ITS Seeks Volunteers to Battle Spam at UNM

Feeling overrun by spam? ITS is looking for volunteers with University of New Mexico e-mail addresses ending in @unm.edu or @salud.unm.edu to join the battle against spam.

ITS already blocks what amounts to 50 spam e-mails per person per day, that's approximately three million total spam e-mails per day. You've seen the spam tag, similar to [SPAM?? 61%] in the subject line of your e-mail that shows that the probability is high that the e-mail is spam, but it doesn't meet enough criteria to be blocked. As the filtering is refined fewer spam e-mails will appear in UNM in boxes.

You can help by forwarding your untagged spam to spamdrop@unm.edu. Please only forward spam that is not tagged. See FastInfo answer 3708 or go to: Spam E-mail for forwarding instructions.
