TRAINING ANTI-SPAM
One of the most powerful spam detection tools is the self-training iBayes algorithm. The application uses the algorithm to
decide, which status should be assigned to a message based on the phrases it contains. Prior to work beginning, sample
strings of useful and spam mail should be submitted to the iBayes algorithm, i.e. it should be trained.
There are several approaches to training Anti-Spam:
Use the Training Wizard (packet training). Training with the Training Wizard is preferable from the very onset of
using Anti-Spam.
Training Anti-Spam using outgoing messages.
