13.3. Configuring Anti-Spam
Fine-tuning Anti-Spam is essential for the spam security feature. All settings for
component operation are located in the Kaspersky Internet Security settings
window and allow you to:
•
Determine the particulars of operation of Anti-Spam (see 13.3.1 on
pg. 171)
•
Choose which spam filtration technologies to use (see 13.3.2 on pg. 172)
•
Regulate the recognition accuracy of spam and potential spam
(see 13.3.3 on pg. 173)
•
Create white and black lists for senders and key phrases (see 13.3.4 on
pg. 174)
•
Configure additional spam filtration features (see 13.3.5 on pg. 178)
•
Maximally reduce the amount of spam in your Inbox through previewing
with the Email Dispatcher (see 13.3.7 on pg. 179)
The following sections will examine these settings in detail.
13.3.1. Configuring scan settings
You can configure the following scan settings:
•
Whether traffic from POP3/IMAP protocols are scanned. By default, Anti-
Spam scans email on all these protocols, except emails encrypted with
SSL.
•
Whether plug-ins are activated for Microsoft Office Outlook and The Bat!
•
Whether email is viewed via POP3 in the Email Dispatcher (see 13.3.7 on
pg. 179) prior to downloading it from the email server to the user’s Inbox.
To configure these settings:
1. Select
Anti-Spam
in the Kaspersky Internet Security settings window.
2. Check or uncheck the boxes in the
Connectivity
section which
correspond to the three options discussed immediately above (see
fig. 56).
