I just noticed that the term "collecting" is besides for mail collecting
also used in the "penalty box" section for collecting ip-addresses.
Would this be confusing to new users? Especially in the "spam-trap"
description?
[Penalty Box]
The Penalty Box blocks mail based on the IP and the history of this IP. The
history is written to a Black Box by scoring events like "is SpamTrap
Address". The scoring values can be set below. If the score per Collection
Interval surpasses the Threshhold the mail is blocked (and the IP is marked
for blocking). These IP's continue to collect score values up to the Extreme
Threshold. After that the IP is denied the connection in a very early stage.
The White Box collects IP's which should not be put into the Black Box. The
White Box is always activated. The White Box works in a similar way for IP's
as the Whitelist works for addresses. Is an address in the whitelist or
whitedomain, the IP goes into the White Box.
Entries in Don't do penalties for these IP's or ISP/Secondary MX
Serverswill prevent from penalties. You may run it for some time with
option 2 to
fill White Box and Black Box.
[Spam Trap Addresses*]
Mail to any of these users will be blocked by Penalty Box. Whitelist will be
ignored. No collecting will occur;
@ domain.com makes the whole domain a spam domain. A username without domain
will register across all local domains.
[Collection Interval]
IP's will be blocked if their score exceeds the threshold during this
interval (minutes).
[Expiration Time for Extreme Denials]
Extreme Penalties will expire after this number of days. For example: 7
[Expiration Time for White Box Entries]
The White Box is always activated. The White Box works in a similar way for
IP's as the Whitelist works for addresses - but it is not a whitelist:
Bayesian check will be done. WhiteBox Entries will expire after this number
of days. For example: 30
How about something like this:
