How the Stop-Spam Filter Works Print

When someone sends an email to your domain, the message first passes through the Central VA Net Stop-Spam Filter, where it’s analyzed and categorized.

Process Flow:

1. The message is sent to your domain (e.g., user@yourdomain.com).

2. It first routes through the Stop-Spam servers.

3. The message is scanned for:

   • Spam patterns and sender reputation

   • Viruses and dangerous attachments

   • SPF, DKIM, and DNS blacklist checks

4. If clean → it’s delivered to your mail server.

5. If suspicious → it’s quarantined for review.
