· On/Off/Exclusive - Selecting On will turn spam filtering on, Off will turn off all spam filters and Exclusive will allow only emails from addresses and IPs you've listed in your Safelist (whitelist).
· Deliver to Spam Folder - This allows messages to be sent to the user's spam folder. You can decide to automatically delete the messages from this folder by selecting to delete after x amount of days or x amount of emails in the folder.
· Delete the email immediately - Spam email will be deleted immediately and not be delivered to the user's mailbox.
· Include "[SPAM]" at the beginning of the subject line - Mail delivered that is flagged by the filters as spam will have the text "[SPAM]" in the subject line.
