San Bruno, CA | spam filtering at Raw Bandwidth is with full disclosure The spam filtering you're referring to is spamassassin. On our system, it defaults to off and is only turned on when a customer goes to the control panel and turns it on. It was a very conscious decision of ours not to apply RBLs, blacklists, and other filtering to customer's incoming email without their full knowledge and consent. We do some greylisting system wide, only when keyed off some RBLs that suggest machines that shouldn't be sending email direct to us; greylisting has an extremely low risk of false positives, generally only delays some email.
The filtered mail folder for spamassassin isn't in a hidden file, it's described on the control panel page and is in the same directory under users' home directories that other IMAP folders live in. The control panel also provides the option to have email tagged and delivered to the inbox (which is not subject to disk quota) so you can download and filter based on the tag on the desktop client, rather than put it into the folder on the server. So you may not have remembered about the filtered mail folder, but it would have been disclosed to you when you enabled the filters. |
