Anti Spam automatically identifies and moves spam mails into a special ‘Spams’ folder and ensures that only legitimate mail reaches your Inbox. As the mail arrives in the Process folder, it is immediately scanned for all the SPAM signature sets in the XMicro database and is scored accordingly by the Spam Blocker plug-in. This spam score then decides whether the email is SPAM or legitimate. All the emails which have more than XMicro’s preset score as the spam score, will be delivered to the SPAM folder and rest of the mails (legitimate ones) will as usual reach your inbox.
How spamblocker works: The plugin automatically updates itself and gets the latest spam signatures. It uses the keywords in the message headers and message body, domain, Spam blacklists and also the internal Banned and Safe Lists to determine the probability of a mail being Spam and assigns the mail a score. Mails with scores above a preset threshold are marked as spam. Mails from people you correspond with are safely delivered to your Inbox. Any email address from your safe list will override the spam-score rule and the mail will be delivered to your inbox.
