Configuring advanced anti-spam and anti-fraud options
The following is an example of a SAVE action that will save all messages in the
specified threshold to a single directory. A new directory will be created every
hour.
threshold=**%;action=SAVE;config=[path=./saved;
depth=0;defaultdomain=local;method-consolidated;
cycle=hourly]
About the TAG action
This action tags the message with a text string (such as “SPAM”) in the subject
of the message, and then delivers it to the recipient. The following options can
be specified for this action:
• target—This option specifies where the tag will be added. Currently, the tag
can only be added to the subject of a message.
• action—This option determines whether the message will be added to the
beginning (prefix) or end (postfix) of the message subject.
• text—This option specifies the actual text that will be added to the subject.
The text must be enclosed in brackets, and should consist of a short string
using uppercase characters (for example, SPAM), ending with a colon.
You can also include a confidence rating in the text portion of this tag. A
confidence rating provides a percentage rating, indicating the likelihood that
the email is spam using the Authority’s numerical spam confidence rating
system. To include the confidence rating in this tag, add the string %p%%
within the text brackets, following the colon (you must include a space
between the colon and the string), as shown in the example below. At run
time, the %p portion of this option is replaced with the specified threshold
value and the %% portion is translated to a single % sign.
The following is an example of a TAG action that will include the tag “SPAM” at
the beginning of the subject line:
threshold=**%;action=TAG;config=[target=subject;
action=prefix;text=[SPAM: %p%%]]
