In order to combat the ever-increasing
amount of spam (junk-email) that everyone receives, Vastcom
has deployed a tool known as SpamAssassin (http://www.spamassassin.org).
SpamAssassin uses an extensive rule base to catch spam. All
email will be run through SpamAssassin. If the email is
determined to be spam,
***SPAM*** will be placed at
the beginning of the subject. You can set up a simple
'rule' in Outlook to send all spam to a named folder. You
will then be able to check the folder for 'false
spam' before deleting all
the spam messages.
