Spam subject tag

If an incoming e-mail will be recognized as spam this value will be prepended to the original e-mail subject.

Required hits

Spamassassin uses hits to rate incoming emails. This value tells spamassassin how many hits are required for an incoming e-mail to be recognised as spam. Values like 5 or 6 should be reasonable.

White list

E-mails coming from these addresses or domains (using *@domain.com) will never be treated like spam.

Black list

E-mails coming from these addresses are always treated like spam.

Note

Black list and white list for the POP3 proxy will NOT be used by the SMTP proxy.
