blocking incoming emails

[satisden]

How is the mail coming in; SMTP (your own mail server on the internal network), POP or IMAP? If it's coming in with SSL POPS or IMAPS, it's not possible to scan.

[satisden]

Yeah our mails are comming through smtp..

[jcoffin]

Is Spam Blocker Lite seeing the incoming emails. look at the event logs? What is the score for the emails on SMTP?

[satisden]

Yes it shows the incoming mails and the Spam score for the particular mail i want to block is 4.5.

[jcoffin]

Then change the SMTP scan strength to 4.5. Spam Blocker Lite -> Settings -> SMTP -> Strength -> Custom : 4.5

[Danp]

Wouldn't he want to lower his Strength setting to 4.5 or lower if he is attempting to the the email?

[jcoffin]

Ah, yes Danp you are correct. So satisden are you using the default medium settings of 4.3 and quarantine but the emails are delivered to the recipient?

[satisden]

no our quarantine has bee set to low 5.0 and the emails are dilivered...

If you set it to Low (5.0) only things scoring 5.0 or above should be quarantined/marked/etc.
