Step 7 (optional): Spam settings for the email alias can be set as well, by clicking on the Spam tab. You can either choose to have the email alias use its Domain's spam settings (the default) or define settings for the email alias itself, by unchecking the Use domain spam settings checkbox. The threshold value is the spam score that must be exceeded before the Spam Action is performed; the more likely an email is to be spam, the higher its spam score. Setting the Threshold value higher means less email will be marked as spam.

Any email deemed to be spam, that is going to leave our network, will be deleted.

If you want to continue adding email aliases, uncheck the Close dialog box after adding checkbox before clicking Add. You can then repeat steps 6 through 8 to add additional email aliases.

If you decide you do not want to add the email alias, click the Cancel button.
