# Antispam Profiles

An anti-spam profile is a list of settings that direct the device to detect and filter spam messages. Antispam profiles allow you to designate lists of IP addresses, e-mails, hostnames or domain names, designated as malicious (spam) or benign (non-spam). The profile can include lists of the following types:

- Pubic-based black lists or white lists. If the connection is from a mail forwarding agent, the device can filter the connection's source IP address using lists of devices deemed to be benign (white list) or malicious (black list).

- Domain-name-based white lists or black lists. The device can use such lists to filter connections that use domain names deemed to be benign or malicious.

- Address-book-based white lists or black lists. The device can use such lists to base filtering on the sender's e-mail address or domain. By default, any e-mail server should accept its own user's e-mail.
