Changing the value of words in the SurfControl Dictionaries
You can change the value of a word or phrase to fine-tune your filtering. You may want to do this for the
following reasons:
• You find that messages containing a certain word are not being stopped. Increasing the value will mean
that any messages containing this word will need to have fewer occurances before the filter triggers.
• You find that messages containing a certain word are being stopped unnecessarily. Decreasing the
value will allow more occurances of the word within a message before the filter is triggered.
To change the value of words and phrases:
1Select Dictionary Manager > SurfControl Dictionaries from the Policy Manager tab.
2 Click the title of the dictionary that you are interested in.
3 Click the word or phrase that you want to change the value for.
4 In the Add/Edit Phrase screen you will see the settings for the selected word or phrase. Change the
value in the Phrase Value: field.
