(1) To select data. Filters use patterns (masks) against which all data are compared and only matching data are "passed through," hence the concept of a filter. For example, e-mail clients and servers can look for messages with text patterns that are recognized as spam and delete them. An e-mail client can be set up to filter messages and store them in separate mailboxes as a way of organizing the mail, or it can be set to alert the user when a certain type of message arrives. See Bayesian filtering and spam filter.
