Explanation

The spam threshold (B) directly controls how aggressively the ESA classifies messages as spam. IronPort Anti-Spam assigns each message a spam score; the threshold determines the cutoff point at which a message is treated as spam. Lowering the threshold increases aggressiveness (more messages flagged), while raising it reduces false positives. 'Protection level' applies to outbreak filters, 'spam timeout' relates to the time limit for scanning, and 'maximum depth of recursion scan' pertains to attachment scanning depth - none of these control spam classification aggressiveness.
