5.5. How to train Anti-Spam
One step in getting started is training Anti-Spam, using your emails to filter out
junk. Spam is junk email, although it is difficult to say what constitutes spam for a
given user. While there are email categories which can be applied to spam with a
high degree of accuracy and generality (for example, mass emailings,
advertisements), such emails could belong in the inbox of some users.
Therefore, we ask that you determine for yourself what email is spam and what
isn’t. Kaspersky Internet Security will ask you after installation if you want to train
Anti-Spam to differentiate between spam and accepted email. You can do this
with special buttons that plug into your email client (Microsoft Office Outlook,
Microsoft Outlook Express, The Bat!) or using the special training wizard.
Warning!
This version of Kaspersky Internet Security does not provide Anti-Spam plug-ins
for the 64-bit mail clients Microsoft Office Outlook, Microsoft Outlook Express
and The Bat!
To train Anti-Spam using the plug-in’s buttons in the email client,
1. Open your computer's default email client (e.g. Microsoft Office
Outlook). You will see two buttons on the toolbar:
Spam
and
Accepted
.
2. Select an accepted email or group of emails that contains accepted
email and click
Accepted
. From this point onward, emails from the
addresses in the emails from the senders you selected will never be
processed as spam.
3. Select an email, a group of emails, or a folder of emails that you
consider spam, and click
Spam
. Anti-Spam will analyze the contents of
these emails, and in the future it will consider all emails with similar
contents to be spam.
To train Anti-Spam using the Training Wizard,
1. Select Anti-Spam in the
Protection
section of the main program
window and click
Settings
.
2. In the right-hand part of the settings window, click
Training Wizard
.
3. In step one, select folders from your email client that contain email that
is not spam. Click the
Next
button.
4. In the second step, specify folders with spam. Click the
Next
button.
The training process is based on the folders that you specify.
When an email arrives in your inbox, Anti-Spam will scan it for spam content and
add a special [Spam] tag to the subject line of spam. You can configure a special
