10.3.1.Anti-Spam Principles

Spam refers to unsolicited e-mail, mostly advertising a product or service that is mass

mailed to a huge number of e-mail addresses at a time, filling recipients’ mail boxes.

Spam does not refer to legitimate commercial e-mail for which consumers have given

their consent. Spam is not only annoying, but also can often be a source of scams,

viruses or offensive content.

Anti-Spam checks all incoming e-mail messages and marks unwanted e-mails as

SPAM. It uses several analyzing methods to process each e-mail message, offering

maximum possible protection against unwanted e-mail messages.
