Your Inbox Deserves More Than Two Buckets
Most antispam gives you spam or not-spam. SpamFoo classifies email into buckets that actually mean something: Primary, Promotions, Updates, and Transactions.
Traditional spam filters make a single decision: is this email spam, or is it not? Everything that passes lands in one undifferentiated inbox. A shipping notification sits next to a colleague's reply, which sits next to a marketing newsletter, which sits next to a password reset code that expires in ten minutes.
Users end up doing the sorting themselves. Administrators end up writing rules to compensate. It's a problem that antispam products could solve but never bothered to, because the industry decided "not spam" was good enough.
SpamFoo doesn't just filter spam. It classifies every email into meaningful buckets that administrators and users can actually act on.
Industry-Standard Classifications
Primary
Direct correspondence from real people, plus the time-sensitive messages a recipient is actively waiting on, such as verification codes, 2FA codes, and password resets. The messages that actually need attention right now.
Promotions
Marketing emails, newsletters, deals, and promotional content. Not spam, but not urgent either. Users can check these on their own schedule instead of having them compete with real correspondence.
Updates
Automated notifications, social media alerts, service updates, and informational messages. Important enough to keep, but rarely require immediate action.
Transactions
Order confirmations, shipping notifications, and payment receipts. Records tied to a purchase or account activity that the recipient may want to keep and refer back to later.
Why Classification Matters for Administrators
Classification gives administrators and users something they've never had from their antispam: actionable structure. Build folder rules based on classification. Set different notification priorities. Let users configure how each classification is handled. Give Primary mail a priority queue so verification codes and password resets never get buried under a pile of newsletters.
SpamFoo's classification runs alongside its spam and phishing detection, using the same signals it already analyzes. Every email gets a classification and a spam decision in a single pass, all processed locally on your mail server.
