# Filter out spam submissions from your lead funnel 

> Configure real-time spam check to disqualify/route spam leads with RevenueHero

Spam submissions clutter inbound funnels, waste rep time, and distort metrics. Preventing them is critical to keeping only real prospects in the pipeline. RevenueHero filters out spam at the source, ensuring reps focus only on qualified leads.\
\
This can be enabled on the router or on specific rules.

<Note>
  Spam prevention applies only to [Inbound routers](/routers/inbound/create-inbound-router) i.e scheduling on your website or through an Inbound link.
</Note>

<Note>
  RevenueHero utilizes [Zerbounce statuses](https://www.zerobounce.net/docs/email-list-validation/status-codes/) to determine spam emails.
