Most of the emails sent around the globe nowadays are spam, i.e. unrequested messages with different offers or with links to malware. Not only are such email messages aggravating, but they also pose a threat to your computer, not to mention that you may be scammed. Because of this, many email service providers use spam filters, which are apps that ‘scan’ all incoming emails and filter out the undesirable ones based on their content – what words or phrases an email consists of and how many times they are mentioned, what site a certain hyperlink opens, what outgoing SMTP mail server the email message comes from, etc. Some web hosting providers also rely on the databases of spam-monitoring organizations devoted to the provision of the most up-to-the-minute info about unwelcome messages, to ensure that their clients will not get any email in their mailbox that shouldn’t be there.
