Anti-Spam Functionality:

  In order to protect you from spam you can define some rules to detect spam. Those mails that are detected as spam are moved to the "Undesired"-folder (subfolder of trash).

  Defining rules: Every rule is written in one line.

  - If you want to block a special sender type: name@domain

  - To block a whole domain type this: %@domain

  - Some spammers are using many different subdomains, to block all mails from "domain", "www.domain", "dns.domain", etc. use: %domain

Always recache E-mails (slower):

  Parsing emails can take a long time (especially for html-newsletters with many attached inline images). To parse big mails it may be neccessary to increase "memory_limit" in your php.ini (default is 8M = 8 MByte).

  Therefore all emails are cached. In the first step of the caching-process all attachments are extracted from the mail and stored at cache/attachments (for normal attachments) or at cache/img (for images).

  In the second step the rest of the mail is filtered by some criteria (see next two options for this) and stored at cache/readmessage.
