18.6. Configuring the Spammers List
The Spammers list is a list of all the e-mail addresses from which you don't want
to receive messages, regardless of their content. Any e-mail message received from
an address contained in the Spammers list will be automatically marked as SPAM,
without further processing.
To configure and manage the Spammers list:
● If you are using Microsoft Outlook / Outlook Express / Windows Mail / Thunderbird,
click the Spammers button on the BitDefender antispam toolbar integrated
into your mail client.
● Alternatively, follow these steps:
1. Open BitDefender, click Options in the upper-right corner of the window and
choose Expert View.
2. Go to Antispam > Status.
3. Click Manage Spammers.
To add an e-mail address, select the E-mail address option, enter the address and
To add all the e-mail addresses from a specific domain, select the Domain name
option, enter the domain name and click the button next to the edit field. Syntax:
● @domain.com, *domain.com and domain.com - all the received e-mail messages
from domain.com will be tagged as SPAM;
● *domain* - all the received e-mail messages from domain (no matter the domain
suffixes) will be tagged as SPAM;
● *com - all the received e-mail messages having the domain suffix com will be
tagged as SPAM.
It is recommended to avoid adding entire domains, but this may be useful in some
situations.
Warning
Do not add domains of legitimate web-based e-mail services (such as Yahoo, Gmail,
Hotmail or other) to the Spammers list. Otherwise, the e-mail messages received
from any registered user of such a service will be detected as spam. If, for example,
you add yahoo.com to the Spammers list, all e-mail messages coming from
yahoo.com addresses will be marked as [spam].
To delete an item from the list, select it and click the Remove button. To delete all
entries from the list, click the Clear list button and then Yes to confirm.
You can save the Spammers list to a file so that you can use it on another computer
or after reinstalling the product. To save the Spammers list, click the Save button
and save it to the desired location. The file will have a .bwl extension.
