Weighted Word and Phrase Filtering works by looking at all the text that appears in
an E-mail, then giving combinations of words and phrases described in the Rules a positive or negative weight value.
• Phrases associated with good subjects will have negative values.
• phrases associated with bad subjects will have positive values.
The values are added together to
give the E-mail a total weight.
If the total weight equals or exceeds the Weight Threshold set for a Group, then the E-mail is flagged for moderation.
There are four ways you can match words. Using the word can as an example:
1. Exact Match - This will only match the word can by itself.
2. Contains - This will match can, candy, scandal, or pecan.
3. Begins With - This will match can or candy.
4. Ends With - This will match can or pecan.
You can match phrases in the same way. Using the phrase net cam as an example:
1. Exact Match - This will only match the phrase net cam by itself.
2. Contains - This will match net cam, net camera, internet camera, or internet cam.
3. Begins With - This will match net cam or net camera.
4. Ends With - This will match net cam or internet cam.
You can also make rules based on the existance of more than one word or phrase in an E-mail.
For instance, you can give an E-mail one weight value if it just
contains the word breast,
but give it a different weight value if it contains breast and chicken.
Making
these kinds of rules helps eliminate false flagging that may occur for words that have more than one meaning.
