Spam Blocker – Perfect email protection software.

Spam blocking principles

Usually the spam filter downloads message headers which undergo “partial enquiry”. Depending on the functionality of a certain anti spam “tool”, filtering is conducted by fields (header, sender, addressee etc.), black and white lists of electronic addresses in the database and a wider list of recognized spam generating servers. For checking lists are used, either created by developers or edited by users. Undoubtedly, the more thorough the home-made spam blocking provisions, the better, but ideal work cannot be achieved without proper tuning of blocking and filtering rules. Of course a user setting the most rigid rules risks losing with the blocked spam useful and harmless letters. But in any case, it’s a private decision.

Apart from preinstalled blocking rules, user can make his/her own corrections, such as widening the “dangerous server” lists, editing black and white lists and creating his/her own lists conforming to certain rules (for instance, taking into account letter size plus filtering from “that particular left-most Korean server list). On installing the anti spam application and adjusting its settings (or you can leave everything as it is) and initial workability check, one can make a final decision concerning fitness of the spam filter for further use. It remains to decide which spam filtering application to select.
