| SPAM Filtering |
|
You can control your own SPAM filtering through our Contol Panel. Go to http://hosting.buentec.com login with your email address and password. towards the bottom of the screen there are 2 particularly useful buttons.
Basically the SPAM filtering works like this: There are a bunch of tests run by the serve to determine whether or not something is SPAM. Based on the results, the message is given a score: squeaky clean = 0 <----------------------> 7 = definitely SPAM Under the first tab [ Preferences ]: 1) The first text box let's you set the sensitivity for the filter on the account. By default it is 7, which does very little. Most clients find that a 2 or 3 works well. Start with 3 (less sensitive) 2) The second text box is the text that will be added to the subject line of any mail that meets the sensitivity requirement you set in box 1. 3) If you check this box all messages that meet your sensitivity requirement will be junked and you will never see them, or be able to get them back. Not recommended. Most email clients will by default do some junk filtering based on the text in the mail, and the ****SPAM**** heading that the server adds to the subject line of the mail it deems to be junk will cause the mail to go directly into your SPAM or Junk folder in your email client, so you won't see the Junk mail, but you can always go looking for it. One other note. If you setup a 'catch-all' email account on the domain (where mail goes if it is incorrectly addressed), you are going to get a ton of junk mail in that account. Also, common account names like info@yourdomain.com will get loads of junk. I have my domain configured to bounce any messages that are incorrectly addressed rather than forwarding them to a real account, but of course that is your call entirely. |
