Hello.  I have a question regarding weighting / scoring of the spam filters.  I can not find a place where you can change the weight / score given to the spam filter score of an incoming e-mail when the address the incoming e-mail is coming from has previously had email sent to it.  It appears that by default the score assigned is -25.  I would like to increase this to around - 50 or - 100, but I can not find where to make the change.  

I would be very appreciated if someone could let me know where I can modify this value.

Thank you,

Dustin

Hi Dustin, 

The filter you are referring to is the auto learn sender filter. This filter is used when you use Xeams to handle out-bound emails. Xeams learns and remembers email addresses on the Internet that receive emails from your local users. 

The score of this filter will increase by -25 everytime the user responds to that email address (so the score of this filter will be -100 when its the 4th time the user responds to that email address). 

To change this score, please follow the steps: 

1. Locate server.properties file in $INSTALL_DIR\config folder. Create a new text file if this file is missing. Ensure the name of the this file is server.properties and not service.properties or server.properties.txt

2. Add the following line: outbound.email.credit.score=50

This will change the default value from 25 to 50. Once this is done every email sent by your user will get a score of -200 (50 * -4 in the previous example above).

3. Save the file and restart Xeams

Thank you!
