Anti-spam threshold

The spam threshold determines how strict the anti-spam system will be when judging whether an email may or may not be spam. There are over 600 rules against which any email is tested. Some of these include:

• Email contains words typical of spam email (such as Opt In, Opt Out, or Free).
• Email uses unnecessarily large numbers of exclamation marks.
• Email does not have a real name in the reply address.
• Email has a fake reply email address.

The higher the threshold is set to, the more spam tests an email has to fail before it gets marked as spam.
