    Hello,
    What about the confidence degree of Header Analysis (also called Deepheader Analysis)? The default value is 95.0, and statisticaly on dozen of emails, all the values are always within range 95,03- 95,09. What is really checked in headers ? In our organization (government – 5000 users) we have lots of SPAM catched but also lots of false positive catched by this feature…

      Unfortunately the defaults are just “broad strokes”. A lot of tweaking is necessary to get things to where you are in your organization’s happy range of false positives vs missed spam.

    Hello,
    Do we have some addtional info regarding heuristic filter ? It is quite tricky to proceed with fine tuning with this light description. In my case, default settings just catch anything (around 10 emails out of 150’000… Now I have decreased threshold value to 3.0 and increased percentage of rules to 50% and now it catches around 200 emails out of 750’000 … still no false-positive.

    Hello,

    Is there a way to clear only one entry in the LDAP cache ? Since we have over 10’000 users and that there are multiple routers and FW between the SMTP Gateway and the LDAP servers we do not want to clear the whole cache.
