Spam Levels in H-Sphere Solution To help with the tagging and deletion of spam emails within your H-Sphere account, we have listed below how many spam points each value is assigned. - Spam check level determines how aggressively spam will be filtered. Antispam filters analyze each email message as it passes through the gateway email server and score it between 1 and 14. The larger the number the more likely it is considered to be spam: * Very Aggressive: guarantees almost anything delivered to your mailbox will be legitimate. However you will lose a lot of email (processes messages that score over 2) * Aggressive: guarantees anything delivered to you will be legitimate. Still a fair chance of false positives (processes messages that score over 4) * Normal: might block some mailing lists messages (processes messages that score over 7) * Relaxed: accepts semi-legitimate bulk mail (processes messages that score over 10) * Permissive: accepts almost everything (processes messages that score over 14) - You can check how many points a spam message has been assigned from looking in the email headers. This will then enable to set a level which you are happy with. Below is a sample of the header you are looking for.
