NOTE
Log files may become very large. GFI MailEssentials enables log rotation, where new log files are

7.3 Sorting anti-spam filters by priority
In GFI MailEssentials, the order in which the anti-spam checks are applied to inbound messages can be
customized.
NOTE
The order of all available filters can be customized except for the New Senders filter,
which is always automatically set to the lowest priority. This is due to its dependency on
the results of the Whitelist checks and the other anti-spam filters.
Default priority is recommended in most situations.
1. Go to Anti-Spam > Filter Priority.
