To enable Anti-Spam and set the Recommended security level:

    The Settings window opens.

  3. Select the Protection section.

    The window displays the settings of Anti-Spam.

  5. Enable Anti-Spam using the switch.
  6. In the Security level section, make sure that the Recommended security level is set.

The following limitations apply to Anti-Spam:

  • The Anti-Spam component can only analyze messages that are fully downloaded from the mail server, regardless of the protocol used.
  • The Anti-Spam component does not check mail transferred using MAPI protocol.

The Anti-Spam component is disabled when you upgrade to a more recent application version. You can enable the component manually.

In some application versions, to enable the Anti-Spam component, you must accept the terms of the Statement regarding data processing for Anti-Spam.
