| Anti-spam approach | Not separately documented as a technical methodology beyond standard server-side mail filtering; the Privacy Statement discloses that email server logs (sender/recipient addresses, connecting IPs) are retained for 48 hours to prevent brute-force attacks and aid debugging, and specifies that message content is not read except for service operation, troubleshooting, or suspected Terms of Service violations. | Connection-level blocking of known spam-sending infrastructure before a message is accepted, followed by content-based scoring of accepted mail with a threshold that routes high-scoring messages to Spam; the filter adapts per user from Report spam / Not spam / delete / archive actions. Documented on the vendor's own Stop Spam help page as analysing message content server-side, consistent with a provider that holds the encryption keys and makes no zero-access claim. |
