What types of spam filtering options are available?
Four levels of filtering options are
available to Okstate email account holders.
The following filter options are available:
·
No Spam
Filtering: No filtering will take place
·
Filter Adult
Spam Only: This level of
filtering is the default setting and will filter out spam messages with adult
(i.e. pornographic) content. These
messages will be placed in a quarantine area associated with your account. At this level of filtering, users will still
receive unsolicited bulk email messages.
·
Filter All
Spam: This setting will filter every kind of spam
including all unsolicited bulk email (i.e., both adult and non-adult).
·
Tag and
Deliver Spam: This method of spam filtering delivers all
spam to the user's regular email account.
However, the Proofpoint server "tags" or labels messages as
spam and indicates the spam "score" on the message subject line. (See I have chosen the Tag and Forward option…)
