Chapter 15: Using Antivirus and Antispam Filtering 543

Table 122: Antispam Block List Settings Fields

In this field…

Do this…

Block Action Specify the action VStream Antispam should take upon receiving an email

from a blocked sender, by selecting one of the following:

• None. Take no action.

• Reject. Block the email.

• Mark Subject. Mark the email's Subject line.

If you select Mark Subject, the Mark Text field appears.

Note: If the Block List engine is in Monitor Only mode, this setting is ignored.

For information on changing the engine's mode, see Enabling/Disabling

VStream Antispam on page 531.

Mark Text Type the prefix to the text appearing in the Subject field of the spam

notification email.

For example, if you type [SPAM] and the original email's Subject field

displays "Earn Money the Easy Way", the spam notification email's Subject

field will display: "[SPAM] Earn Money the Easy Way".

The default value is [SPAM].

Note: If your email client allows defining rules based on the Subject field,

you can create rules specifying that emails whose Subject field contains

certain words should be moved to specific folders. For example, you can

configure your email client to move all emails whose Subject field contains

[SPAM] directly to the Deleted Items folder.

Track Blocked

Specify whether VStream Antispam should log emails from blocked

senders, by selecting one of the following:

• Log. VStream Antispam should log emails from blocked

senders.

• None. VStream Antispam should not log emails from blocked

senders.
