MailWasher Server collects anonymous statistics about the amount of junk mail and normal mail processed by your system, and the effectiveness of its anti-junk mail techniques. Optionally, MailWasher Server can upload these anonymous statistics to FirstAlert!, the content filtration system managed by Firetrust, which uses these statistics to help improve the product. If you would prefer not to give Firetrust this information, you can disable this statistics upload feature.
MailWasher Server also allows your users to submit junk mail to FirstAlert!. Messages submitted to FirstAlert! are verified as junk mail by a FirstAlert! administrator and then added to the database of known junk mail. MailWasher Server checks each incoming email against the FirstAlert! database in real-time, and eliminates any matches. This ensures that once a message is approved as junk, no other subscriber to FirstAlert! ever receives that same email.
You should encourage your users to submit junk mail, (see How to submit junk mail) as this helps reduce the amount of junk email they and other FirstAlert! users will receive in the future. However, if you would prefer not to allow users to submit messages to FirstAlert!, you can disable this junk mail upload feature.
