18.7. Configuring the Antispam Filters and Settings
As described in “Antispam Insights” (p. 86), BitDefender uses a combination of
different antispam filters to identify spam. The antispam filters are pre-configured
for efficient protection.
You can disable each one of these filters or change their settings, but this is not
recommended. These are some changes you may want to make:
● Depending on whether or not you receive legitimate e-mails written in Asian or
Cyrillic characters, disable or enable the setting that automatically blocks such
e-mails.
Note
The corresponding setting is disabled in the localized versions of the program that
use such charsets (for example, in the Russian or Chinese version).
● If you do not want to automatically add the recipients of your sent mail to the
Friends list, you can disable the corresponding setting. In this case, add your
contacts to the Friends list, as described in “Configuring the Friends List” (p. 95).
● Advanced users can try to adjust the size of the Bayesian dictionary to achieve
better antispam performance. A smaller number of words will result in faster, but
less precise, antispam processing. A larger number of words will increase antispam
detection accuracy, but it will take more time to access your e-mails.
Note
It may take several adjustments of the Bayesian dictionary size to reach the desired
performance level. If the result is not as expected, set back the default and
recommended size of 200.000 words.
To configure the antispam settings and filters:
1. Open BitDefender, click Options in the upper-right corner of the window and
choose Expert View.
2. Go to Antispam > Settings.
3. Configure the settings as needed. To find out what an option does, keep the
mouse over it and read the description displayed at the bottom of the window.
4. Click Apply to save the changes.
