An Engineer's Guide to SMS Blocking Configuration

For technical users, default settings are rarely the end of the story. Here's how to fine-tune Wonder Shield's SMS blocking for maximum effectiveness, with the level of control that power users appreciate.

Advanced Configuration Options

Regex-Based Filtering
Power users can create filtering rules using regular expressions, allowing for highly specific message matching:

^.*(lottery|congratulations?|winner).*$

Multi-Factor Scoring Weights
Adjust how different factors contribute to the spam score:

• Sender reputation: 0-100
• Content analysis: 0-100
• Link risk: 0-100
• Behavioral markers: 0-100

Custom Classification Thresholds
Define your own thresholds for different message categories:

• Safe: Score 0-30
• Suspicious: Score 31-60
• Spam: Score 61-80
• Scam: Score 81-100

API Access for Power Users

Wonder Shield provides a local API that developers can use to:

• Query filtering statistics

• Create custom reporting dashboards

Automation Scripting

Set up automated responses to filtered messages through Shortcuts integration:
