Language Detection

Determines the language of the email body text and configurable to block certain languages. GFI MailEssentials takes a portion of the email body message and compares it to an in-built language engine.

Configure the Language Detection filter to block certain languages or allow only some language.

NOTE

The Language Detection filter is different than the Header Checking - Language filter since it analyzes the language of the email body text. The Header Checking analyzes the encoding (character set) of the email header. Results of the Language Detection filtering engine are generally more reliable.

The Language Detection filter is NOT enabled by default on installation.
