Filter Test

The Filter test is used to test the functionality of various filters. PureMessage includes sample spam and virus test messages; you may also test filters with custom messages.

  • Send Spam: Select this option to test filters with sample spam messages.
  • Send a Virus: Select this option to test filters with a sample virus message.
