In this dialog you can check the Turn on Anti-Spam protection checkbox to allow/forbid the anti-spam
scanning of email communication.
In this dialog you can also select more or less aggressive scoring measures. The Anti-Spam filter assigns
each message a score (i.e. how similar the message content is to SPAM) based on several dynamic scanning
techniques. You can adjust the Mark message as spam if the score is greater or equal to setting by either
typing the value (50 to 90) or by moving the slider left or right.
Here is a general review of the scoring threshold:
Value 90 - Most incoming email messages will be delivered normally (without being marked as spam).
The most easily identified spam will be filtered out, but a significant amount of spam may still be allowed
through.
Value 80-89 - Email messages likely to be spam will be filtered out. Some non-spam messages may be
incorrectly filtered as well.
Value 60-79 - Considered as a quite aggressive configuration. Email messages that are possibly spam
will be filtered out. Non-spam messages are likely to be caught as well.
Value 50-59 - Very aggressive configuration. Non-spam email messages are as likely to be caught as
real spam messages. This threshold range is not recommended for normal use.
You can further define how the detected spam email messages should be treated:
