An email filter is a software app that runs on an email server and monitors all incoming email messages in order to impede any unsolicited ones from reaching a certain mailbox. A few examples of such email messages would be: offers for pills or money, false banking notices or email attachments that contain malicious software sent with the idea of damaging your PC. Spam filters usually examine the content of an email and when they spot specific keywords or other dubious content, they either erase the email or forward it to the Junk/Spam folder instead of the Inbox folder. Certain web hosts mix their own email filters with up-to-date databases from spam-tracing organizations, so as to ensure higher levels of protection for their customers. Such databases contain patterns, email server IP addresses and other information about spam email messages recently detected by these organizations.
