Spam is a pest and a nuisance. Majority of people receive spam emails but especially those that are active online. If you've ever filled in an online form giving your email address then you could be subjected to unnecessary and useless emails. If you publish your email address online then you are almost certain to start receiving spam and it is difficult to stop it once it begins except with the use of anti spam software.

The manual prevention of spam means ensuring the integrity of every website you use, join, or fill in a form for. It also means that you should not directly publish your email on the web. Spammers use data mining and web crawling software that trawls quickly through the Internet following links from one web page to another collecting any and all email addresses it finds. If you are in this list then you will start to receive more and more spam as the page with the link becomes more popular.

The purpose of our Spam Control system is to help eliminate much of the SPAM email that you receive in your POP email box, but in most cases it will not eliminate all SPAM messages which you receive. By setting the system too sensitive, it is possible to mis-identify legitimate email as a spam message. Therefore, it's better to let a "controllable" amount of spam through and into your email box. Once activated on a POP email account, all inbound email is scanned and scored using predefined values for phrases, words, etc.
