If I get spam messages in my inbox, I can forward the spam messages using Outlook or any other mail client to ASSP (spam@mydomain.com.) ASSP then adds the spam messages in its corpus which it uses for building the database of spam and non spam words used by bayesian filtering. I am also able to customized the acknowledgement message ASSP sends out to users after it has received the submitted spam message by going to the Email Interface menu.
Clicking the Maillog Tail menu I'm also able to search e-mail transaction records in ASSP making it very easy to read the logs.
ASSP is also able to do some basic virus checking. By going to Attachments & Viruses link I could set the level of checking ASSP will do against file extensions.
Activate URIBL test to increase spam detection by going to URIBL menu. This has proven to be highly effective stopping spam e-mails with random words used to disguised spam links within the message body.
For messages which ASSP tagged as spam I have them CC'd to an e-mail account. Having it done this way I am able to go through the messages in case a legitimate e-mail got caught by mistake. I am then able to forward the e-mail to my user. I can also then add the e-mail address to my whitelist.
Clicking the Info and Stats menu I'm able to check the volume of e-mails ASSP has processed.
