every email to your account will be forwarded to specified email address. If you
want to keep a copy of email in your inbox, please input both of your email
address and forwarding email address. E.g., if your account is test@adminsystem.com
and you want to forward all emails to test@emailarchitect.net. You should input
"test@adminsystem.com, test@emailarchitect.net" in Options -> Email Forwarding.

Anti-Spam
- Introduction
-
EmailArchitect Anti-Spam has both of IP/Content blocker and Content filter. IP/Content
blocker is set by "system" user, normal user cannot change or remove it. IP/Content
blocker rejects the obvious junk email in SMTP service, and the junk email will
never delivered to user mailbox. Differ to IP/Content blocker, Content filter only
filters the possible junk email to "Junk folder" or add "*SPAM*" keyword
in email subject.
- Move to Junk folder
-
If you use webmail or IMAP4 protocol to receive email, this option is recommended.
You can check your junk folder directly by webmail or IMAP4 client.
- Add "*SPAM*" keyword in email subject
-
If you use POP3 protocol to receive email and you never logon webmail, this option
is recommended. And we also suggest that you set a customized rule in your email
client: If subject contains "*SPAM*" then move it to a specified folder.
- Junk Folder
-
If you enable "Anti-Spam", all emails in Junk folder will be deleted by server automatically
after 3 days.
Customized Filters
- Body Text and Message Body
-
Body Text is decoded text which is displayed in Web Mail; Message Body is encoded
content of entire message. We do not suggest to use "Message Body" in filters.
