Allow/Deny by phrases and URLs

Feature

How it works

Phrase rules are checked against normalized message content. URL rules help you block known spam destinations or suspicious shorteners.

How to access / enable

  1. WP Admin → AegisSpamGuard → Allow/Deny
  2. Add a phrase or URL rule
  3. Choose Allow or Deny and save.

Recommended setting
