Geo Filter	QUARANTINE	Quarantine, junk, or banner actions on emails from different regions and countries. Policy is triggered based on the country of origin or the envelope-from TLD. Allow rules DO NOT bypass this verdict. To bypass the policy-geo verdict, you must create a custom rule or remove the country from the policy option.
Spam Filtering Level	MEDIUM	This feature increases or reduces the sensitivity of the spam filtering. This can be useful if you require filtering to be more or less restrictive for everyone or for certain mailboxes. Low will quarantine emails with a spam score of 7.5 as “Spam-Likely”. Medium is our default medium setting. This will quarantine emails with a spam score of 6.25. Emails at this score would fall into our "Spam-Likely" category. High will quarantine emails with a spam score of 5.0 as “Spam-Likely”. Medium is the recommended setting.
