What do the test results mean?


The test results are displayed as a bar and a list. The list contains the results for each spam filter and (if available) the reason for the results.

 

The most important test result is the one indicating which spam filters are likely to block your e-mails. The reasons for filtering indicated by the individual spam filters are “translated” into a series of readily intelligible categories, such as the following:

 

General mail format: These are properties such as HTML code that do not comply with the applicable standards.
Content filters: This refers to e-mails containing words that are characteristic of spam
and many others.

 

Note: Not all spam filters transmit reasons to the sender indicating why a specific e-mail was classified as spam.
