The
information below is relevent only for versions of ChoiceMail lower than 2.5.
We highly recommend that you upgrade to ChoiceMail 2.5 to gain
the benefit of recent optimizations.
There
are many different ways to use the ChoiceMail One application.
Some people have added their whitelisted users to the system and
completely ignore the unknown senders list unless someone registers.
Others review new senders from time to time, approving them manually
and/or deleting them.
In practice there's actually no need to delete unwanted messages because
ChoiceMail One will quietly delete messages after a few days.
However, in most cases, you should never reject
unknown senders unless you anticipate that you will get ongoing messages
from that same sender. When you reject a sender, you are telling ChoiceMail
to add that sender to your blacklist so that if another message comes
from that sender, ChoiceMail will simply reject it without any notification.
In the case of most (if not all) spam, new messages will not have the
same address as a previous message. Therefore the blacklist is not really
useful in this case. Adding thousands of unknown senders to your
blacklist will simply slow down ChoiceMail One.
If you are experiencing slow performance from ChoiceMail One and you
have a large blacklist, we recommend you delete most of the entries in
that list, keeping perhaps just a few from well-known spam sources that
you wish to permanently block.
ChoiceMail One can take a long time to start up if your junkbox is really
full. We recommend that you configure your junkbox settings so that there are
never more than a few hundred messages in it. If you have thousands of
messages in your junkbox, it could take ChoiceMail 5 to 10 minutes to
process them at startup, during which time it will take almost 100% of
CPU utilization. A future version of ChoiceMail One will address this
deficiency.
