It incorporates heuristics to examine incoming email messages in order to compute a &quot;score&quot; based on a complex system of rules. The score is then used to determine the likelihood of a message being spam, and certain actions can be taken based on that score — you can refuse the message, flag it as possible spam, and so on.<\/span><\/p>\n\r<p class=\"p_BodyText\"><span class=\"f_BodyText\">Addresses can be<\/span><span class=\"f_BodyText\"> allowed or blocked, or designated as completely exempt from Spam Filter examination. You can have a spam report inserted into messages, showing their spam scores and how those scores were achieved, or you can generate the report as a separate email and have the original spam message included with it as an attachment. Further, you can even use <a href=\"sf_bayesian.html\" class=\"topiclink\">Bayesian<\/a> learning to help the Spam Filter learn to identify spam more accurately over time, thus increasing its reliability.<\/span><\/p>\n\r<p class=\"p_BodyText\"><span class=\"f_BodyText\">Finally, by examining many thousands of known spam messages, the rules have been optimized over time and are very reliable in detecting the fingerprint of a spam message.
