How does the spam & virus filter work?

Did you know that around 160 billion spam e-mails are sent every day? That is almost half of all e-mails sent each day.

Our spam & virus filter reliably detects spam and attached viruses sent to your e-mail addresses. Messages identified as spam with 100% certainty are discarded automatically. All others end up in the junk folder of the respective mailbox. E-mails with attached viruses are discarded automatically to keep you safe.

Due to the volume and complexity of many spam e-mails, it can still happen that some end up in your mailbox. We are constantly working to improve our spam filter.
