An email filter is a software app that’s installed on a POP3/IMAP email server and monitors all inbound messages in order to hinder any undesired ones from entering a certain inbox. A few instances of such emails would be: offers for pills or cash, false banking notifications or email attachments that contain malicious code sent with the idea to infect your personal computer. Email filters normally check the content of an email message and in case they detect some keywords or other suspicious content, they either erase the email or re-send it to the Spam/Junk folder instead of the Inbox folder. Certain web hosting providers mix their own email filters with up-to-date databases from spam-tracking organizations, so as to guarantee better safety for their clients. Such databases contain patterns, mail server IPs and other info about spam emails recently uncovered by these organizations.
