GEE Whiz Anti-SPAM Features

• Uses Spam Assassin-type configurable rules and thresholds (à la UNIX).

• Allows whitelists, blacklists, RBL configuration, etc.• Allows you to configure multiple thresholds

including an "auto-delete" threshold for spam.• Has a "Modify subject and send to user" option.

You can choose to allow end-users to manage their own spam rather than the administrator being required to view, delete, and manage the entire company’s spam.

• A much better way to deal with the possibility that "false positives" will cause important mail to be lost.
