A spam filter is a software application that runs on a POP3/IMAP email server and ‘scans’ all inbound email messages in order to stop any unsolicited ones from entering a given mailbox. A few instances of such emails would be: offers for pills or money, fraudulent banking notices or attachments that contain malicious software sent with the idea to damage your PC. Spam filters normally ‘scan’ the content of an email and if they detect particular keywords or other suspicious content, they either delete the message or re-send it to the Spam/Junk folder instead of the Inbox folder. Some hosting companies combine their own email filters with up-to-the-minute databases from spam-tracing organizations, so as to guarantee better protection for their customers. Such databases include patterns, email server IPs and other info about spam email messages recently uncovered by these organizations.
