To move automatically all messages marked as spam by Dr.Web Anti-spam into definite mail folder in your mail client, do the following.

  1. In SpIDer Mail menu on the Windows Task Panel choose “Settings” – the SpIDer Mail “Settings” window will appear. Press the “Advanced…” button. The “SpIDer Mail® Spam Settings” window will open. Check the “Add prefix to the subjects of the spam messages” box. Input any word or combination of symbols in the field below it. This will be the prefix Dr.Web Anti-spam will add to subjects of messages marked as spam.
  2. In the mail client you use, make a new folder for spam. Make the rule for this folder so that all the spam messages with the prefix you specified in the “Add prefix to the subjects of the spam messages” filed are placed there automatically.

Incoming mail filtering is processed by SpIDer Mail, one of Dr.Web modules. The following steps describe how to activate the spam filter:

  • In SpIDer Mail menu on the Windows Task Panel choose “Settings” – the SpIDer Mail “Settings” window will appear.
  • In the “Scan” pane of the SpIDer Mail “Settings” window enable the “Check for the spam” checkbox and press OK to save the changes made; then close SpIDer Mail “Settings” window.

After you’ve activated your spam filter, SpIDer Mail with Vade Retro anti-spam engine integrated into it starts filtering all your incoming mail on POP3 and IMAP4 protocols.

At first all spam messages were of Latin origin and spam-filters’ developers, represented for the most part by Western companies, were aimed at filtering these ones only. Later on spammers switched into Cyrillic, too. But since the bulk of spam is still in Latin, there are some difficulties to filter Cyrillic spam.

To save your Cyrillic correspondence from being filtered as spam without a prior analysis, check the “Allow Cyrillic texts” box. Otherwise such e-mails are likely to be marked as spam. “Allow Chinese, Japanese, Korean text” option works the same way.

To have all the messages marked with Dr.Web spam filter automatically moved to a specific folder — let's call it Spam, for example, — follow the below steps:

  1. Right-click on the Dr.Web icon in the notifications area and select SpIDer Mail–>Settings. Go to the Anti-spam tab, and check the box next to Add a prefix to the Subject field of e-mails containing spam. In the field below, enter any word or letter combination you like — that's what will be a prefix Dr.Web spam filter will add to the subjects of messages specified to be a spam.
  2. In your e-mail client, create a folder for spam filtering and configure rule for it so that messages having a prefix you have entered to the Add a prefix to the Subject field of e-mails containing spam be placed into it automatically.

Below are detailed steps on how to set up rules for various e-mail clients. It is assumed that the Anti-spam is configured to mark an incoming spam with the [SPAM] prefix. If you chose an alternative prefix, use it in accordance with this manual...

Whitelists and Blacklists contain mail addresses you either trust or not.

  • If the sender’s e-mail address is added to the Whitelist, these messages are not filtered. However, if the sender and the receiver share the same domain name e-mail addresses and this domain name is enlisted in the Whitelist with the “*” symbol, it is filtered for spam.
  • All messages enlisted in Blacklist are marked as spam without additional analysis.

Both lists settings should be fill in one after another, parted by “;”. The “*” sign can be used as a part of e-mail address. For example, *@domain.org passes for all addresses with “domain.org” domain name.

In case some messages are falsely filtered, they should be forwarded as attachments to special addresses for analysis and correction of spam-filtering techniques.

  • Messages, falsely marked as spam , should be forwarded as attachments to nonspam@drweb.com
  • Messages, falsely marked as non-spam , should be forwarded as attachments to spam@drweb.com.

  • Next come black political and economic PR scams and the so-called “letters of happiness”.
  • There is also a technical spam, or bounce messages, generated by mail servers in reply to undelivered message, whether you did send one or not. Such e-mails might emerge as a result of mail server poor work or virus activity, of some e-mail worm, for instance.
