Filter Level
The Filter Level page allows you to set the level of filtering that suits you best. The level you choose should be influenced by such things as the volume of spam that you receive, and the importance of your normal email.
Your Filter Level choices are:
- Basic filtering
- Enable Real-time filtering Real-time filtering allows for a greater chance of detecting an undesirable email.

When this option is selected, the "Realtime Blackhole List Filtering" section is enabled so you can record your preferred server.
