The following table describes the possible Spam classifications that Commtouch can return in response to a request from the querying devices.
Classification | Explanation |
---|---|
Confirmed |
Spam messages from known spam sources (e.g. zombies). |
Bulk |
Spam messages from sources that are not confirmed spammers. |
Suspected |
Legitimate messages that are sent to slightly larger than average distribution or are unidentified spam messages in the first few seconds of a massive spam outbreak. |
Valid Mail |
Messages for which Commtouch does not have any incriminating information, and are therefore assumed to represent legitimate correspondence. |
NonSpam |
Messages that are confirmed, without doubt, as coming from trusted sources. This classification is very rarely used. |
