Details:
There are two user-adjustable threshholds for spam filtration. The first threshhold
is for email that is probably not spam. The default setting for this is 4. It is called
the "Tag engine sensitivity" threshhold. If the Spam Guardian finds that an email
has a spam likelihood of less than the tag threshhold level, it will be considered
good email (ham) and will be delivered normally.
The next level is the "Tagged" level. The default setting for this is between 4
(The "Tag engine sensitivity") and 6 (The "Drop engine sensitivity").
Any email that Spam Guardian finds to be between the tag threshhold and the
drop threshhold, it will change the subject line to include the term ***SPAM*** (this
text can also be changed by the user)
Mail with a spam score greater than the drop threshhold (6 by default) will be
discarded (dropped).
You can make Spam Guardian more sensitive by lowering one or both of the
numbers. If you reduce the Tag engine sensitivity for instance to 3, then more
email will be tagged as SPAM. If you reduce the Drop engine sensitivity, more
email will be discarded. Be careful not to set the drop sensitivity too low, or you
will start missing good emails.
There are pre-set sensitivity levels that you can use, or you can choose "custom"
and set it to any number you wish.
Very Strict = 2
Strict = 4
Moderate = 6
Permissive = 10
Very Permissive = 15
