If you can afford a third party app go for it. If you are like us and cannot afford it you might try our settings which we have been quite happy with. Yes "some" spam still get's through it is just a tiny fraction of what gets caught

Our stats show that for the past two weeks (as of midnight last night)

Spam trapped: 35,405
Mail Delivered: 46,157
False Positives Redirected: 47 (0.18%)
Infected Attachments Trapped: 1,212

You can view our settings (except for inbound rules) at:

http://www.summitinternetservices.com/tests.htm

Feel free to try them or modify them as you see fit. Let me know how they work for you.

Our False Positive rate is "normal" down around 0.13% but last Friday we got almost double (10) what we normally do (1-3). Reason: One person sending mail to someone on our system kept getting trapped and ignored the instructions that were sent to them explaining how to get past the filters.

Most spam uses a bogus From addess. This will do you little to no good.

As I have found, the Anti-spam tools that come with Imail aren't very effective. You'll need to look to a third party app.

Subject: [IMail Forum] Adding SPAM Addesses to IMail's AntiSpam

I'm new to Imail and I've read the release notes, FAQs and user manual but I can't find an answer to my question.

Imail anti-spam is catching about 30% of spam coming in to one particular user. What I've asked her to do is save the emails for me and I'll extract the from addresses and add them to Imail's anti-spam list. So, which file(s) do I add the email from addresses to?

Am I even asking the right question?

Thanks,
Hank
