We offer both spam-filtering and anti-virus protection to our paying customers.
Only email accounts (your-name@annelite.net) are protected. If you are using Annelite to download email from remote IMAP or POP servers, then spam and anti-virus protection are the responsibility of your email service provider.
If your POP or IMAP email provider doesn’t offer spam filtering, you have two options:
- Choose another provider. We recommend Google Apps (in fact, our own annelite.com is email is hosted by Google Apps.
- Forward your email to you@annelite.net and sign up for a paying plan if you haven’t already.
Some email providers tag email messages as spam by adding one of the following:
- [SPAM] in the subject line, or
- Email header to designate message as spam, i.e.
- X-Spam
- X-Spam-Score
- X-Spam-Level
- X-Spam-Status
- X-Spam-Flag
- X-YahooFilteredBulk
If your email provider tags email in one of the above ways, it will be placed in Spam folder in your Annelite account. If a message is linked to a contact in your database, these rules will be ignored.
