Filtering e-mail
Anti-Spam examines your incoming e-mail, and categorizes it as
spam (e-mail soliciting you to purchase something) or phishing
(e-mail soliciting you to provide personal information to a
potentially fraudulent Web site). By default, Anti-Spam then
marks each unsolicited e-mail message as spam or phishing (the
tag [SPAM] or [PHISH] appears in the subject line of the
message), and moves the message to the McAfee Anti-Spam
folder.
You can mark e-mail as spam or not spam from the Anti-Spam
toolbar, change the location where spam messages are moved, or
change the tag that appears in the subject line.
You can also disable Anti-Spam toolbars as part of your
troubleshooting strategy when you are experiencing issues with
your e-mail program.
