What is a Spamborder?
A Spamborder is a defined geographic area from which you elect to receive email.
This may be your local city, region or state or even country.

The Spamborders screen lets you easily manage your geographic borders. Spamborders are the geographic areas from which you elect to receive email from.  This may be your local city/cities, region/state or even country.

Why would I want to set a Spamborder?
Most people receive the bulk of their legitimate email from within a defined geographic area. 
By setting a Spamborder you ensure that all emails from within this defined area are automatically received without any need for Verification or CaseKey recognition by 'm...

What happens to emails that originate from outside my borders?
If the email contains a valid Casekey then the message will automatically be delivered no matter where it originates from. If there is no Casekey and the message originates from outside your borders then the sender will be sent a verification request asking them to verify themselves. Once verified their message will be delivered and they will be issued with a valid Casekey that they can use for all future messages they send to you.

How do I add a Spamborder?
You can add a geographic border by right-clicking on the ‘Spamborders’ menu of your account's tree control. 


Next select ‘Add Border’, which will bring up the ‘Add Border’ dialog.

Next selecting the country to add from the ‘Add Border’ dialog, then clicking OK to complete.

Use this dialog to add a country to your geographic borders. All geographic borders are set to subject all emails without a valid CaseKey to the Sender Verification System by default. To allow emails from your part of the world (or any other location that you specify) straight through to your inbox you will need to set a ‘Spamborder’ - which may be a City or Region or even an entire Country – although it is recommended that you narrow your border beyond country level.

How do I set a State or Region Border?
To do this you would do the following: (For this example we have used United States as the country)
- Firstly set United States as your Country Border. (See above)
- Next, you would right click on United States and select Amend Region.

This will bring up the listing of the Regions in the United States and you can select your desired region or regions.
Lastly click OK to finish.

How do I add a City Border?
(For this example we will assume that we have selected California as our region border from the above step.)

Firstly right click on California and select Amend City.

This will bring up the listing of cities within the State of California.
From here you can select the city or cities you want to include in your borders. Once finished Click OK.

I want to select to receive email from a State (say California), but I don't want to receive emails from selected cities (say Los Angeles and San Francisco). Can I do this?
Yes, you can select to receive all emails that originate from within a certain state or region, but exclude emails from selected cities within that state. To do this you would follow the above steps for adding a City border, however instead of clicking OK when you have selected your desired city, click the box next to Exclude from Region Border, then click OK.

This will exclude the selected city ie Los Angeles from the Region border, meaning that all emails from the state of California will be automatically delivered to your inbox, except if they originate from Los Angeles. If they originate from Los Angeles and the sender does not have a valid casekey then the sender will be sent a verification request asking them to verify themselves.

How do I remove a Border?
To remove a border, simply right click on the border you want to remove and select the Remove Border option.
