How ACM Works

Your Earlier Setup :

Email from Yahoo : --------------- MX ---------------> mx.yourserver.com

Which means that an email coming from outside (Lets say Yahoo) will come directly to your MX servers.

After Implementation of ACM

Email from Yahoo : ------------ MX -----------> Acme Servers (Spam & virus check) --------------- RELAY TO ---------------> mx.yourserver.com

Which means that the mail coming from yahoo will first come to Acme Servers, will be scanned for virus and spams and then relayed to your earlier MX servers. For this the only change we need to implement is the shift in MX pointers. Your earlier MX servers will keep on functioning in the same way.

Actions on Spam Messages

In the intial setup of ACM we have configured the system for yourdomain.com such that the Spam messages will be detected and tagged as {SPAM ?} and then delivered to the end user. This is just for initial settings.

The available actions on spam mails are as follows

1) Deliver (The emails are tagged as {SPAM ?} and delivered to the end user.
2) Forward  (Messages considered as spam are forwarded to some other email account and end user does not recieve the mail).
3) Deliver and Forward (The messages are forwarded to the other email account as well as delivered to the end user).
4) Delete (The spam messages are deleted and no one recieves the emails).
