New Spam Filtering Service for Campus Email Users
In response to increasing numbers of unsolicited commercial emails (spam), on May 1, 2003 each of the campus email servers will begin scanning incoming and outgoing emails for spam. The filtering software selected for implementation will conduct a wide range of tests on email headers and body text. Based on the results of those tests, the software will identify and tag suspected spam. This new solution was developed to provide an automatic way of managing the proliferation of spam while minimizing the frustration resulting from unwanted commercial and often illicit email.
