4. Clustering

Clustering is a great tool if you have more than one Xeams server. This allows administrators to run multiple instances of Xeams in a Master and Slave configuration. Changes made on the Master server can automatically be recreated on the slave. Clustering also enables the admin and users to access emails from one central location.

5. Temporary Email Addresses

Xeams allows the use of temporary email addresses to subscribe to different websites and track who gets a hold of your email address.These temporary email addresses are created by adding a tag to your already existing address. This tag is any string following the plus (+) sign.

Ex. sallysmith+sample@yourdomain.com. Any email sent to this address will be delivered to the original email address, sallysmith@yourdomain.com.

You can also specify an expiration date to these temporary email addresses. This can be done by including the date to a tag in the format of: yyymmdd.

Ex. sallysmith+20161231@yourdomain.com. Any emails sent to this address will be delivered to the original email address, sallysmith@yourdomain.com.

This allows you, the user to get a better understanding how Xeams spam filter operates.

To access reasoning, click on the "Message Repository" tab in the Admin Console then click on "View all Junk". If you hover over a given number in the score column, a summary will be given for the email you have selected of the reasoning it was classified as spam.
