Required Hits:

In the field Required Hits you define at what certainty an e mail is to be

marked as spam. The spam filter rates incoming e mails according to their

content with a special rating system. If an e mail contains a text which im 

plies that this e mail could be spam a hit will be added. On the other hand

the spam filter also decreases hits it finds elements which are normally not

presend in spam e mails. Because of this it can also be possible to have a

negative value of hits in the end. A reasonable value for this field should

be between 0 and 20, where with a value of 0 also important e mails could

be falsely marked as spam and with a value of 20 probably not all spam

e mails will be detected as such.

Rewrite Subject Line:

If the spam filter detects a spam e mail and this function is activated, it will

add the text '*****SPAM*****' to the subject of the e mail. With this subject

you can define a filter in your local e mail client, which will automatically

delete such mails or move them into a special folder.

Report in Header:

If the spam filter detects a spam e mail, a report will be added to the mail.

This report also contains details about the hits. If this report should not be

inserted directly into the e mail but into the headers, please activate this

function.

De HTML Spam:

This function converts a detected spam e mail from HTML format into

plaintext. HTML e mails can contain malicious code with pictures, tables

or formatted texts with user defined colors and font types. This function

increases security and should be activated.

Short Report:

If you activate this option, then the spam filter writes a shortened report

into the mail or the header.
