Configuring an increase in the spam rating of messages

You can configure the Anti-Spam settings affecting detection of a special message property - its spam rating. These settings allow you to configure the application to increase the spam rating of a message based on the analysis of its sender's email address and message subject, as well as when the message is written in a foreign language.

    • Sender's address in the message body does not contain the domain part. The spam rating of a message will be increased if the address of its sender contains no domain name.
