Does avast anti spam return mail
Avast Antivirus, which includes email protection, does not typically return spam emails to the sender. Instead, it uses various techniques to block or filter out spam emails from reaching your inbox. Here are some ways Avast Antivirus handles spam emails:
- Blocking: Avast Antivirus can block spam emails from reaching your inbox by analyzing the sender's IP address, email headers, and content. If an email is deemed spam, it will be blocked and not delivered to your inbox.
- Quarantining: Avast Antivirus can quarantine spam emails, which means they are moved to a special folder (e.g., "Spam" or "Junk Email") where you can review them. You can then choose to delete or mark them as "not spam" to improve the accuracy of Avast's spam filtering.
- Marking as spam: Avast Antivirus can mark spam emails as such, which helps your email client (e.g., Gmail, Outlook) to learn and improve its own spam filtering.
- Reporting: Avast Antivirus can report spam emails to the sender's email provider, which can help to reduce the amount of spam sent by that sender.
Avast Antivirus does not typically return spam emails to the sender, as this could potentially cause problems with the sender's email infrastructure or lead to false positives (i.e., legitimate emails being marked as spam). Instead, Avast focuses on blocking or filtering out spam emails to protect your inbox and prevent unwanted emails from reaching your device.
