Default settings for spam tolerance and scoring sensitivity

Description

Default Spam Tolerance and Scoring Sensitivity settings are preconfigured on the Filtering tab at the Reseller, Customer, Domain, and User sections of the Mailprotector Console. In most cases, these defaults work very well and should be used for the first two weeks to 30 days to establish a domain's mail flow baseline. If adjustments are needed, it is best practice to consider applying the changes to a user before a group or entire domain.

Email patterns vary between organizations and industries. Mailprotector's default settings work very well in most cases, and adjustments for outlying situations should be done with care. Please contact the Partner Success team with questions.
