• Cache Timeout - When Cache All Addresses or Enable Partial Address Caching are enabled,
addresses of all e-mails passing through RiskFilter are checked against the validation server. E-

mail is sent from a previously validated address within this cache timeout, the e-mail is delivered
without contacting the validation server. However, if another e-mail is sent from this address after
the cache timeout, the server will be contacted again to validate the address. The default is 60
