Step 2: Quick properties

In this step you can change your password, change your spam filtering settings, add a white or black list, forward your email account to another account and keep a copy of forwarded messages.

Click the “Change” button to change your current password.

From the drop-down menus you can modify the current settings by selecting the wanted spam filtering settings.

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 Microsoft 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.

Add a Whitelist

Add email addresses to this list if there are addresses you wish to be certain you receive email from, no matter how you have configured the spam filter. You may also allow email from an entire domain, i.e. if you want to let all email through which comes from domain.com, then add *@domain.com to your Whitelist.  When an email is received from an address placed on the Whitelist that email is delivered to your inbox as regular mail, despite anything the spam filter may find.

Add a Blacklist

Similar to the White list, except this list automatically blocks email sent from the specified addresses. You may also block entire domains by adding *@domain.com.

Email forwarding setup

This function allows you to forward your regular email accounts to another email address.

Enter an existing email address in the "Forward To" textbox. This email address can be either an external address (e.g. a hotmail account) or one of your domain's regular accounts. You can forward an account to multiple addresses by entering the addresses in the "Forward To" textbox separated by commas and with no space. To change the forward to account(s), enter the new email account(s) in the "Forward to" textbox.

You have also the option of keeping a copy of email in the forwarded account mailbox after forwarding the account. Click the "Keep a copy of forwarded messages" checkbox to activate this option.

Email forwarding can be cancelled by deleting the "forward to" account(s).

Note: Please expect a 10 to 15 minute delay before any email forwarding changes become active.
