HORDE: how to modify E-MAIL SPAM FILTER

Except for some “ old ” users, all the incoming mail tagged as [Maybe SPAM] are automatically moved in the folder Spam (depending on your spam level value).
The users who use POP can access to Spam folder using webmail service ONLY.

Each incoming mail is scanned by our anti-spam filter, that assigns it a spam score value.
If an e-mail is suspect, the anti-spam program tags it as “ [Maybe SPAM] ” and assigns to it a spam score value starting from 3.5.
Depending on your Spam level set using Horde or Roundcube (default 5), the incoming mails will be delivered into the INBOX or Spam folder.
For example using default settings (Spam level 5):

• an e-mail with spam score value “ 5 ” will be delivered into the Spam folder, but it is tagged as “ [Maybe SPAM] ” because its value is > of 3.4;
• an e-mail with spam score value “ 4 ” will be delivered into the INBOX folder, but it is tagged as “ [Maybe SPAM] ” because its value is > of 3.4;
• an e-mail with spam score value “ 3 ” will be delivered into the INBOX folder.
  

If you set “ 1 ” as your Spam level a lot of your incoming mails will be delivered into the Spam folder (LICIT E-MAILS TOO!!!!).
If you set “ 9 ” as your Spam level a lot of your incoming mail will be delivered into the INBOX folder (SPAM MAILS TOO).
So if you wish to change your spam level, choose carefully.

You have to check and empty the content of the Spam folder from time to time.
