We will be highlighting important and most-used sections in this guide:
Log search
In this subsection the user can search the logs for a specific incoming e-mail message based on different criteria like the name, the host and the IP of the sender, the name of the recipient, a chosen data range and more.
Spam quarantine
In the Spam quarantine area all the suspicious messages associated with the current domain are stored. It contains the messages that are permanently blocked by the anti-spam system. The messages' search is based on the Subject, Sender or Recipient values. The messages can be deleted or released. If they are released they will appear in the recipient's mail box. The cluster will be trained automatically which messages are legitimate and will release similar ones in the future.
The suspicious messages that are temporary rejected are not included in the quarantine system. Their delivery will be automatically retried by the sending servers.
Delivery queue
Here the client can find a list with the messages in the delivery queue associated with the corresponding e-mail accounts. The client can see the reason for the messages to stay in the queue and can try to manually force their delivery.
Domain settings
Here the clients can define the maximum number of bounces per the domain, turn on and off the logging for invalid recipients, define contact details for the domain and set the accessible and inaccessible logging days.
Domain statistics
This function lists statistics for the domain for a chosen time frame.
Filter settings
The filter settings allow to enable or disable the mail quarantine. If disabled the messages recognized as suspicious will not be kept on the mail cluster but will be delivered in the mail accounts.
