contain.
5. Click the Not Spam button on the Acronis Internet Security antispam toolbar
(normally located in the upper part of the mail client window). This indicates to
the Learning Engine that the selected message is not spam. The e-mail message
will be moved to the Inbox folder. The next e-mail messages that fit the same
patterns will no longer be marked as [spam].
13.3.2. Indicating Undetected Spam Messages
If you are using a supported mail client, you can easily indicate which e-mail
messages should have been detected as spam. Doing so will considerably improve
the efficiency of the antispam filter. Follow these steps:
1. Open your mail client.
2. Go to the Inbox folder.
3. Select the undetected spam messages.
4. Click the Is Spam button on the Acronis Internet Security antispam toolbar
(normally located in the upper part of the mail client window). This indicates to
the Learning Engine that the selected messages are spam. They are immediately
marked as [spam] and moved to the junk mail folder. The next e-mail messages
that fit the same patterns will be marked as [spam].
13.3.3. Retraining the Learning Engine (Bayesian)
If your antispam filter is very inaccurate, you may need to wipe the Bayesian
database and retrain the Bayesian filter.
Before training the Learning Engine (Bayesian), prepare a folder containing only
SPAM messages and another one containing only legitimate messages. The Learning
Engine will analyze them and learn the characteristics that define the spam or
legitimate messages that you usually receive. In order for the training to be efficient,
there must be over 50 messages in each category.
To reset the Bayesian database and retrain the Learning Engine, follow these steps:
1. Open your mail client.
2. On the Acronis Internet Security antispam toolbar, click the Wizard button to
start the antispam configuration wizard.
3. Click Next.
