In this step you will receive confirmation that your account has been created and will be advised to choose your spam filtering settings. It is recommended that you choose your Spam Filtering settings. The recommended settings are already set for you. This will greatly reduce the amount of spam that you receive.
Filter options
You can choose between three filtering modes: Off, Standard, Light and Aggressive. Light filtering uses a higher point total to classify spam, and therefore is less capable of detecting and filtering out spam; however, if you have set your spam to by deleted automatically, you may want to use the lighter filtering mode to ensure that regular email classified as spam is not deleted.
Please note: 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.
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
Here you can choose among three time period after which the spam will be deleted: after one week, after two weeks, after one month.
Email which the filter classifies as spam will be deleted automatically after the specified period. 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.
