Kaspersky Lab kaspersky anti-spam 2.0 Manual

4.4. Preinstalled filter profiles 

Kaspersky Anti-Spam is installed on your computer with a set of preinstalled 
profiles that allow spam filtering to start immediately after the installation. 

The following filtering mode is applied by default: 

•  The medium ("standard") severity level is applied during the evaluation of 

the spam attributes (common profile 

is 

executed); 

•  The detected messages will be delivered to the recipients; in this case 

they are labeled in the 

header. 

The components of the preinstalled set of filter profiles and the logic of the 
operations they perform are described below. Comparison of the alternative 
profiles is also provided. 

The administrator can change the default settings and setup user-dependent 
processing modes of the detected messages (reaction to spam) (see para 4.4.2, 
page 39). 

 

Read the 

file carefully. This file contains the latest 

information about preinstalled profiles including information about 
changes that may have taken place after this guide had been prepared. 

4.4.1. Stages of the preinstalled filter 

profiles operation 

Processing of each message includes three stages: 

1.  detection of formal spam attributes: analysis of message headers; 

2.  message evaluation, additional checks, if required; 

3.  processing of the messages identified as spam, possible spam, etc. 

A separate profile is responsible for each of these stages. One common profile is 
provided for the first stage but you may select profiles that will work at the 
second and the third stages.
