You can configure the Anti-Spam settings affecting detection of a special message property - its spam rating. This special message property is assigned to messages based on their scan results. By default, Anti-Spam protection applies the low severity level. Depending on the severity level and the spam rating assigned after a scan, a message can be tagged as Spam or Probable spam.
Anti-Spam settings allow you to configure the application to increase the spam rating of a message based on the analysis of its sender's email address and message subject, as well as when the message is written in a foreign language.

- Perform the following steps in the Management Console tree:
- To configure the application to increase the spam rating of messages for an unassigned Security Server, maximize the node of the relevant Security Server
- To configure the application to increase the spam rating of messages for Security Servers belonging to a profile, maximize the Profiles node and inside it maximize the node of the profile for whose Security Servers you want to configure the application to increase the spam rating of messages.
- Select the Server protection node.
- In the workspace, on the Protection for the Transport Hub role tab, expand the Spam rating detection settings configuration section.
- In the Increase spam rating if configuration section, select the check boxes for the following settings as necessary:
- "To" field contains no addresses. The spam rating of a message will be increased if its "To" field is empty.
- Sender's address contains numbers. The spam rating of a message will be increased if the address of its sender contains digits.
- Sender's address in the message body does not contain the domain part. The spam rating of a message will be increased if the address of its sender contains no domain name.
