Configuration and Customisation
The configuration of the Anti-Spam
protection settings found under
the Protection settings menu is a
key part of the implementation of
the solution. From these settings,
an Administrator specifies what
protocols may be scanned for
Spam (SMTP, POP3, or IMAP4), the
sensitivity level that needs to be
set for the Anti-Spam protection, the actions Panda GateDefender
Performa should perform on messages classified as Spam or Probably
Spam, and white list and blacklist configuration. For the purposes of
this test, engineers entered internal domain information, mail server
settings, and an email address for redirection.
Configuring the scanning is a simple process, merely consisting of
enabling the appropriate checkbox on a per protocol basis, setting
the required sensitivity level to Low, Medium, or High, and selecting
the Action to take on messages classified as Probably Spam or Spam.
There are additional settings available for whitelist and blacklist
configuration. The whitelist and blacklist functionality may be
configured by an Administrator to define a list of addresses, domains
and/or IP addresses for which messages will not be scanned for Spam
or for which messages will always be treated as Spam.
The sensitivity level for the Anti-Spam protection specifies the tolerance
level of the protection to suspicious messages. The Low sensitivity level
provides the least protection against these types of messages, but this
also means that it is highly improbable that the appliance will have a
