Spam Filters
Find out about spam filters - what they are, how they work and the ways to create one.
An email filter is a software application that’s installed on a POP3/IMAP server and monitors all inbound messages in order to block any undesired ones from reaching a given inbox. Several examples of such emails would be: offers for pills or cash, fake bank notifications or attachments that contain malicious software sent with the idea of damaging your personal computer. Spam filters usually examine the content of an email message and if they detect some keywords or other dubious content, they either erase the message or forward it to the Junk/Spam folder instead of the Inbox folder. Certain providers mix their own spam filters with up-to-date databases from spam-monitoring organizations, so as to guarantee better security for their clients. Such databases include patterns, mail server IPs and other info about spam email messages recently uncovered by these organizations.
