Using rules to stop SPAM
Task:
Using rules to stop SPAM in GroupWise.
How to do it:
These instructions take advantage of the SPAM marking feature provided
to you by IronMail. IronMail automatically marks the subject lines of
messages that are most likely SPAM. You can use that marking to your advantage
and in turn, the amount of SPAM that makes it to your inbox will be greatly
reduced.
- Open up GroupWise and access your e-mail account.
- Click "Tools" from the top menu and choose "Rules".
- Click the "New" button to create a new rule.
- Enter a name for your rule. For example, call it "Block SPAM".
- Set your "When Event is" to "New Item" and "Received".
These are the default settings.
- Click the "Mail" checkbox underneath "Item types".
- Click the "Define Conditions" button.
- Select "Subject" from the drop-down menu.
- Click the middle gray button and select "Begins with".
- Enter "{ SPAM ? }" into the text field, without the quotes.
Be mindful to put a single space between the curly brackets.
- Click the "OK" button.
- Click the "Add Action" button and select "Move to Folder".
- Select the checkbox next to your "Junk Mail" folder.
- Click the "Move" button.
- Click the "Save" button.
- If you have more than one rule in your Rules folder, make sure to
move your new spam rule to the top of the list. You can do this by clicking
and dragging the rule to the top.
- Click "Close" to close out the rules dialog box.
- Your rule is now in place and all messages that IronMail marks as SPAM will be sent to your Junk Mail folder.
