Turn off or turn on spam filtering
With the increase in usage of email, many users receive a number of unwanted and unsolicited
commercial email messages known as spam. Not only does spam make it difficult to identify
valid email messages, but some spam contains offensive messages and images.
To control these spam mails you can use the spam filtering. By default, spam protection remains
active. If for any reason you want to disable it, you can turn it off from within the program itself.
Note: Turning off Norton AntiSpam increases your exposure to receive unsolicited email
messages.
