Your filter sensitivity settings can be as high, or as low, as you like.
Heuristic, URL, Whitelist/Blacklist and Charset filters
Four types of filters further refine your control over e-mail. The heuristic filter checks mail for characteristics of spam.The Whitelist/Blacklist filter will reject mail from known spammer addresses and let your friends' mail through, the URL filter blocks mail containing malicious links and the charset filter blocks mail written with “strange characters.
