Analysis
Spam Filtering Level
Administering F-Secure Spam Control
Specify whether inbound mails are scanned for
spam.
The default value is Enabled.
Specify whether heuristic spam analysis is used
to filter inbound mails for spam.
The default value is Enabled.
Heuristic spam analysis slows down the
performance but improves the spam detection
rate.
Specify the spam filtering level. Decreasing the
level allows less spam to pass, but more regular
mails may be falsely identified as spam.
Increasing the level allows more spam to pass,
but a smaller number of regular e-mail
messages are falsely identified as spam.
For example, if the spam filtering level is set to 3,
more spam is filtered, but also more regular
mails may be falsely identified as spam. If the
spam filtering level is set to 7, more spam may
pass undetected, but a smaller number of
regular mails will be falsely identified as spam.
