Spam Control Four levels of spam control to fit your specific needs:

  2. Medium - block unwanted email by IP address OR by key words or phrases contained in either the header or text of the email.
  3. High - the preferred choice of Merlin Mail users. Only allow email into your In box if the "from" address is in your address book. Otherwise, send an auto-response to the sender asking them to reply. Normally humans-only will reply - and then you get their original email. Eliminates spam immediately!
