Before you enable spam filtering for email ending with @yourwebaddress.com please read the different options available below.

Tag and Deliver Spam

Email which the spam filter identifies as spam will have **SPAM** added to the beginning of the subject line. The tagged email is then delivered along with your legitimate email when your software downloads new messages.

Some people use this method in conjunction with mail filtering rules in their email software (ex. Outlook Express) to direct any incoming email with **SPAM** in the subject directly to their Deleted Items folder, or a special Spam folder they create.
