HostDime's inbound Email Filter service does a great job of removing spam and malware before it reaches your inbox, but spammers are crafty. Some spammers may choose to ignore the actual MX records set for your domain and instead try to deliver their poison directly to your local mail server. However, it is possible for you to fight back against this by setting up a filter to automatically delete email that hasn't been scanned by our service.
Click on the tab below that corresponds to the type of server you have to learn how to set this up.

If you've just signed up for our anti-spam service, do not set up destructive filters for 4-12 hours after the MX record changes are made. If you set up this filter to delete mail too soon, legitimate mail may be removed because legitimate mail senders have not yet noticed the change. |
