Spam Filtering is Now Available! Note: Spam filtering requires implementation on your part.
ITS is pleased to announce the implementation of a NEW email message filtering product designed to identify spam.
All messages pass through a variety of tests, resulting in a score indicating the likelihood of it being spam. This score can be used to create rules to move or delete these messages from your Inbox.
While we cannot guarantee that all spam will be caught, this is a flexible tool that YOU can modify to make it more efficient at identifying spam.
ITS is offering courses to assist you in implementing the filtering tool.
For a list of dates and times, please see:

If you have a UNIX email account (@albany.edu), you should attend the Webmail course even if you use other email software — rules set up in Webmail will act on the mail server before the mail gets to your Inbox.
- Course C04 is set up for filtering in Outlook/Exchange and course
- Course C05 is for Webmail filtering.
