SonicOS 7.0 Anti-Spam

How Does the Anti-Spam Service Work?

This describes the Anti-Spam feature, including the SonicWall GRID Network, and how it interacts with SonicOS as a whole. The two points of significant connection with SonicOS are Address and Service Objects. You use the address and service objects to configure the Anti-Spam feature to function smoothly with SonicOS. For example, use the Anti-Spam Service Object to configure NAT policies to archive inbound email as well as sending it through a filter.

The Comprehensive Anti-Spam Service analyzes messages’ headers and contents and uses collaborative GRID printing to block spam email.
