• Mail: Filter Spam
(Spam Assassin) •
SpamAssassin
and SpamBox allow you to identify spam mail and flag it or
prevent it from entering your inbox. SpamAssassin is an automated
email filtering system that attempts to identify spam messages
based on the content of the email's headers and body. SpamBox
will deliver any emails identified as spam by SpamAssassin
into a separate mail folder named "spam". This "spam"
folder will fill up and should be emptied regularly. To learn
more about SpamAssassin, view the web site at http://spamassassin.apache.org/.
Please
note that you can only use BoxTrapper Spam trap or SpamAssassin
on an email account, not both. To
learn about BoxTrapper, view the Email Verification (BoxTrapper)
document.
