Mail spam score

The infamous Spam Score!

The Spam Score is a numerical value assigned by email service providers, such as Gmail, Yahoo, or Outlook, to indicate the likelihood that an email is spam. The score is calculated based on various factors, including:

1. Sender reputation: The sender's history of sending spam or legitimate emails.
2. Email content: The presence of keywords, phrases, or patterns commonly found in spam emails.
3. Recipient behavior: The recipient's past interactions with similar emails.
4. IP address: The IP address of the sender's server or the email's origin.
5. Email headers: The headers of the email, which can reveal information about the sender's identity and the email's route.

Here's a general breakdown of the Spam Score:

• Low score (0-5): The email is likely to be legitimate.
• Medium score (6-15): The email may be spam, but it's not certain.
• High score (16-30): The email is likely to be spam.
• Very high score (31-50): The email is almost certainly spam.
• Extremely high score (51+): The email is highly likely to be spam and may be blocked.

Keep in mind that the Spam Score is not a definitive measure of an email's legitimacy. It's just one factor that helps email providers filter out unwanted emails.
