| Anti-spam approach | 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. | Multi-stage malware and spam scanning at mail transport time, before any optional PGP encryption is applied, combined with SPF, DKIM, DMARC, DNSSEC, DANE and MTA-STS at the protocol level; no content-scanning of already-encrypted mailbox data is described. |
