Spam, the best way?

[skoena]

Hello,
I still receive a lot of spam that has subject ***SPAM*** or ***POSSIBLE SPAM*** (i added this to the Permissive policy).

For the whole domain (all mail boxes) I have Permissive as poilcy but still a lot of SPAM gets in the mailboxes. I want that all ***SPAM*** and ***POSSIBLE SPAM*** (because I see that everyting is spam so far) get's deleted before it get's in the mailboxes.

What is the best way to do this?

For the whole domain (all mail boxes) I have Permissive as poilcy but still a lot of SPAM gets in the mailboxes.

Permissive is as the name says permissive by default. To get a more strict filtering, edit the scores of the permissive policy and set the tag2 level e.g. to 4. and the kill level to something between 5 and 10.

Till,
I didn't change the settings. The settings that allready are there:

SPAM tag level 3
SPAM tag2 level 10
SPAM kill level 20

Then change the scores as I suggested above.

OK did that. Now lets wait a few days :-)

But do higher values not mean filer out more spam? Because now I lowered the values like you mentioned?

Higher values mean to filter out less spam.
