•Cache Setting – Select the option that corresponds to how you want to treat Address Caching:

–Enable Partial Address Caching – This is the default setting. Enter a value into the Maximum Cache Entry field to specify how many entries should be stored in the memory cache. The default is 10000.

–Disable Address Caching – No addresses will be cached.

•Cache Timeout – When Enable Partial Address Caching is enabled, addresses of all e-mails passing through RiskFilter are checked against the validation server. E-mails from valid addresses are delivered, and the addresses held in cache for a set time. If an e-mail is sent from a previously validated address within this cache timeout, the e-mail is delivered without contacting the validation server. However, if another e-mail is sent from this address after the cache timeout, the server will be contacted again to validate the address. The default is 60.
