Changing the value of words in the SurfControl Dictionaries

You can change the value of a word or phrase to fine-tune your filtering. You may want to do this for the following reasons:

You find that messages containing a certain word are not being stopped. Increasing the value will mean that any messages containing this word will need to have fewer occurances before the filter triggers.

You find that messages containing a certain word are being stopped unnecessarily. Decreasing the value will allow more occurances of the word within a message before the filter is triggered.

To change the value of words and phrases:

1Select Dictionary Manager > SurfControl Dictionaries from the Policy Manager tab.

2Click the title of the dictionary that you are interested in.

3Click the word or phrase that you want to change the value for.

4In the Add/Edit Phrase screen you will see the settings for the selected word or phrase. Change the value in the Phrase Value: field.
