Spam Filtering at ASU
Studies show that the amount of spam sent in 2006 increased by 120%. Allowing this much spam into our email system leads to slowness, rejected mail, and many other problems. To ensure that the ASU community can safely rely on email as a method of communication, a spamcheck utility has been created.
ASU has implemented a border spam solution that will drop high probability spam before it reaches the email systems. Because we understand the need to know what mail may have been dropped at the ASU border, we offer a website where you can check the messages which have been blocked for your email addresses. That site can be found at https://spamcheck.asu.edu.
However, not all spam will be caught by this system. Gmail for ASU and Exchange email subscribers will also have quarantine folders located in their respective mailboxes. White lists and black lists can be applied at these mailboxes.
