Spam Identification System Reactivated
Software - Saturday May 21, 2005 12:07 AM -05:00 UTC
The spam identification system has been reactivated for all IrthNet email accounts.
Identification of spam was chosen rather than outright blocking to guard against the elimination of emails that are not truly spam. Using identification means that you, the end user, have control over what to do with email spam you receive.
Keep reading for what an example spam will look like and how you can configure your email client to automatically handle it.
To: user@domain.com
From: spammer@spamsource.com
Subject: SPAM Get the perfect mortgage fast. It’s simple.
… The spam message …
In order to handle this message automatically you can create a “rule” to have your email client look for the “*SPAM*” in the subject line. When it finds it you could have it route the message to a spam folder for later examination (you should examine all messages identified as spam just in case they’re not; the system’s not infallible).
To create rules in Outlook Express v6 acess the Tools menu to Message Rules to Mail.
To create rules in Netscape/Mozilla Navigator access the Tools menu then Message Filters.
