What kind of anti-spam mechanism offers the appliance other than RBL lookups?

ClerpremSpa

I cannot understand what kind of analysys the appliance performs against the mail flow.  How can i verify that the appliance performed an anti-spam check? Is there a log level which can be raised to let analyze the anti-spam engine activity?

    Hi,

    To monitor AntiSpam logs, take SSH to XG and go to option 5 > 3 Advance shell and type:

    cd /log

    cat awarrensmtp.log 

    Enable debug logs for in-depth analysis by running the command: service awarrensmtp:debug -d -s nosync

    Thanks

    I changed the added text in each of the checking rules.

    At this stage I haven't seen the XG actaully block any spam mail, just changes the headers or subject line. Also be aware that some message will have junk added into the body.

    I am hoping the MR3 or v16 will actually offer the ability quarantine the spam messages.

    Hi Ian,

    If the mail is fetched over POP3 protocol and detected as Spam, XG will not drop such mail(s) instead add a header indicating it as a Spam. 

    Thanks

    Hello. I experienced today an incredible mail loosing.

    My receiving MTA logged an error after the 'DATA' phase completion and did not reply with the 'OK' completion code.

    On the other side, the sender, logged that the session was correctly completed. 

    Messages lost!

    This is incredible.
