How spam filtering works
SpamExperts sits between the wider internet and your destination email server. The domain's mail-routing records direct incoming messages to the filtering layer first.
A sender addresses a message to a mailbox on the protected domain, such as name@yourbusiness.com.
The domain's MX records direct incoming email to the SpamExperts filtering service before it reaches the destination mail server.
The filtering platform evaluates incoming mail for spam, phishing, malware and other unwanted or suspicious characteristics.
Messages accepted by the filtering service are forwarded to the destination mail system that hosts the domain's mailboxes.
Messages classified as unwanted can be rejected, quarantined or handled according to the SpamExperts configuration and the controls available to the account.
When the destination server is unavailable
Incoming Filtering includes email-continuity behaviour that can hold incoming mail when the destination server is temporarily unavailable and retry delivery according to the service. This is not a guarantee of unlimited storage or uninterrupted mailbox access.
The destination must be able to receive approved mail forwarded by SpamExperts.
External DNS records must be updated through the provider that controls the domain.
MarketConnect can save existing MX records and apply SpamExperts filtering records for supported cPanel accounts.
Quarantine & message control
Spam filtering sometimes requires review. Quarantine and message controls provide a place to inspect held mail and manage filtering decisions rather than treating every classification as irreversible.
Use the SpamExperts interface to review messages available in quarantine according to your account permissions.
Where the message and account controls allow it, release a legitimate message that was held by the filtering system.
Use the available sender, recipient or filtering controls to refine how known mail sources should be handled.
Use available logs and reporting to understand how incoming mail has been classified and handled.
