4 – Manual Rules (tab)
Here you can create rules manually and inform the emails of the senders that can be Allowed (accepted) or Prohibited (rejected) by our spam filter.
These are simple rules, which evaluate only the sender of the message.
The sender of an email can be easily forged, so we suggest the use of Spam buttons and Not Spam in the message list, or the Allow button in Emails blocked.
These buttons create more smart rules, evaluating other data message and the sending servers.
When adding new rules, you can inform the full email, or use “*” to symbolize any number of characters and “?” to symbolize a single character
Examples at Prohibited tab:
*@facebookmail.com -> blocks any email sent from domain facebookmail.com
jonhdoe??@hotmail.com -> blocks jonhdoe01@hotmail.com, jonhdoe20@ hotmail.com, jonhdoexx@hotmail.com, etc.
