SonicWALL Email Security 7.2 User Guide | 13

 

Note: To use your companies default settings, use the Adhere to Corporate/Group Defaults 
checkbox. If your IT department enforces these settings, the checkbox is dimmed; you cannot 
change blocking levels. 

You can adjust the level of influence community input has on organization spam blocking, produced 
by the Self-Monitoring Active Response Team (SMART) network. Updates are provided to your 
gateway server at defined intervals.

To adjust your collaborative settings, click one of the radio buttons from Mild (1) to Strong (5).  
A setting of 5 means that you are comfortable with the collective experience of the SonicWALL user 
community. A setting of 1 or 2 indicates that you are skeptical of the collective experience and want 
to judge more email for yourself. 

This aggressiveness setting determines how likely an email message is to be identified as junk 
email. Selecting a stronger setting makes SonicWALL Gateway more likely to mark a message as 
spam. 

You can determine how aggressively to block particular types of spam, including sexual content, 
offensive language, get rich quick schemes, gambling, and advertisements. 

For each of the spam flavors:

z
