Here is a list of a few things that you can do to reduce the amount of junk email you receive.

1. ITS has implemented MailFrontier as its spam solution. Visit MailFrontier-CCSU'S Anti-Spam Solution for more information, or call the Help Desk at 832-1720.

2. Do not respond to junk email or try to unsubscribe. The reason is the moment you try to unsubscribe or respond to the junk email, the spammer knows that the account is valid and will keep using it and will sell it to other spammers as an active account.

3. Do not post to news groups. The reason is that spammers look at news groups to get email addresses and then will start spamming these addresses.

4. Utilize the email rules option in Outlook.  You can create rules that will remove emails from certain senders, with a specific word in the subject or body of the email message.  For more information on how to create rules in Outlook, click here for Outlook XP instructions, click here for Outlook 2000 instructions, or click here for Outlook 2003 instructions.
