1. The email message is marked as *** — If it is detected (by our own proprietary 3rd party systems, software, c-panel plugins, plugins for: postfix, exim & spamassassin) as possible virus,phish,scams,abuse,spam. You can choose to receive these marked messages, you can increase (or decrease) the score for these messages or you do not have to receive these messages and you can auto delete them, based on the spam score number in your settings.
You are in control of which emails you receive, yourself!
2. Auto Delete Detected Spam
Doing your Actual Settings:
The default setting is 5 with no auto deletion
You can change your level to any number between 1 and 9
(Default = 5)
1 = Strict
5 = Average
9 = Loose
You can Enable Auto Deletion or you can disable auto deletion
(Default = Disable)
More Information & Assistance with deciding what your own domain spam levels should be
If all, or almost all of the real spam your are receiving is marked: *** – at the default level of “5” – you can enable auto deletion and then you will not longer receive any emails marked: ***
If too many of the valid emails you are receiving is marked: *** – at the default level of “5” – you can increase your level to “6”, after a day or two, try “7” or “8” or even “9” (maximum is 9.9)
If you are receiving too much spam, reduce your default level of “5” to “4”, “3” and even “2” (minimum is 1) up to he point where you can enable auto deletion
