I have received an email with [Spam123.net] or [Virus123.net] in the subject line. What does this mean?
[Spam123.net] and [Virus123.net] are our new SPAM and VIRUS filters. They intercepted an email that was sent to your hosted website and was suspected of being SPAM or containing a VIRUS. One of the filters intercepted the message and forwarded it to you with the appropriate tag in the subject line.How will I know that [Spam123.net] and [Virus123.net] are working?
Our philosophy regarding SPAM and VIRUS is that if it looks like a duck, and if it walks like a duck, it probably is a duck. That is why [Spam123.net] or [Virus123.net] will alert you every time it suspects that an email could be SPAM or infected with a VIRUS. When you receive these emails, their subjects will begin with a [Spam123.net] or a [Virus123.net] tag. This tag will serve as your warning and will help you to filter and sort these emails.If you think that an email is SPAM or infected with a VIRUS, why send it to me? Why not just delete it right away?
Sometimes even legitimate email can appear to be SPAM or to be infected. Sending you the filtered emails gives you the opportunity to make the final decision for yourself - read it or delete it. The subject tags serve as a valuable piece of information alerting you to the type of email you could receive. Moreover, some people would still like to receive all the email that is sent to them regardless of whether or not they are SPAM or infected with a VIRUS.How do I automatically delete or isolate the filtered email I receive?
