How to Turn Off Challenging Senders in MailFrontier Desktop

For almost absolute spam protection, MailFrontier Desktop can "quarantine" all mail not from authorized senders and send them a challenging message.

If they don't reply to the challenge in a timely manner, their mail will be treated as spam, otherwise it is re-delivered to your Inbox. The general assumption is that spammers either use fake addresses or don't reply to the challenge while senders of good mail do.

Still, the challenging message is an annoyance for new senders (and newsletter administrators in particular) and generates a lot of unnecessary email traffic. Fortunately, it's easy to turn off challenging completely in Matador.
