I did, but it still lets spam through and blocks important e-mails, lol

If I could find some sort of language-specific filtering, that would probably take care of it

Does it not have blacklist filtering or RBL lookup?

Looks it only has whitelisting.

Is there an upgrade path to 6.x? That has more spam killing tools

install a firewall program or an antivirus that has this functionality.
I recommend BitDefender Total Security 2010

I run on SmarterMail Enterprise 5.5 too..you see the perplexing thing is how'd they get the contact to begin with? :-) But I know they're like parasites once they get in they don't stop AND they multiply

Hey man,

So I had my hosting company install SmarterMail v6.7. I logged into it today and it looks like the install is already done.


But Im still confused on how to use the spam settings in there, lots of confusing stuff

I think it's from all kinds of companies. The only constant is that it's all in the french language
