Execute SpamGuard Command

SPAM

If you already have a file with spam e-mails, choose SPAM from the drop down menu, enter the filename to the right, and then click on Save Settings. This will teach SpamGuard which e-mails it should consider as Spam.

GOOD

If you have a file with good e-mails, choose GOOD from the drop down menu, enter the filename to the right, and then click on Save Settings. This will teach SpamGuard which e-mails it should consider as non-spam.

REMOVE

If SpamGuard is marking a good e-mail as spam, then create a file with that good e-mail, choose REMOVE from the drop down menu, enter the filename to the right, and then click on Save Settings. This will remove that e-mail from the database of e-mails that SpamGuard considers to be spam. Spam mails will be stored to file. All e-mails the program marks as spam will be stored in the file listed here

You can also indicate the directories that these files will be placed in. The directories and filename must be made up of alphabetic characters, the underscore, or the dash. No other special character can be used, e.g., the period. Once you make the change, click on Save Settings. Valid Examples: spam_mail, mail/spam-mail. Invalid Examples: domain-mail/spam_mail.txt, mail/spam.txt.

Note: You can store e-mails that the program has determined to be spam to your -mail directory, and then create a user in your mail manager that matches the name of the spam mails' file. This will allow you to retrieve an e-mail that you know is not spam. To empty the contents of the file, click the Empty link.
