E-mail Filtering
ContentBarrier X5 allows you to apply its built-in content filters to e-mail messages that are
transferred through any e-mail program.
Your three options for e-mail filtering are:
• Allow e-mail protocols: all e-mail will be allowed through.
• Try to filter inappropriate e-mails: ContentBarrier X5 will scrutinize the contents of incoming
and outgoing e-mail and block those that it believes are dangerous. ContentBarrier X5 uses the
entire list of AntiPredator phrases for this filtering; even if you have only activated certain
phrases in the Chat Filtering preferences, those choices do not affect e-mail filtering.
• Block e-mail protocols: forbids all e-mail from coming through standard e-mail programs.
Note, however, that this setting will not affect messages delivered in other ways, for example
on message boards or web sites.
Peer-to-Peer Filtering
ContentBarrier X5 can filter peer-to-peer software, which is often used to share files over the
Internet. To activate peer-to-peer filtering for a selected user, check the “Block peer-to-peer” box.
There are no options for peer-to-peer filtering; It is either active or inactive.
