After completing the security verification for mail, RiskFilter will forward it to the e-mail server according to 
the route configuration. To protect e-mail systems from the impact of heavy traffic, Traffic Control is 
designed to limit the mail traffic sent to the e-mail system. Use the Traffic Control screen to do this.

                                

The Traffic Control screen

To set up traffic control:

1

Select Send Settings > Traffic Control from the System Settings tab.

2

In the Maximum number of messages relayed to an internal e-mail server field, enter the 
maximum number of messages that you want to be relayed to your internal e-mail server per hour. 
This should be set up according to the incoming traffic setting of your e-mail server.

3

Click Submit to put the new settings into effect or Reset if you want to cancel the modifications made 
to the current settings.

If a delivery attempt fails because the e-mail server reports a receiving error, RiskFilter places the 
message into the Deferred Messages queue. It then tries to deliver the message again according to 
specified rules. You can specify how long RiskFilter continues to make delivery attempts, the maximum 
retry period and the relevant actions to take after delivery has failed. Undeliverable messages are returned 
to the original sender or, if this cannot be done, a message is sent to the specified postmaster account. 
This is.accompanied by a copy of the original message. Use the Advanced Delivery screen to configure 
delivery attempts.

                                

The Advanced Delivery screen

To configure Advanced Delivery:

1

Select Send Settings > Advanced Delivery from the System Settings tab.
