Dealing with Spam
What is Spam?
Spam is generally unsolicited e-mail. It is often commercial, but it can include messages from individuals. We would consider sending unsolicited messages to even a few people to be spam. What you might think is important for everyone to know might not be so to someone else.
School related messages to distribution groups is not considered spam.
What do we do about Spam?
We have a filtering device on our network that blocks spam. In the first two years of its use, it blocked over 2 million messages. That averages out to about 17 messages each day for every user.
Training the Spam Filter
Daily, you will receive Quarantine Summary messages that show other messages that the system has quarantined as suspected spam. Click on the appropriate links in those system messages to delete, whitelist, or mark messages as spam.
Do not send copies of your spam messages to me.
