Tools to Reduce Spam

We recommend that you use a combination of tools for best results.

  • Do Not Spam List

    Rejects e-mail from known sources of spam. This will reduce, but not eliminate spam. Many spammers switch identities frequently and therefore avoid being listed as a known spam source. Using the list is a good first step in reducing spam. More Info.

  • SpamBox

    Puts suspected spam messages in a SpamBox folder, where you can do a quick check for any messages you might want to keep before deleting the spam. Use SpamBox to keep the spam messages that get past the Do Not Spam List from cluttering your INBOX. More Info.

  • Members-Only Groups

    Set your discussion-oriented mail groups so that only the group members can send mail to the group. Do not use this setting for groups that need to be able to receive mail from outside the group. More Info.
