TRAFFIC CONTROL

After completing the security verification for mail, RiskFilter will forward it to the e-mail server according to the route configuration. To protect e-mail systems from the impact of heavy traffic, Traffic Control is designed to limit the mail traffic sent to the e-mail system. Use the Traffic Control screen to do this.

To set up traffic control:

1Select Send Settings > Traffic Control from the System Settings tab.

2In the Maximum number of messages relayed to an internal e-mail server field, enter the maximum number of messages that you want to be relayed to your internal e-mail server per hour. This should be set up according to the incoming traffic setting of your e-mail server.

3Click Submit to put the new settings into effect or Reset if you want to cancel the modifications made to the current settings.

ADVANCED DELIVERY

If a delivery attempt fails because the e-mail server reports a receiving error, RiskFilter places the message into the Deferred Messages queue. It then tries to deliver the message again according to specified rules. You can specify how long RiskFilter continues to make delivery attempts, the maximum retry period and the relevant actions to take after delivery has failed. Undeliverable messages are returned to the original sender or, if this cannot be done, a message is sent to the specified postmaster account. This is.accompanied by a copy of the original message. Use the Advanced Delivery screen to configure delivery attempts.
