Spam-filter

Anne-Marthe Leinebø

A more aggressive spam-filter is scanning all incoming mail. Hopefully this will result in most of unwatend mail to be marked with ***SPAM***. By creating a message filter you may put all messages marked with ***SPAM*** in it's own folder.

NB! Sometimes e-mails that you want may be marked as ***SPAM*** so you should always pay attention to the sender before you delete these e-mails.

In order to have all ***SPAM***-marked mail to go into it's own folder, you have to do some changes in webmail. Login at Webmail.umb.no and choose "Folders". Here you have to create a new folder (unless you want it to go to one of your existing folders).

Then go to "Options" and "Message filters". Choose "New" and change to these values:
- What to scan: Only unread messages
- Match: Subject
- Contains: SPAM
- Move to: INBOX.spam (or another folder of your choise)
Press "Submit"
