4.4. Antispam
Spam is a term used to describe unsolicited email. 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.
Bitdefender Antispam employs remarkable technological innovations and
industry standard antispam filters to weed out spam before it reaches the
user's Inbox. For more information, refer to “Antispam insights” (p. 97).
The Bitdefender Antispam protection is available only for email clients
configured to receive email messages via the POP3 protocol. POP3 is one
of the most widely used protocols for downloading email messages from a
mail server.
Note
Bitdefender does not provide antispam protection for email accounts that you
access through a web-based email service.
The spam messages detected by Bitdefender are marked with the [spam]
prefix in the subject line. Bitdefender automatically moves spam messages
to a specific folder, as follows:
● In Microsoft Outlook, spam messages are moved to a Spam folder, located
in the Deleted Items folder. The Spam folder is created when an email is
labeled as spam.
● In Mozilla Thunderbird, spam messages are moved to a Spam folder,
located in the Trash folder. The Spam folder is created when an email is
labeled as spam.
