Internet Services - Spam Filtering FAQ

Can the spam filtering system be used for an individual account (not the whole domain)?

Well, yes, and no. If your current e-mail provider can forward your e-mail to us, then we can setup a secure mail account on our system for you. If they cannot do this, then the answer is no, we have to filter for the entire domain.

What is a whitelist?

A whitelist is a list of sender e-mail addresses where, if the e-mail is from a member in the list, the e-mail will be allowed to pass through the filtering system without being tagged as spam, regardless of the content of the e-mail message. For example, if a friend sends you a dirty joke in e-mail, and the e-mails are getting marked as spam, you could add your friend's name to your whitelist so their e-mail will not get tagged as spam.

What is a blacklist?

A blacklist is a list of e-mail sender addresses where if an e-mail arrives with a from address of someone in the blacklist, the e-mail will automatically be tagged as spam, regardless of the content of the e-mail.

What is the format for adding entries to a whitelist or blacklist?

To add a whole domain, use the format

*@domain.com

To add a single user, use the format

user@domain.com

Can I whitelist or blacklist an entire domain?

Yes, see the answer to the question above.

How do users automatically throw away e-mail marked as spam?

Well, that depends on what program your users use for e-mail. In most e-mail programs you setup filters or rules so that when the e-mail program sees one of our tags, it knows the e-mail is spam, and takes the action that the user wants.

Or, you could set the delete hits parameter to a value where if the email message hits is above this value, we do not deliver the message to the end user.
