WHAT IS "X-IMAIL-SPAM-CONNECTION"?

Our mail server software now includes a more robust Anti-Spam component. The software subscribes to several reputable "blacklists" to block email from known spammers. It also uses several rules to determine "suspect" SPAM and marks those emails with the string "X-IMail-SPAM-Connection". As a result, you may also see some legitimate email marked as SPAM. In order to determine the reason why a specific email is flagged as SPAM, please use Outlook to view the email and click on the View->Options menu item in Outlook when you are reading the email in question. Look through the box that says "Internet Headers" and search for a line that starts with the string "X-IMAIL-SPAM-".

Here is a list of the most common SPAM headers:

• X-IMAIL-SPAM-DNSBL
  Filters mail servers that have been black listed by the SPAM fighting community
• X-IMAIL-SPAM-URL-DBL
  Filters messages that contain at least 1 of the URL's in the URL Blacklist.
• X-IMAIL-SPAM-PHRASE
  Filters messages that contain at least 1 complete phrase in the Phrase Blacklist.
• X-IMAIL-SPAM-STATISTICS
