How does EPCS do spam filtering?
SpamAssassin runs on the e-mail server and scans messages. Messages flagged as spam can be placed in the mailbox or automatically deleted. Virtually all customers choose to delete the message at the server. A sending e-mail address can optionally be white listed, which exempts the address from spam filtering. A sending e-mail address can also be blacklisted, which means that all e-mail from this address is flagged as spam. Blacklisting is not an effective means to block spammers because spammers rarely uses the same e-mail address every time.
