4.4.2. Turning on or off antispam protection
Antispam protection is enabled by default.
To turn on or off the Antispam feature:
1. Click Protection on the navigation menu on the
Bitdefender interface.
2. In the ANTISPAM pane, turn on or off the switch.
4.4.3. Using the antispam toolbar in your mail client window
In the upper area of your mail client window you can see the Antispam
toolbar. The Antispam toolbar helps you manage antispam protection directly
from your mail client. You can easily correct Bitdefender if it marked a
legitimate message as SPAM.
Important
Bitdefender integrates into the most commonly used mail clients through an
easy-to-use antispam toolbar. For a complete list of supported mail clients,
refer to
“Supported email clients and protocols” (p. 98).
Each button from the Bitdefender toolbar will be explained below:
Settings - opens a window where you can configure the antispam filters
and the toolbar settings.
Is Spam - indicates that the selected email is spam. The email will be
moved immediately to the Spam folder. If the antispam cloud services are
activated, the message is sent to Bitdefender Cloud for further analysis.
Not Spam - indicates that the selected email is not spam and Bitdefender
should not have tagged it. The email will be moved from the Spam folder to
the Inbox directory. If the antispam cloud services are activated, the message
is sent to Bitdefender Cloud for further analysis.
Important
The Not Spam button becomes active when you select a message marked
as SPAM by Bitdefender (normally these messages are located in the Spam
folder).
Add Spammer - adds the sender of the selected email to the Spammers
list. You may need to click OK to acknowledge. The email messages received
from addresses in the Spammers list are automatically marked as [spam].
