Thresholds
Each email is given a score from 0% (almost certainly legitimate) to 100% (almost certainly SPAM). The triple slider allows you to set the three thresholds used to determine the outcome of the pattern matching:
| Less than the first marker (in the gray area) | The email is not matched and will pass through unhindered |
| Greater than the first marker (in the light green area) | The email will have its subject marked but be sent to the original intended recipient(s) |
| Greater than the second (in the blue area) | The email will be blocked and optionally stored in the SPAM store |
| Greater than the third (in the red area) | The email will be deleted and not stored |
1 - 100
spam
If storing is checked on the Action page this list shows all the email that have been blocked as spam.
Each email has a score associated with it. A coloured background is shown on email that were scored using pattern matching
The color of each bar shows what action would be taken on an email with that score with the current threshold settings (Mark, Block or Delete).
You can use this display to allow easy configuration of the threshold levels with the slider above the list: For example, if a set of email was blocked (they will have blue bars) and you wish email scoring that highly to be deleted in future, drag the last thumb from the right hand side towards the left hand side until the red range shown includes the score of the email you wish to delete in future. When you let go and refresh the list the backgrounds will change color to reflect the new settings. Remember that the email shown are those that have been processed, but the thresholds you are setting are for future email.
Another example would be if some email were showing up as blocked but are legitimate (perhaps with scores of around 35%). In future you may wish to merely mark such email. To do this move the second slider thumb from the left towards the right, this increases the threshold above which email are blocked, while leaving the mark threshold where it is. Set the mark threshold to 34% and the block threshold to 37% and email scoring between 34 and 37 will be marked, not blocked in future. When you let go of the slider the list is updated to show which email will in future be let through and marked. You can immediately see whether you have inadvertently let through more spam.
