The control panel offers two spam filter options - the Sendmail Reject List and Spam Filtering service - that vary in their approach and flexibility in managing spam.
Note: You do not have to perform any special configuration tasks in the control panel to enable spam filtering capability for your site users. The service is automatically available to your users when enabled for the site by your service provider.
While the Sendmail Reject List enables effortless global control on relay of spam email messages to site users, the Spam Filtering service allows for discretionary management of spam by the users themselves.
Email sources that you identify as illegitimate can be blocked from being delivered to any user of the site.
