How do I use the SpamPatrol service?
That depends on the type of mail service you have. For SMTP; after you have registered for the service you will need to change the MX record on your Internet domain name to point to smtp.spampatrol.co.uk when a message is received for your domain name it will go through the SpamPatrol filter and then be delivered to your original mail gateway. For POP3; SpamPatrol will pull the messages from your existing mailbox and leave the washed email in a SpamPatrol secure mailbox. You then simply change your POP3 settings on your email client to receive your messages from pop.spampatrol.co.uk instead of your Internet Service Provider. • Are Virus Hoax emails detected by SpamPatrol Although hoax virus email doesn’t contain a real virus, an anti-virus gateway will not spot it. SpamPatrol’s analysis recognises it as spam, and therefore blocks these type of messages.
