A spam filter is a software application that’s installed on a POP3/IMAP email server and keeps track of all incoming emails to obstruct any unrequested ones from entering a particular inbox. Several examples of such email messages would be: offers for pills or cash, false banking notices or email attachments that contain malicious code sent with the idea to damage your PC. Email filters typically ‘scan’ the content of an email message and if they come across some keywords or other suspicious content, they either erase the email or re-send it to the Junk/Spam folder instead of the Inbox folder. Certain providers mix their own filters with up-to-date databases from spam-detecting organizations, so as to ensure better safety for their customers. Such databases contain patterns, mail server IP addresses and other info about spam email messages recently revealed by these organizations.
