;<\/p>\nThis explains how to setup Spam filtering for thunderbird. Hypersurf Internet “tags” all email that come in with a spam score. This spam score can then be used to filter unwanted emails that are most likely spam.<\/p>\n
Here is what you do. Open up thunderbird, and go to Tools\/Message filters.<\/p>\n
;<\/p>\n
Now a new screen should come up that looks like this. Click the “New” button.<\/p>\n
![\"New](\"http:\/\/www.accesscom.com\/images\/filter-2.gif\" "\\"New")
;<\/p>\n
Once there,\u00a0 click “Customize”. A box should open up like this.<\/p>\n
![\"Create](\"http:\/\/www.accesscom.com\/images\/filter-3.gif\" "\\"Create")
;<\/p>\n
A box should open up, like the one below. Then type\u00a0 “X-Spam-Score” in the New message header\u00a0 box; click the Add button and then OK.<\/p>\n
![\"Custom](\"http:\/\/www.accesscom.com\/images\/customheader.gif\" "\\"Custom")
;<\/p>\n
Now in the left drop down, look for “X-Spam_Score”, that you just created.<\/p>\n
![\"Custom](\"http:\/\/www.accesscom.com\/images\/filter-4.gif\" "\\"Custom")
;<\/p>\n
The middle dropdown should say contains.<\/p>\n
The right drop down should say “*****”<\/p>\n
The number of stars you give determines how aggressive the filter is.<\/p>\n
2 aggressive, may catch alot of\u00a0 spam, and maybe some real messages.<\/p>\n
5 is middle of the road, catch most spam.<\/p>\n
10 means may not catch much, probably wont catch real messages<\/p>\n
Then tell it what to do if it finds spam. I tell it to move to a folder. That way I can review later, if I choose.<\/p>\n
Once that is done click ok, and your filter should start catching spam.<\/p>\n
