A spam filter is a piece of software that’s installed on a POP3/IMAP mail server and keeps track of all incoming messages to obstruct any unsolicited ones from entering a given mailbox. A few examples of such emails would be: offers for pills or cash, fraudulent banking statements or email attachments that contain malicious code sent with the idea of infecting your PC. Email filters usually examine the content of an email and if they spot some keywords or other dubious content, they either delete the message or re-send it to the Junk/Spam folder instead of the Inbox folder. Certain hosting providers mix their own filters with up-to-the-minute databases from spam-tracing organizations, so as to ensure better protection for their customers. Such databases contain patterns, email server IP addresses and other info about spam emails recently uncovered by these organizations.
