The anti-spam software contains a database of black listed names and addresses that are continuously updated, while email filters involve the checking of some parameters, for example, if the mail is sent to a large group that is sorted alphabetically. If the email fits the parameters, it is filtered out by the software and transferred to the trash inbox. Anti-spam software also scans the contents of the email for familiar words and phrases that are commonly used by spammers. Popup accounts are automatically blocked, while quarantined mails are filed systematically for the user to review before these are deleted.
