Email Filters

FastVirtual provides advanced email filtering options for all email mailboxes. You may select to filter messages based on the 5 most popular email blacklists, use smart spam detection based on common spam subject patterns, or filter based on message content you specify. Filtered messages can be delivered normally, but with "SPAM" appended to the subject, returned to the sender, filtered without notification, or sent to FastVirtual's "Confirminator", which requires the sender to confirm himself before his message is delivered. Senders only need to do this once, after which their messages will be delivered normally. This has the ability to filter out 100% of all automated spam.

Email filters can be configured on a global bases, affecting all email accounts on your domain, and individually, on a per-account basis. If global filtering is configured, individual filtering options are also subject to global filtering rules.

Mailbox owners may also access these settings for their individual email mailbox by logging in to the email management system using their email address and password.

View Filtered Messages

If you have configured email filters (spam filters) to retain filtered messages, this section provides access to all filtered mail. Filtered messages are kept for 10 days before being permanently deleted. You can view filtered messages on a per account basis, or view all filtered mail for all mailboxes at once.

Mailbox owners may also access these settings for their individual email mailbox by logging in to the email management system using their email address and password.
