Antispam system

UWA has implemented a commercial anti-spam filtering tool that can automatically identify email that is likely to be spam as it comes into the campus, and mark it so that it can be automatically refiled to a junk email folder.

The software also adds a tag [SPAM] to the subject of a message so they are easily identified by users. As it is possible for a message to be incorrectly recognised as spam (false positives), email will only be tagged [Spam] and not deleted from the central server.

Antispam FAQ - on the anti-spam filtering tool.
Technical Details - these details are provided for support staff or users to allow them to configure their own filtering solutions that use the UWA email system.
