Note

If the e-mail is tagged as SEXUALLY EXPLICIT in the subject line, Bitdefender will

consider it SPAM.

If the spam score exceeds the threshold level, the e-mail is considered SPAM. The

threshhold level is defined by the antispam protection level. For more information,

please refer to “Adjusting the sensitivity level” (p. 92).

If the local antispam filters do not provide a conclusive result, the e-mail is checked

using in-the-cloud detection, which finally decides whether the e-mail is spam or

legitimate.

17.1.3. Antispam updates

Every time an update is performed, new signatures for known spam e-mails and

links are added to the databases. This will help increase the effectiveness of your

Antispam engine.

To protect you against spammers, Bitdefender can perform automatic updates.

Keep the Automatic Update option enabled.

17.1.4. Supported e-mail clients and protocols

Antispam protection is provided for all POP3/SMTP e-mail clients. The Bitdefender

Antispam toolbar however is integrated only into:

● Microsoft Outlook 2007 / 2010

● Microsoft Outlook Express and Windows Mail (on 32-bit systems)

● Mozilla Thunderbird 3.0.4

17.2. Turning on or off antispam protection

Antispam protection is not enabled by default. To enable the antispam module,

follow these steps:

1. Open the Bitdefender window.

2. On the Antispam panel, click the switch to turn on or off Antispam.

3. Wait for Bitdefender to install the module components.

17.3. Using the antispam toolbar in your mail client window

In the upper area of your mail client window you can see the Antispam toolbar. The

Antispam toolbar helps you manage antispam protection directly from your mail

client. You can easily correct Bitdefender if it marked a legitimate message as SPAM.
