Auto check for updates - the spam filtering program will automatically check for updates of the system lists at indicated intervals.

Auto download updates from server - when system lists updates are detected, Spam BLocker will automatically download the updates without additional requests. Enabled only when item Auto check for updates is selected.

Apply updates without user check - when updates are detected and downloaded, the application will be able to apply them on its own. In this case this item has to be enabled. It is available only when items Auto check for updates, Auto download updates from server are enabled.

To prevent bulky log files, you can limit their size by indicating the maximum number of days during which the logs will be stored. As soon as the logs become older, the corresponding records in the log files will be deleted. This is done with the help of item Delete event and mail logs older than X days.

Show warning in case of restricted functionality - the anti spam program will display the warning every time it detects a malfunction in processing mailboxes that is in most cases caused by incorrect settings or absence of Internet connection.
