What to do with Spam

Spam Actions

This can be any combination of 1 or more of the following keywords, and these actions are applied to any message which is spam.
"deliver" - the message is delivered to the recipient as normal
"delete" - the message is deleted
"store" - the message is stored in the quarantine
"bounce" - a rejection message is sent back to the sender
"forward" - an email address is supplied, to which the message is forwarded
"striphtml" - convert all in-line HTML content in the message to be stripped to plain text, which removes all images and scripts and so can be used to protect your users from offensive spam. Note that using this action on its own does not imply that the message will be delivered, you will need to specify "deliver" or "forward" to actually deliver the message.


High Scoring Spam Actions

This is the same as the "Spam Actions" option above, but it gives the actions to apply to any message whose SpamAssassin score is above the "High Scoring" threshold described above.

Non Spam Actions

This is just like the "Spam Actions" option above, except that it applies to messages that are *NOT* spam.

Sender Spam Report

When the "bounce" spam action is applied to a message that triggered both a "Spam List" check and SpamAssassin, this file gives the text to put in that message.

Sender Spam List Report

When the "bounce" spam action is applied to a message that triggered a "Spam List" check, this file gives the text to put in that message.

Sender SpamAssassin Report

When the "bounce" spam action is applied to a message that triggered SpamAssassin, this file gives the text to put in that message.

Inline Spam Warning

If you use the 'attachment' Spam Action or High Scoring Spam Action then this is the location of inline spam report that is inserted at the top of the message.
