This screen allows you to setup the spam filtering that occurs when you press the 'Check' button in WebMail.

Apply Spam Filter - Check the checkbox, select the level and then 'save' to turn this option on. If a message is rated equal to or above this setting then it will be moved into your Spam folder when you check mail. Server Spam settings - another link to the 'Friends Settings' (see 'Options - Friends'). Reject List - When you check mail, if a message is from an email address in your reject list, it will be automatically destroyed, unless you have selected to keep these messages in your Trash folder (using the checkbox). Accept - If you've used the reject list to reject a group of email addresses (e.g., '*@hotmail.com'), then you can use the accept list to allow individual email addresses through that would otherwise be rejected, (e.g. 'george123@hotmail.com'). Save - Save when you have finished.

Spam Control

Within WebMail there is a number of Spam Control options available. -----------------------------------------

1.	Friends - automatically stores email from unknown senders in your 'pending' folder awaiting a reply to a confirmation message. This helps check they are a real person and not just a spam program.
2.	Spam Filtering - automatically stores email that is suspected to be spam in your 'held' folder for 2 weeks. You can go to your 'held' folder to release messages wrongly identified as spam.
3.	SPF filtering - This blocks most spam by rejecting emails where the sending machine is not the mail server for the domain used in the from address

----------------------------------------- We recommend users control spam by setting -----------------------------------------

1.	Friends - On
2.	SPF filtering - on or Spam Filtering - on
