- Probable vs. Definite Spam: The Spam filter will identify messages as Legitimate, Probably Spam, or Definitely Spam. You can configure the thresholds that determine what is considered probable and definite Spam.
- What to Do With Spam?: You can decide what you want to happen to email identified as Spam: delete it or save it to a folder of your choice.
- Disable Spam Filtering: You can choose to turn off Spam filtering altogether.
- White Listing: Support for per-user white lists of senders whose email should not

be considered Spam. Black lists support the black listing of entire domains.
- Exempt Recipients Listing: If you receive email for many different addresses in your
single account and you want email send to particular addresses to be exempt from Spam filtering,
you can make a list of these exempt recipient email addresses. Exempt
recipient lists support the exempting of entire domains.
- Subject Line Tagging: You can choose to have the words "[SPAM]", and "[VIRUS]"
pre-pended to the subject lines of messages so-identified. Depending on your
configuration, this can make it easier for you identify these messages.
- Spam Filter "Why" Reports: For messages determined to be Spam, you can choose to have
reports of why this is the case added to either the header or body of the Spam messages.
This can help you determine, for example, why a message was classified as Spam if it was
actually Legitimate.
- Quarantined Mail Reports: For Spam and Virus messages messages saved to a folder,
you can receive daily emailed reports of what is new in these folders so that you can more easily
identify false positives.
- Do you use POP? If you use POP, you can have SPAM saved to your INBOX and
use special headers in these messages to sort them in your email client as they
are downloaded.
- Do you use IMAP or WebMail? If you use IMAP or WebMail, you can have SPAM
saved to a separate folder so that you can review it at your leisure and so that it
does not interfere with the legitimate email in your INBOX.

Listen to Our Clients: "I wanted to take time to thank you for the exceptional email services you folks at LuxSci provide. I've been on the email scene since 1997, and since that time I've used countless free email accounts from companies such as Yahoo and Hotmail. Those free accounts worked in the beginning, but these days every SPAMMER and their brothers are targeting their users. Frankly I'm tired of having to weed through garbage when I check my email. Since I signed up with Luxsci back in the spring I haven't had a single piece of junk mail come through my mailbox. Between the SPAM filtering, white listing, black listing, and other tools that came with my account, nothing has gotten through that I didn't want. In addition to great email services, the support has been terrific as well. The few times I've needed assistance, I was very pleased with the response time. Thanks for providing such a great service!" Jeff Groendyke, Covington, KY
