SPAM KEYWORD
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
CMDSPACE
|
This rule detects spaces in commands that are issued to the server. This is very common in spam and not common in regular email.
|
|
WEIGHT10
|
Our spam filtering software will assign a total weight to email message based on the particular tests that have failed. WEIGHT10 reflects a very low total weight, which means that more SPAM would be caught using this keyword, although a lot of legitimate mail may also be caught.
|
|
WEIGHT15
|
This is similar to WEIGHT10 only with a higher threshold to catch less SPAM, but also eliminate some false positives (legit mail) from being junked.
|
|
WEIGHT20
|
This is similar to WEIGHT10 and WEIGHT15 only with a higher threshold to catch less SPAM, but also eliminate most false positives (legit mail) from being junked.
