==Creating Email Filters==

===Logging In===

#Point your web browser to http://mail.xmission.com/filters/
#In the space below Login:, enter your XMission username.
#In the space below Password:, enter your XMission password.
#Click on OK.

===Creating a New Email Filter===

#Click on Show detailed filter rules.
#Click New Rule.
#Choose the header you would like to filter from the first drop-down menu. (e.g.: If you're filtering all email from hotmail.com, choose From:.)
#Choose how you would like to filter that header from he next drop-down menu. (Using the above example, choose contains:.)
#In the next blank, fill in the pattern you are trying to match. (Using the above example, type "hotmail.com" in the space provided.)
#In that last drop-down menu, choose what you would like to do with the filtered email.*

<div class="messagebox metadata">'''Note''': If you choose "delete the message", ALL messages filtered by that rule will be deleted and irrecoverable. We, therefore, recommend that you test out a filter for a week or more by selecting Save the message in my "Spam" mail file.. Once you're certain your filter is safe and effective, you may choose to simply delete email handled by some filters.</div>

==Specific Filter Examples==

===Filtering all email not directly addressed to username@xmission.com:*===

#Click on New Rule.
#In the first drop-down menu, choose To:.
#In the second drop-down menu, choose does not contain:.
#In the blank provided, enter your email address. (e.g.: "username@xmission.com")
#Select Save the message in my "Spam" mail file. from the last drop-down menu.

The completed filter should read:
<pre>If the To Header Does Not Contain "username@xmission.com" then Save this message in "Spam" mail file.</pre>
<div class="messagebox metadata">'''Note''': XMission highly recommends you use this filter, since most spam will have your email address masked or will be addressed to a list.</div>

===Filtering all email from domain.com:===

#Click on New Rule.
#In the first drop-down menu, choose From:.
#In the second drop-down menu, choose contains:.
#In the blank provided, enter the domain name you're filtering. (e.g.: "domain.com")
#Select Save the message in my "Spam" mail file. from the last drop-down menu.

The completed filter should read:
<pre>If the From Header Contains "domain.com" then Save this message in "Spam" mail file.</pre>

===Filtering email with SpamAssassin scores===

#Click on New Rule.
#In the first drop-down menu, choose X-Spam-Level:.
#In the second drop-down menu, choose contains:.
#In the blank provided, enter the score you would like to filter at, shown with asterisks. (E.g.: I want to filter anything over 10, so I'd enter **********.)
#Select Save the message in my "Spam" mail file. from the last drop-down menu.

The completed filter should read:
<pre>If the X-Spam-Level Header Contains "**********" then Save this message in "Spam" mail file.</pre>

===Filtering email with SpamAssassin's default positive score (8)===

#Click on New Rule.
#In the first drop-down menu, choose X-Spam-Flag:.
#In the second drop-down menu, choose exists at all.
#In the blank provided, enter nothing.
#Select Save the message in my "Spam" mail file. from the last drop-down menu.

The completed filter should read:
<pre>If the X-Spam-Flag Header Exists at all then Save this message in "Spam" mail file.</pre>
