Applicable for: Windows
With the increase in usage of email, many users receive a number of unwanted and unsolicited commercial email messages that are known as spam. Not only does spam make it difficult to identify valid email messages, but some spam contains offensive messages and images.
Your Norton product provides several powerful features to reduce your exposure to unwanted online content.
| Integration with email programs |
Adds several options to the toolbar in supported email programs. |
| Allowed and Blocked Lists |
|
| Automatic import of addresses |
Automatically imports lists of addresses from supported email programs to keep your list of allowed email senders and blocked email senders in sync. |
| Web Query |
Lets you query the Norton web servers to filter the spam email messages which the local filters fail to classify as spam. |
| Automated update of spam definitions |
Updates the copies of Norton spam definition files automatically. |
Use Norton AntiSpam settings to do the following:
-
To define the client to which Norton AntiSpam should integrate
-
To specify the email addresses and domain names that Norton AntiSpam should allow or block
-
To specify whether Norton AntiSpam should use the Web Query filter to filter spam email messages
-
To determine whether Norton AntiSpam should send the feedback about the misclassified email message automatically to Norton.
Turning off Norton AntiSpam increases your exposure to receive unsolicited email messages. Always ensure that Norton AntiSpam is turned on. It secures your email client from unwanted online content.
Norton AntiSpam does not work if your SMTP or POP3 email port is an SSL-encrypted email port. Your Norton product supports all email programs that use non-SSL POP3 and SMTP communication protocols.
You can configure Norton AntiSpam settings on the following tabs:
| Filter |
The options on the Filter tab let you configure the list of allowed and blocked email senders. You can also configure the option to filter the email messages through the Web Query filter. In addition, you can configure the Address Book Exclusions list. |
| Client Integration |
The options on the Client Integration tab let you integrate Norton AntiSpam with your email clients to keep you free from unsolicited email messages. You can define whether feedback about a misclassified email message should be sent to Norton. You can also specify whether or not to display a brief introduction of Norton AntiSpam each time you start your email program. In addition, you can specify which address book you want Norton AntiSpam to integrate with. |
