Applies To:

MailSite 9.4
Anti-Spam

Synopsis:

In MailSite 9.4 the Anti Spam thresholds have changed. The Anti Spam engine in MailSite marks messages between 1 and 10. 0 is reserved to indicate the message was not scanned by the spam engine. The Sieve Filters in MailSite are used to decide how to handle these messages.

MailSite 9.4 implements version 6 of the MailShell Anti Spam engine.
Prior versions of MailSite implemented Version 5.
