Anti-Spam

This chapter introduces and shows you how to configure the anti-spam scanner.

24.1 Anti-Spam Overview

The anti-spam feature marks or discards spam. Activate the anti-spam subscription service for sender IP reputation checking, mail content analysis, and virus outbreak detection. Use the white list to identify legitimate e-mail. Use the black list to identify spam e-mail. You can also check e- mail against a DNS black list (DNSBL) of IP addresses of servers suspected of being used by spammers.
