Bypass Threshold

Bypass threshold is a score in Xeams that makes the rules engine skip the remaining filters once the score goes below this amount. For example, if you white list a sender by giving a -5001 score, Xeams will not run any more filters after hitting this rule. This is done by design to give a higher weight to rules having a negative score.

The default value of the bypass filter is set to -5000. Therefore, once the score goes below -5000, every other filter will be skipped and a message will be assigned a GOOD category.

Changing the default value

• Stop Xeams
• Modify $INSTALL_DIR\config\Profile_1.xml file.
• Search for a line that reads:
  

      <bypassThreashold>-5000</bypassThreashold>
  

• Change the value to what you desire.
• Save the file.
• If you have more than one profile, repeat the process for every profile. Additional profiles will have file names like Profile_101.xml, Profile_102.xml and so on.
• Restart Xeams.

Once done, Xeams will not skip filtering unless the score goes below the set value.
