How Can I Filter Spam?

As you may know, our spam filtering software tags any junk e-mail messages sent to you with "***SPAM***" in the subject line.  You will need to use your e-mail client to filter that e-mail.  We suggest that you make a new folder specifically for this purpose, and send all e-mail tagged as spam to that folder which you can then check periodically to make sure that no legitimate e-mail was accidentally tagged as spam. Once you are sure that all the e-mail in that folder is spam, you can then delete the contents of that folder.

Below are instructions on how to filter e-mail with the four most common e-mail clients. If your e-mail client is not listed 
here, you will need to consult your help documentation for instructions on how to filter e-mail.
