Hello,

a

A person can create simple filters (somewhat akin to the ones in outlook
express) in the webmail yes. These apply only for messages processed by the
webmail client though. It's not applied at the server level.

There are no domain-level filters at the moment.

Messages that are seen as SPAM are discarded quietly (no bounce message is
returned).
You can (a) Quarantine the message [default], (b) Delete the messages or (c)
Tag and pass the message. Modusmail 2.0 generates an html-message (sieve &
virus report) that a person can use to release emails.
You can write your own sieve scripts that do generate a bounce though. Ex:
if body :contains ["text/plain","text/html"] "Make Money Fast" {
reject "Go away you Pyramid-Scheme scammer!";
stop;
}
> 4- Does the antivirus engine update the virus signatures automatically
(from
> Norman's site)?
It pulls it from the vircom site (which we pull from the norman site). Each
antivirus update has to be quality-controlled before they are made available
since some updates only change the signature file while some also change the
actually scan application that Norman provides. Changes to signature
files-only are usually benign. We have to check it more closely if there's
a change to the binary (scanner).
