An email filter is a piece of software that is installed on an email server and ‘scans’ all inbound emails in order to hinder any undesired ones from reaching a particular inbox. Several instances of such emails would be: offers for pills or cash, fake bank statements or attachments that contain malicious code sent with the idea to damage your personal computer. Email filters normally check the content of an email and in case they detect certain keywords or other dubious content, they either erase the email message or redirect it to the Spam/Junk folder instead of the Inbox folder. Some web hosting companies mix their own spam filters with up-to-date databases from spam-monitoring organizations, so as to guarantee better safety for their customers. Such databases include patterns, mail server IP addresses and other info about spam emails recently reported by these organizations.
