Table Of Contents
The URL filter will compare the links found in the e-mail against the links from the
Acronis Internet Security database of known spam links. In case of a match, the
e-mail will be considered SPAM.
The NeuNet (Heuristic) filter will take over the e-mail and will perform a set of tests
on all the message components, looking for words, phrases, links or other
characteristics of SPAM. Based on the results of the analysis, the e-mail will receive
a spam score.
Note
If the e-mail is tagged as SEXUALLY EXPLICIT in the subject line, Acronis Internet
Security will consider it SPAM.
The
Bayesian filter module will further analyze the message, according to statistical
information regarding the rate at which specific words appear in messages classified
SPAM as compared to those declared NON-SPAM (by you or by the heuristic filter).
A Spam score will be added to the e-mail.
If the aggregate spam score (heuristic score + Bayesian score) exceeds the threshold
level, the e-mail is considered SPAM. The threshhold level is defined by the antispam
protection level. For more information, please refer to Adjusting the Protection
Level (p. 72).
