Within Teamwork Desk, you can set your own spam rules to ensure that mail from certain senders is always or never marked as spam.

Note: By default, Teamwork Desk uses a spam detection and filtering server. Our system will prioritize the allowed list over the blocked list. Therefore, if you block a domain such as @helpdocs.com but allow a user such as lee@helpdocs.com, emails from lee@helpdocs.com will come through to your site because it is allowed even though the domain of @helpdocs.com is blocked as a whole.

Click your profile icon in the top right of the main navigation bar and select Settings from the dropdown menu.

Note: The site settings are only accessible to administrators of your site.

The characteristics that Desk implements for both lists are as follows:

  • Specific email address (spammers@spam.com)
  • Email domain (spam.com)
  • Subject (Anymore of that spam?)
  • IP address of original sender (127.0.0.1)
  • Match all senders, ensuring that no e-mail is ever automatically marked as spam (*)
