19. Antispam
BitDefender Antispam employs remarkable technological innovations and industry
standard antispam filters to weed out spam before it reaches the user's Inbox.
19.1. Antispam Insights
Spam is a growing problem, both for individuals and for organizations. It's not pretty,
you wouldn't want your kids to see it, it can get you fired (for wasting too much
time or from receiving porn in your office mail) and you can't stop people from
sending it. The next best thing to that is, obviously, to stop receiving it. Unfortunately,
Spam comes in a wide range of shapes and sizes, and there's a lot of it.
19.1.1. Antispam Filters
The BitDefender Antispam Engine incorporates several different filters that ensure
your Inbox to be SPAM-free: Friends list, Spammers list, Charset filter, Image filter,
URL filter, NeuNet (Heuristic) filter and Bayesian filter.
Note
You can enable / disable each one of these filters in the Settings section from the
Antispam module.
Friends List / Spammers List
Most people communicate regularly to a group of people or even receive messages
from companies or organizations in the same domain. By using friends or
spammers list, you can easily classify which people you want to receive e-mail
from (friends) no matter what the message contains, or which people you never
want to hear from again (spammers).
The Friends / Spammers lists can be managed in the Expert Mode interface or from
the Antispam toolbar integrated into some of the most commonly used mail clients.
Note
We recommend that you add your friends' names and e-mail addresses to the Friends
list. BitDefender does not block messages from those on the list; therefore, adding
friends helps ensure that legitimate messages get through.
Charset Filter
Many spam messages are written in Cyrillic and / or Asian charsets. The Charset
Filter detects this kind of messages and tags them as SPAM.
