam-Status messages that are added to all inbound emails.
