Automatically Purging Spam with a a Score of 100

Good afternoon, We have recently completed the trial period of Pure Message and to be honest we can't believe how good it is, i used to get 100-150 spam messages a day into my mail box and the microsoft exchange would continually blocked/deleted legitimate mail along with lots more spam, Its now down to about 2/3 messages making it through to the mailbox and everything else ending up in the Quarentine Which is absolutely brilliant. (200-300 messages a day) the one thing we have now come up against is end users clearing their own Quarentine each day, it appears that 95%-97% of the spam we get is actually scored at 100 and over the course of the trial month with 25 users trialing the program and over 200,000 spam messages blocked over that month we only had 2 false positives, so we are fairly confident that if we can set the system to automatically delete spam that scores 100 that would be the icing on the cake of a great product. (i was honestly very doubtful about the claims that Sophos was as good as its claimed but I was pleasently surprised to find all the claims to be 100% true) the only problem is im not sure where i should be looking to be able to make this happen, i have seen mention of people changing the weight of the spam score to allow them to be automatically blocked and i saw a mention of incorporating the MS SCL Number into the equation, but when i tried searching the program i kept running into dead ends. If someone could point me in the right direction of where a guide might be ( or where the settings are.) there will be 25 people that will be for ever in your debt. all the best Stuart

    I cant believe its so simple (lol i do keep finding that with Sophos though!)

    I should really stop trying to over complicate things and treat the system as though im an alien looking at it for the first time ^.^
