Training Anti-Spam

One of the most powerful spam detection tools is the self-training iBayes algorithm. The application uses the algorithm to decide, which status should be assigned to a message based on the phrases it contains. Prior to work beginning, sample strings of useful and spam mail should be submitted to the iBayes algorithm, i.e. it should be trained .

There are several approaches to training Anti-Spam:

• Use the Training Wizard (packet training). Training with the Training Wizard is preferable from the very onset of using Anti-Spam.
• Training Anti-Spam using outgoing messages.
• Training is performed right while working with messages in mail client using the appropriate buttons and menu items.
• Training when working with Anti-Spam reports.
