I am getting a lot of SPAM or unsolicited emails, how can I combat this?
|
Our servers are equipped with several anti-SPAM features. SpamAssassin: SpamAssassin is an automated email filtering system that attempts to identify spam messages based on the content of the email's headers and body. Simply click on the SpamAssassin link in your cPanel to enable and setup this feature. We recommend a setting of "3" for this service. To auto-delete incoming SPAM, make sure you enable the auto-delete feature on the SpamAssassin page. Email Authentication: Email authentication is the effort to equip messages of the email transport system with enough verifiable information, so that recipients can recognize the nature of each incoming message automatically. Enabling email authentication will help fight the spread of spam. Domain Keys: DomainKeys is an e-mail authentication system that allows for incoming mail to be checked against the server it was sent from to verify that the mail has not been modified. This ensures that messages are actually coming from the listed sender and allows abusive messages to be tracked with more ease. All three of the methods above work to prevent forged mail from going in and out of your server. The great benefit of enabling these methods is to prevent mail from looking like it is coming from your domain(s). When enabled, these methods should reduce the amount of bounce messages or unwanted emails received when spammers "spoof" one or more of your email addresses.
