| How does BSpam work? |
BSpam works with a unique technology, wherein users report
spam emails. Once an email has been reported as spam by the initial set of users,
and based on its unique SpamRankTM technology that evaluates the spam
value of an email, that particular email is blocked from reaching the inbox of
other users using BSpam. |

| How does BSpam prevent spam? |
Every spam mail
reported using the SpamRank TM system receives a unique signature and
every mail, which arrives to your mailbox, is compared with this signature stored
in the database for spam. If the signature matches, then the mail is moved to
the 'Spam' Folder. |

| |
| How do I report spam? |
You can either use "Report SPAM" feature in
the toolbar or you can use F8 Key and the mail gets directed to the 'Spam_Posted'
folder or you can right click on the mail and select the "Report SPAM"
option. Multiple e-mails can be selected and reported as spam.

| |
| Will BSpam delete the mails that I post as spam? |
BSpam never deletes any mails
posted as spam. It stores the mails in "Spam_Posted" folder till they
are manually deleted. All incoming spam mails are also not deleted but kept in
another folder called "Spam". |
 |

| |
| What happens to the mails that I report? |
The mails that
are reported by BSpam users produce a unique signature, which are stored in the
BSpam database. These spam mails are then moved to "Spam_Posted" folder
in your Outlook. |

| |
| Are my genuine incoming mails secure? |
BSpam
does not store the actual contents of your mail, it assigns a value to only those
mails reported as spam and these values are stored in the BSpam database in a
coded form thus ensuring complete privacy and protection of your data. |

| How do I remove someone
from the 'Spam' list if they have accidentally been added to the 'Blocked
Senders' list? |
If an e-mail is incorrectly identified as spam
and goes into spam folder, please go to the spam folder and report that e-mail
as ‘Not Spam’. It will be permanently removed from the 'Blocked Senders'
list.
|
 |
Or
|
|
Alternatively,
you can add this blocked e-mail address to the ‘Approved Senders’ list
by navigating to the menu item 'Approved Senders' and adding the particular e-mail
address. Once added to ‘Approved Senders’ list, the mail will no longer
be treated as spam.

| BSpam tool bar disappears
in-spite of reinstall, how do I configure my Microsoft Outlook to make
it appear? |

Microsoft Outlook configuration. To configure your Outlook, please run the 'BSpam_Recovery.exe'.

been installed in your computer.

run the 'BSpam_Recovery.exe'.

I create my own approved or blocked domains to control spam? |
