Introduction to spam filtering

The spam filtering function of EasyMail allows you to prevent unsolicited email (spam) from reaching your mailbox.

By enabling spam filtering for an account, every email which enters your inbox is evaluated and assigned a point value by an automated filter, based on the message headers and each email's content. If the point total is over a certain value, then the email is categorized as spam. The subject, message formatting and message headers are all examined for "spam-like" features.

One of three things can be done with email flagged as Spam: "Tag and Deliver", "Delete" and "Quarantine". For more information on these and more advanced features, see the section titled Enabling advanced spam filtering.

By disabling spam filtering for an account, all email will bypass the spam filter and be delivered directly to your mailbox.
