Example HTML Feature Filtering Configuration

You should be aware that some of the HTML features available for selection are common to all HTML messages not just spam (i.e. hyperlinks). Selecting one of these features may cause false positives. As you gain experience with the HTML feature filtering options, you will be able to modify the settings based on your preferences. However, below you will find a suggested initial configuration that will enable you to use the HTML feature filter with success.

  3. For the option labeled Action to be taken on email determined to be spam, select Insert X-Header. This enables you to identify spam while still having access to the messages.
