Help > How To Block Junk Emails with Anti Spam Software
| DNSBL Servers Friend Lists and Blacklists Filters |
In order to block junk emails with effective anti spam software technology, Chrysanth Mail Manager uses three techniques to separate good emails from spam mails:
- DNSBL Servers.
Spammers are notorious for using unsecured email relays for smothering the world with
garbage. To stop them, DNSBL Servers keep lists of such relays.
For any email that isn't identified by one of the steps above, Chrysanth Mail Manager checks
its source with one or more DNSBL Servers - and often they report back SPAM
MAIL!
- Friend Lists and Blacklists.
In one quick step, import everyone in your Outlook 2000 (or above) and Windows Address Book
to your Email Friend List. The Email Blacklist
is similar, for people you never want email from. More wide-ranging, Domain Lists
(for both kinds) cover addresses that are the same to the right of the "@" sign. The color-coding
shown here, for friends, blacklisted mail,
spam mail, and even filters,
is what you see when Chrysanth Mail Manager lists your email, making it easy to sort
at a glance.
- Filters. Step-by-step help will show you how easy it is to set up rules to filter out spam mails, even before it gets to your computer. Filters can be individually color-coded, and can even mark spam emails for deletion. You can also use filters to protect the emails you want!
