A spam filter is an application that prevents unwanted emails from reaching a given mailbox. A large percentage of the email correspondence around the globe consists of spam messages: offers for pills or cash, sham bank notifications, and so on. That’s why, it is very important to set up email filters in order to avoid not only unsolicited bulk emails, but also any possibility of being conned somehow. Email filters detect various things, so as to ensure better security – particular words and phrases or the frequency with which they surface in the text, the sender’s address, or the IP of the sender’s outbound email server. Web hosts often make use of the services of 3rd-party spam-detecting organizations that provide up-to-date databases to make spam filtering easier and more efficient without affecting legitimate email messages, even if they include suspicious words or phrases.
