====== Global Junk Filtering Setup ======

If your users have been complaining about getting a lot of junk mails in their Inbox, you can set the **Global Junk Control** to filter off high rank emails and keep those junk mails in their Junk folder. You can also set to automatically delete these junk mails after a certain period on the **Junk Expiry** section.

===== Global Junk Mail Control =====
As the Administrator, you can setup Global Junk Filtering setting that applies to all VO users.\\

1. Login as **Avomaster** or **voadmin** account.

2. Go to: **Profile** > **[Admin]**.

4. Select the **"Global Junk mail filtering enable"** option.

5. We recommend to use **"Move to user's Junk mailbox"**, as setting to "Delete immediately" may result in losing some of your genuine emails.

6. On **Sensitivity**, leverage the sensitivity level, where **1** being the most sensitive (filter more emails) and **10** being the least sensitive (filter less emails). System default is **5**.

7. Remember to check **"Sender is in user's Contact list"**, so that email that is recorded in user's Address Book will be exempted from junk filtering.

8. Click **Update** to save the configuration.


===== Junk Expiry =====
If you have chosen the **"Move to user's Junk mailbox"** option at Global Junk Control, then you can configure how long the Junk mails are kept in the Junk folder before they are auto-deleted.

Follow the simple steps below: 

1. Go to **Profile** > **Admin**.

2. Click on **Junk Expiry**.
