In the combined criterion Emails containing these phrases under the Spam (Body)
tab, you are using the Anti-spam: Frequently Used Spam Phrases dictionary to check
the e-mail bodies of all inbound e-mails for spam. This dictionary has a weighting value of
5. If a word or phrase from this dictionary is found in an e-mail, for instance “check it out”,
it receives a score of 5. Now specify the number of occurrences required for this criterion
to be taken into account in the overall score (Minimum threshold) as well as the
maximum number of occurrences allowed (Maximum score). To do so, add up the value
of the words to be found. If, for instance, you specify a value of 30 (as in our
pre-configured job), six different words from this dictionary must be found in the message
for the message to be classified as spam according to this criterion. If only three words
are found, the message is not definitely spam according to this criterion, but the
probability of it being spam is already quite high. If the dictionary had a threshold value of
10, three hits would be enough to classify the e-mail as spam.
Note: Words that occur more than once in an e-mail are counted only once. If, for
example, the phrase “check it out” occurs three times within the same e-mail, it
would add only 5 to the score, not 15 (as in a normal Wall Content Filtering job).
In addition, specify the Relevance of this criteria, which determines the extent to which
the criterion is taken into consideration in the overall evaluation. If set to Very high, the
