Spam Filters-Stop Junk Mails
A spam filter is a software program that is used to detect unsolicited and unwanted email and prevent those messages from getting to a user's inbox. A spam filter can be installed on an Internet mail server, on a private network server, or on a personal computer. A spam filter works by comparing parameters in incoming mail to lists of configurable rules. Spam filters are highly configured to catch junk mail that makes it past the more generally-configured spam filters located online.
In the simplest configuration, a spam filter passes junk mail to a spam folder, and legitimate mail to the inbox. The user can review the assignments and correct mistakes. The program will remember corrections and avoid making those mistakes in the future. A good spam filter will also use a "white list" to provide protection from phishing schemes. Some of the best spam filters are given below.
