Testing with a Full Domain
This scenario describes testing with a full, live domain, which allows you to analyze
filtering effectiveness and system throughput. As in the previous scenario, all messages are
delivered, so mail traffic is not disrupted.
- Server Setup: Use a live server to relay live traffic to the full mail domain.
- Message Handling: Modify the default policy script so the subject line of the
original message is not altered. See "Message Handling Options" in the Quick Reference
Guide for more information. By default, messages with a spam probability over 50% are copied
to the quarantine.
- User Feedback: Analyze the quarantined messages to determine common characteristics
that can be addressed through tuning.
- Tuning: Tune by using whitelists and blacklists to exempt messages from tests and
reduce false positives.
