I wonder if I am doing all I can to filter them out. Is is possible for ICIT to offer a workshop on how to filter out/manage spam on our UWW email accounts.

This doesn't take that much time to delete. However, when considering the total amount of time each day that UWW staff & students spend deleting SPAM messages, it seems that it would be more cost effective for the Unviersity to have less SPAM getting through.

I'm more concerned about not getting an important message than with needing to delete a lot of messages, most of which are obviously SPAM and take very little time to identify. Actually, sometimes it's a relief to discover that I don't have to answer 60% of what's in my mailbox!

Some I have come to recognize and others I have to check to make sure they are not legitimate messages. Some of the material being received is simply rude. I would appreciate a higher level of filtering. I would be much faster for me to retrieve any that get filtered.

It has also caused my mailbox to get full when I've been on vacation. I'd prefer to have the school very active in controling this, even if it means the stuff goes into a spam folder where I can then quickly glance for legit email and then just delete it all at once. The university should block the most obvious spam. It would be fine for us to have the option to control it but the automatic settings should be higher and then be able to lessen it if we really want to. One less thing to deal with, means I can spend my time on more valuable projects.

It only takes a few seconds. It takes longer to go through the junk to look for legitimate emails. I would rather delete the ones that are spam myself. It only takes a few seconds.

I have managed to filter out e-mails with certain words in the body or subject lines. This has put an end to a lot of the e-mails with drug names or sexual references from getting through.

I like the set up ICIT currently has in place. It has been my experience that as long as you block the senders when you get emails you don't want, there is not an escalation of junk mail.
