Green House Data Business Class Email Anti-Spam Customization

Green House Data Business Class Email includes anti-spam and anti-virus protection. Our team

manages infrastructure, keeping it up to date and managing the configuration settings. They can

work with you to address any specific requirements you might have for protecting your email and for

what is spam. This document informs you about what information our team can change for you.

Whitelists Whitelists allow specified mail to bypass our filters. You can provide us your own whitelist of

addresses, domains and IPs you wish to have delivered to your mailboxes.

If you send us a whitelist, the list must contain a listing of one IP address or address group,

domain or email address per line.

Anti-spam settings

We can configure the ability to change how spam emails are handled for your company/domain.

This can be done both for your whole company and also for specific mailboxes

Quarantine the message (Green House Data default): This will allow you to store the

messages on the server. You may also send digest messages to the end user for any spam

that they receive, or you can simply leave it on the server for a specified number of days to

sort through if any user notices missing mail.

Add "X-MailFoundry: Spam" header: The destination server or end user’s email client can

then filter this out.

Redirect spam messages to an e-mail address: This will allow you to maintain a repository

of all the caught spam in one user's email account. This may be useful if you want to sort

through the spam.

Tag the subject line: This will allow the end users to quickly see that a message has been

tagged as spam. This can also be easily filtered out by either the destination server or the

end user's email client.

Delete the spam messages.

Quarantine Settings

Quarantine the message. This will allow you to store the messages on the server. You may also send

digest messages to the end user for any spam that they receive, or you can simply leave it on the

server for a specified number of days to sort through if any user notices missing mail. Messages will

be retained in the quarantine for 7 days before being deleted. If messages have been quarantined

12


by our system, we can configure the various settings for how the end user is notified of messages

that are being held.

Digest messages come in three flavors:

Delta (Green House Data default): This digest will only list new messages that have been

quarantined since the user last received a digest message.

Sync with default system behavior: This will essentially remove any existing overrides that may

have been in place for a particular domain or user and sync with whatever is in place for the

system.

Do not send the Digest: The user will not receive a digest message, but the mail will stay on the

server for the administrator to search through and release if necessary.

Full Digest: This digest will list all messages that are currently quarantined for a user.

If you wish to include some additional instructions for the users to follow, we can input your text

into the custom message portion. This will be included at the top of every digest message.

Digest frequency:

By default, we can configure the system to send a daily digest when they have messages

identified as spam at 8AM Pacific time. Users only get the digest when messages are identified as

spam. We can configure for your company/domain to have these sent hourly, daily (excluding

weekends), daily (including weekends) or weekly.

We can configure specific email addresses to have their own frequency and digest format.

Also available for customization are digest redirects. This allows a particular user to receive the

digest message for another email address. For example, if you have an alias set up for sales that

goes to five end users, you can have one person set up to receive the digest messages for sales

instead of all five of the end users.

Domain Filters

Domain filters are applied at the company/domain level. Custom filters allow our system to

filter on any part of a message including the keywords, subject, to field, from address, sender

address, sender domain, header and the name of the attachment. We can configure the

system to support your corporate policy by blocking certain attachment types or messages from

certain domains from being delivered.

Our team can configure the system to quarantine, reject, and delete redirect to an email

address.

Address filters are applied to specific email addresses of yours. Custom filters allow our system

certain domains from being delivered.

Anti-virus settings

We can configure the way identified viruses will be processed. The various options are as

follows.

Clean and quarantine (Green House Data default): This will allow you to store the

messages on the server. You may also send digest messages to the end user for any spam

that they receive, or you can simply leave it on the server for a specified number of days to

sort through when any user notices missing mail. Only cleaned messages are kept in the

quarantine.

Clean and add "X-MailFoundry Virus" header: This can then be filtered out by either the

destination server or by the end user's email client.

Clean and tag the subject line: This will allow the end users to quickly see that a message

has been tagged as a virus. This can also be easily filtered out either by the destination

server or by the end user's email client. Only cleaned messages will be delivered to the end

user.

Return to sender: This option will return the message to the sender. However, with the

way that many of the viruses spoof the sender’s address, the message will probably be

returned to the wrong user or simply stick around in the outgoing mail queue.

Delete the virus messages. Two additional options include sending notifications. They are:

Notify sender if their message contained a virus: However, since many of the viruses are

spoofing the "From" address, the notification usually is delivered to the wrong user.

Notify user if someone tried to send them a virus: This is useful in case the user needs to

check a certain folder for the cleaned messages. spam profiles.

Honey Pots

Honey Pot addresses are addresses that are no longer valid on your system, or addresses that get

nothing but spam. By putting the address into the list below, the system will automatically forward

Address Filters

14

R0912


all mail bound for that address to our team who will examine the mail and create new spam profiles.

You can give us an address or list of addresses to be used.

Message Footers

Message footers consist of text added to the end of the message. You can provide us the text to be

included. Footers are usually added by client email programs or originating mail servers. The

system can make a best attempt to add one. Some email clients may not reproduce the footer

correctly, in which case they should be disabled and the client’s email program or originating email

server should insert footers instead. Footers can be applied based on the various destinations of the

message:

The Incoming footer is added to messages coming in through our system, destined for local

addresses.

The Outgoing footer is added to messages sent out by our system (if enabled).

The Internal footer is added to messages sent out by our system and destined for a local

address, where both the source and the recipient domains are both handled by our system.

Changes to the footers may take up to 5 minutes to be recognized by the SMTP server.
