Delivery options

This section allows you to chose your delivery preferences for email identified as spam. The spam filter can be configured to deal with email flagged as spam in the following ways:

Delete Spam
Email which the filter classifies as spam will be deleted automatically. Email which is deleted in this manner is unrecoverable.

Please note that there is always a risk that the spam filter may classify legitimate email as spam. You may not want to enable the automatic deletion of spam if you are concerned about this possibility.

Tag and Deliver Spam
Email which the spam filter classifies as spam will have **SPAM** added to the beginning of the subject heading. The tagged email is then delivered along with your regular email. This setting is useful if you would like to scan through the email classified as spam by the filter. You can set up an email rule which will place email with **SPAM** as part of the subject line into a different mail folder on your computer. Most email clients, such as Miscosoft Outlook or the Advanced Webmail interface, support email sorting.

Quarantine Spam
Email which the spam filter classifies as spam will be held back by the mail server and placed in a "quarantine folder". This folder is called "SPAM.incoming". Email which is placed in the quarantine filter will not be delivered with your regular email.

Email in your quarantine folder can be viewed by any email client which is capable of maintaining an IMAP connection with your email server. If you do not use such an email client, and you want to view your quarantined email, then click on the link below the "Quarantine Spam" option, called "View quarantined mail..." Clicking on this option will display a list of email in your quarantined folder. Click on the email(s) you would like to restore, and then click on the button labeled "Recover Mail". The email you selected will be delivered the next time you check your email.
