Our Barracuda spam firewalls will score every message that passes through them based on a number of internal rules and inject message headers into the message based on the outcome/action taken. The specifics of these headers will vary based on the score the message receives. Our domain defaults for scoring are:

  • 0.0 to 3.4: Allow the message
  • 3.5 to 8.9: Tag the message
  • 9.0 and above: Quarantine the message

  • Although the Tag action states that the subject line is modified, we do not modify the subject line at all.
  • Although Block is listed as an action for a score of anything of 10.0 and above, we do not block any messages.
