Over the last 24 hours Avvanta's Advanced Spam Protection filters have been updated to the latest version of our filtering engine. Using the last 30 days of filter activity we've also added some refinements to the tests the ASP filters use to determine spam from legitimate email. Translated this means that the filters should be much more effective at identifying spam.
As with any update to the ASP system, we carefully monitor the changes as they are implemented in an effort to avoid false positives. (The accidental tagging of a legitimate, wanted email as spam) We cannot however guarantee that the increased aggressiveness of our filters won't impact your legitimate email. ASP users should carefully monitor their Trash folders over the next several weeks to make certain that wanted email is not being accidently identified as spam. In addition, you may want to tweak your Discard threshold Up to prevent unrecoverable errors. (A Disard threshold of 10 is the default)
If your Spam Threshold is below the default of 5, you may also want to reset the filters back to the default if you're seeing false positives. Tip: Any email address you add to your Avvantamail Address Book is automatically Whitelisted - email from senders in your address book will never be filtered as spam. |
