I was digging around in the client's OWM preferences and noticed message
filtering options:
Limit for repeated messages: 0, 5, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 100 ( 0 means No
check for repeatness )
Filter msgs with email address in bad format: (Filtered: 1)
Filter messages with faked SMTP: (Filtered: 8)
Filter messages with faked From field: (Filtered: 53)
Filter msgs with faked exe content-type:
In each setting, you can see first is a drop-down box and four check boxes.
Interestingly enough, the "Filter messages with faked SMTP: (Filtered: 8)"
included emails from me, sent from Outlook, through Comcast to port 587 on
the server. Why it thought I was faking SMTP is beyond me, so I had to
leave it unchecked. It also meant *some* spam gets in the inbox, but a LOT
if getting caught now.
Plus there are individual filters a user can invoke in OWM, so I need to see
what the latest filter recommendations from the OWM team are. Some are
pretty strict.
