Spammers Manager

The Spammer Manager, shown at right, controls what unwanted e-mail (spam) is rejected by the Virtual Server. This is simply a list of domains and addresses you create. Any e-mail received from any listed address will be discarded immediately.

For example, let's say that the you do not wish to receive any mail from the e-mail address "sales@we-sell-junk.com" or the domain "we-are-spammers.com". That address and that domain should simply be added to the list of spammers.

To access the spammers manager, select ACE's "Mail" tab and then click on the "Spammers" tab. The spammers manager will come up, displaying a table of all the spammers your Virtual Server is currently blocking.

Adding a spammer

To add a spammer domain or address, click on the button labeled "Add". A small dialog like the one to the right appears. Enter the email address or domain you with to block into the "Spammer Address:" text field. After entering the name of the new spammer, click the "OK" button. The new spammer will be added on the Virtual Server. You can click "Cancel" to back out without altering the spammers list on your Virtual Server.

Modifying a spammer

To modify a spammer, either double-click on the spammer address that is to be modified or select the spammer address and click on the "Modify" button. The dialog shown at right will be brought up. Edit the spammer address or domain, and then click on the "OK" button to update the Virtual Server. Use the "Cancel" button to close the window without making any changes on the Virtual Server.

Removing a spammer

To remove a spammer, select the spammer that is to be removed and click on the "Remove" button. The dialog pictured below appears asking you if you want to delete the selected spammer.
