Principle of spam filtering in ScanMail for Lotus Notes
eManager is an optional module that provides spam and content filtering. In
ScanMail for Lotus Notes, eManager is integrated in e-mail filter rules. E-mail
filter rules let the administrator define policy-based rules for e-mail content
filtering and mail and bandwidth management.
The spam filtering is based on a spam rule database with filter rules to identify
the spam mail. These rules are used by the content filter of eManager and are
applied to headers, subject, and content of e-mail. TrendLab has a Web of
personal and corporate mailboxes around the world where they collect spam. A
team continuously updates the spam database, just like the pattern file for the
virus solution. The fingerprints they create are frequently published, and
automatically downloaded and deployed in your ScanMail installation, freeing up
administrator time from dealing with the time-consuming issue of creating rules.
Configuring rules for spam filtering
You can create one or more rules that will activate filtering. Figure 6-8 shows the
ScanMail view from which you can create filter rules.
