Sentex
is proud to present “SpamAssassin”
(a SPAM email filtering program for Sentex subscribers).
SpamAssassin
is a reliable, easy to use program that automatically identifies unwanted
emails as Spam. It works by labeling emails with "suspicious"
characteristics (such as a blocked return address) as well as emails from
known Spam lists. This allows your email program to automatically filter
these emails to a "suspected_spam" folder where you can proceed to
delete them at your convenience.
To enable SpamAssassin for filtering (tagging) suspicious emails, please follow the five simple steps below.
1. Close Outlook Express (or your regular mail reader).
The sentex_username is the first part of your email address.
(eg. sentex_username for
would be just bitbucket)
Then go
to
the following web address: https://ssl3.sentex.ca/horde/ to login to Horde
(IMP) webmail.
2.
Configure
SpamAssassin:
Once
logged into Horde, enter the SpamAssassin management area by clicking on
this link - SpamAssassin.
You
can also enter
the SpamAssasin management area by clicking on the SpamAssasin Icon located
near the bottom of the main screen.
Once you have entered the SpamAssasin management area, specify the general
SpamAssasin options as shown in the following screenshot.
Once
you have modified the settings accordingly, click the 'Save Changes' button.
3.
Enable the Sentex SPAM Filtering:
Then click Enable/Disable icon at the top left of the screen.
Then select Enable spam tagging. For now, please leave spam flushing disabled. Type your password and click submit.
SpamAssasin
is now configured for SPAM FILTERING!
In
the next step we will tell your email client how to filter out the SPAM.
4.
Sentex SPAM Blocking (flushing):
Once you feel that the Sentex SPAM filtering (tagging) works well (ie. email does not get accidentally tagged as SPAM).
You should then enable SPAM Blocking (flushing).
NOTE: We highly recommend that you use tagging alone for at least a period of six weeks before you enable SPAM flushing.
