New page

==Content Filters==

To reduce the amount of spam you receive, add a Content Filter named "URIBL_BLACK" (no
quotes) and then set it to move any email with URIBL_BLACK in the HEADER to the JunkMail folder.

Also, create another Content Filter just like the one above except name it "RCVD_IN_PBL" (no
quotes) and have it move any email with RCVD_IN_PBL in the HEADER to the JunkMail folder.

There are many blacklists, but these two seem to be very reliable.

The following is how to add a content filter to your domain to reduce spam by filtering out e-mails marked by our server level spam filters and blacklist lookups:

* Login at http://mail.yourdomain.com/ with the mailadmin@yourdomain.com e-mail administrator.
(Replace yourdomain.com with your actual domain name)
# From the 'Domain Settings' drop-down menu, select 'Domain Content Filtering'
# Click on the 'Add Filter' icon
# Under the 'Contains Specific Words or Phrases' group, check 'Email Headers'
# Click 'Next'
# Under 'Filter Type', choose 'OR'
# In the large text box, enter the following four lines:
<pre>
URIBL_BLACK
RCVD_IN_PBL
Bayesian
</pre>

# Click 'Next'
# In the text box labeled 'Rule Name', enter "SA BL Content Filter"(without the quotes)
# Under the 'Actions' section, Check 'Move message to folder' and enter "Junk E-Mail"(without the quotes) into the text box
# Click the 'Save' icon

*You should notice a nice reduction in the amount of spam to your inbox after creating this filter.

*You'll want to occasionally check the 'Junk E-Mail' folder from time to time to make sure nothing is getting caught that you don't want caught or if you think you are missing an e-mail.

		+	==Forwarded Mail - How to Reduce Spam==
		+	If you will be forwarding your mail to a different address, we suggest setting up the email account as a User on our mail servers instead of as an Alias/Forwarding. Then after the User is setup, you can login via webmail and add a Forwarding address to the User (be sure the check the box to Delete on Forward).
		+
		+	This allows the incoming mail to be scanned for spam first, before it is forwarded.
