The "Custom spam rejection level" will only work when "Spam sensitivity" is set to CUSTOM.

-go to SERVER-MANAGER

-click EMAIL (on left-hand side)

-click CHANGE EMAIL FILTERING SETTINGS

-change "Spam sensitivity" to CUSTOM

This happens because by default, no mail (except for viruses) gets rejected without the admin doing something first.

=====Real-time Blackhole List (RBL)=====
 +
Enabling RBL's <br>
 +
RBL's are disabled by default to allow maximum accommodation (your ISP may be on a RBL & you may not know it). You can enable RBL's by:
 +
config setprop qpsmtpd DNSBL enabled RHSBL enabled
 +
signal-event email-update
 +
 +
You can see your RBL's by:
 +
config show qpsmtpd
 +
 +
You can add to your RBL's by:
 +
config setprop qpsmtpd RBLList <rbl-list-name>
 +
signal-event email-update
 +
 +
Many will argue what's best but most would agree that you can set best-practice recommended settings by:
 +
config setprop qpsmtpd RBLList sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org:whois.rfc-ignorant.org:dnsbl.njabl.org
 +
signal-event email-update
 +
 +
=====Server Only=====
 +
Some of the spam filter rules cannot work unless the SMESERVER knows the external IP of the box. If you put a SMESERVER in server-only mode behind other firewalls, it will lose some of the anti-spam rules.  For example, the rule that blocks attempts where spammers try "HELO a.b.c.d" where a.b.c.d is your external IP address.
 +
 +
Unfortunately, many admins believe that port-forwarding SMTP provides additional security. It doesn't, it limits the SMESERVER's ability to apply some rules.

====Spam Filters====

I seem to get more spam from a SERVER-ONLY box compared to a SERVER-GATEWAY box.

*I set the "Custom spam rejection level" in the SERVER-MANAGER to 10. I expected the spam emails to be rejected when the spam score is above 10 but it isn't. What do I do?
