The Spam Assessment component scans a pre-loaded set of over 900 spam characteristics and allocates a score based on the likelihood of it being Spam. If the email rates more than a preset threshold, it is flagged up as Spam.

Spam Assessment can delete the offending message before it arrives at the desktop and send a message to the sender to inform them the message has not been delivered, or it can pass it over to the Email Policy mechanism for further analysis.
