Spam filtering is not enabled by default. Before you enable the spam filter, consider the information about privacy below.
The DLNET.ORG spam filter identifies spam on the basis of publicly available blacklists and previous spam. It learns what is spam and what is not on the basis of what users have marked as spam and what they have kept in their inbox. This has implications for your privacy: see below.

The spam filtering software needs to read the emails in your Inbox and Spam folders to learn what is spam and what is not. Even after you've deleted these emails, the spam filter might still have a copy of them in its storage which cannot be deleted. Users of DLNET Cloud consent to this practice unless they explicitly opt out of spam filtering. Please send [[user:lennart|me]] a message if you wish to opt out.
