Spam Filters
What precisely is an e-mail spam filter? How does one operate? How to activate spam filtering?
Most email messages sent around the globe these days are spam, i.e. unwanted messages with various offers or with links to malicious software. Not only are such emails annoying, but they also pose a risk to your own computer, not to mention that you may be ripped off. That’s why, plenty of email service providers make use of spam filters, which are apps that ‘scan’ all incoming emails and filter the unwanted ones based on their content – what words or phrases an email includes and how often they are referred to, what web site a particular link opens, what mail server the email is sent from, and so on. Some web hosts also use the databases of spam-monitoring organizations dedicated to providing the most up-to-the-minute information about undesired email messages, to ensure that their customers will not receive any email in their mailbox that is not supposed to be there.
