WatchGuard Firebox X2500 Offers Multiple Tool Management: Page 4 of 4

Firebox X's SpamScreen uses predefined rules that are very effective in detecting, deleting or tagging spam. I set Firebox's option to tag any e-mail it determined to be spam with subject line "[SPAM]" and then allowed several messages that I had previously identified as spam to come through the filter. It identified all the messages correctly. The spam filter uses a rating system to flag suspected spam that can be modified from the default settings.
