Zone Alarm E-mail Protection Tab Main Page



Customizing Inbound MailSafe Protection

All of the attachment types supported by Inbound MailSafe protection are set to quarantine by default. You can customize Inbound MailSafe protection by changing setting of attachment types to Allow, or by adding new attachment types.

The ability to customize Inbound MailSafe protection settings is not available in Zone Alarm.

  • Viewing the attachments list
  • Changing the quarantine setting for an attachment type
  • Opening a quarantined attachment

Customizing Outbound MailSafe protection

By default, an Outbound MailSafe protection alert is displayed when your e-mail application attempts to send more than five e-mail messages within two seconds, or if an e-mail message has more than fifty recipients. You can customize these settings to extend the time interval, increase the number of messages and recipients allowed, or specify the e-mail addresses that are allowed to send e-mail from your computer.

Junk E-mail Filter



The Junk E-mail Filter is available in Zone Alarm Security Suite. Use the junk e-mail filter to prevent unsolicited junk e-mail (commonly referred to as spam) from cluttering your Inbox. The Junk E-mail filter supports Microsoft Outlook and Outlook Express (both referred to in this document simply as "Outlook").

During installation, Zone Labs security software adds the junk e-mail filter toolbar to your Outlook e-mail program's toolbar.

Junk E-mail Filter Toolbar

NOTE:If you have installed Zone Labs security software but the junk e-mail filter toolbar does not appear in your Outlook toolbar, right-click in your Outlook toolbar and choose Zone Alarm Outlook Add In.

The junk e-mail filter also adds three special folders to your Outlook folder list: Zone Alarm Challenged Mail, Zone Alarm Junk Mail, and Zone Alarm Fraudulent Mail. When Zone Labs security software identifies an e-mail message as junk, fraudulent, or challenged, it puts the message in one of these folders. If you are using Outlook to access Hotmail, you must use the junk e-mail filter's spam blocking features and special folders instead of Hotmail's.
