Forwarding Spam Messages (Example)

To forward spam messages, enter an e-mail address in the form of user@domain.com . If the address is located on the same domain, you can omit the domain and only enter the User ID.

Important: If you have chosen the Forward To option, be aware of the Default Max Mailbox Size limit set in the Domain Properties. If you receive a large quantity of spam, this limit could be exceeded for the mailbox that stores spam. Make sure that you delete messages from this mailbox on a regular basis. You may also want to set up a Full Mailbox Notify Address for e-mail to be sent to when a mailbox is almost full. For more information, see Setting Domain Properties.

If you want the spam to be sent to a mailbox, place a hyphen between the user and sub-mailbox name, such as root- spam@domain.com. If the account is located on the same mail domain, you can omit the domain and enter root-spam.

Important: If you enter an address with a sub-mailbox that does not exist, the sub-mailbox is created only if Create is selected in the Sub-Mailbox Creation options of the Domain Properties. For more information, see Setting Domain Properties.
