Spam Filters
What is an e-mail spam filter? How does one function? How to enable spam filtering?
Most email messages sent around the globe nowadays are spam, in other words – unwanted messages with various offers or with links to malware. Not only are such email messages irritating, but they also pose a threat to your own computer, not to mention that you may be swindled. This is why, lots of email service providers resort to spam filters, which are software apps that monitor all incoming email messages and filter the undesired ones on the basis of their content – what words an email message includes and how many times they are cited, what website a particular link points to, what email server the email is sent from, and so on. Some hosting companies also make use of the databases of spam-tracking organizations dedicated to the provision of the most up-to-date information about unsolicited email messages, to make sure that their clients will not receive any email in their mailbox that shouldn’t be there.
