Preventing Spam
Some University of Alabama email accounts receive a large number
of “spam” messages. Be aware that this is a university-wide
problem and not limited to the College Arts and Sciences. The
HelpDesk uses SpamAssassin as a weapon against spam for Bama email.
Mail delivered to Bama accounts can be automatically scanned through
SpamAssassin, even if the message is forwarded to another
email address. Click
here to set up your Bama account to forward to
another email client. Instructions for configuring several common
email programs can be found
here. If you forward to your Bama email account from another
email address, you still may be able to take advantage of the
SpamAssassin filter.
