Namesonic uses an industry standard spam detection methodology called SpamAssassin. This program can also be trained using bayesian filtering based on messages that you "mark as spam". Doing this is important to "train" your spam filter to know what kinds of emails you want to accept, and what kinds are actually unwanted.
Spammers are using every tool in their arsenal, to get their spam delivered to you, so manual filtering used in conjunction with "adjusting spam filter sensitivity", is the incremental steps that are needed to combat this problem.
Training Concept
To train your spam filter, you must move any offending email into the Spam folder. Conversely, you should move any false-reported email out of your spam folder, into the Inbox. Our system learns once every day from the emails you have marked as spam (or not spam), and applies that knowledge to filter further incoming email. Be sure to leave the email that you moved for 24 hours so our system can learn it.
Email Programs
Each email program is different when it comes to marking an email as spam. You may simply use our "Webmail Service" or use an "IMAP enabled email client" ( not regular POP mail ).
