A More Aggressive Response:
Deleting the Worst of the Spam

This page describes a scenario in which you may want to use the Aggressive/No Quarantine setting for CITES Spam Control.

You're convinced you're the target of every spammer on the planet. You'd rather the worst of the spam is automatically deleted by CITES Spam Control.

Solution:
Choose either Aggressive or No Quarantine as your Personal Spam Policy.

With either of these options, messages that are certain spam are deleted before reaching your inbox. A small number of email messages might be marked as likely spam--messages with questionable characteristics that are probably spam. If you choose the Aggressive policy, these messages will be put in Quarantine. You should use your daily digest to monitor the contents of your Quarantine to make sure no legitimate email has been identified as spam. Alternatively, with the No Quarantine policy you can have likely spam delivered to your mailbox so that you can determine whether they are legitimate or spam on a case-by-case basis. CITES Spam Control scores most messages as either legitimate email or certain spam, so you should have very few messages that fall into the likely spam category.
