Quarantine Database

SpamFilter ISP

SpamFilter ISP does not require a database to filter emails. A database is however required if you wish to quarantine spam emails that were blocked. The quarantine database allows administrators and end-users to retrieve legitimate emails that were incorrectly detected as spam. When a blocked email is force-delivered, SpamFilter will automatically match the sender with the recipient, so that any future emails from that sender to that recipient will be automatically whitelisted.

More detailed instruction on how to configure a database can be found in the section SpamFilter ISP of this chapter.

 

SpamFilter Enterprise

SpamFilter Enterprise stores all its configuration settings in a database, making the use of a database mandatory. To ensure maximum uptime in cases where the database server is unavailable, SpamFilter Enterprise caches a copy of all its database settings to local text files. Any changes to the settings stored in the database cause SpamFilter to automatically export the changed settings to its relative cache text file within 5 seconds. The database can be updated even if SpamFilter is not running. In this case, when SpamFilter starts up, it will immediately see the updated tables in the database, and will immediately update its cache files automatically.
