How to Block Spam Emails

 

With the large amount of junk email and spam that is traversing the Internet today, it can take a large amount of time to weed through the junk to find your legitimate emails. There actually is an easy to take care of the spam you're receiving. Just follow these steps:



**NOTE that this will only work on campus through the GroupWise 6.5 client. If you do not have version 6.5, please go to this page.

1. Open up GroupWise to where you have your message list on the right hand side, but don't open any emails.
2. Click on the spam email with your right mouse button, then go down to Junk Mail, then to Block Sender.
3. It will bring up a new window with two options - Block email from this address and Block any email from this internet domain.
4. If the email comes from somewhere that you might receive legitimate email from in the future (such as user@msn.com; user@insightbb.com; user@aol.com) make sure that you don't use the second option, or your legitimate emails will be deleted as well.
5. If it is from somewhere that you will never receive legitimate email (such as user@fqyz.com; user@new.email.test.com) you can feel free to use the second option.
6. Select the option you want to use, then click the OK button.
If you have any questions or problems, please feel free to contact the IT office at x6488.
