GroupWise 6.5 Junk Mail Handling July 28, 2004

Configuring Junk Mail Handling Junk Mail Handling enables you to have actions taken automatically on any junk mail you receive, such as deleting the mail automatically. Junk Mail Handling also enables you to block from a certain address, or to allow from others.

Junk Mail Handling Continued Junk Mail Handling is not enabled by default. When you enable it, a new folder, called the Junk Mail folder, is created in your Folder List box. Any mail that you deemed junk mail will be placed into this folder automatically upon arrival. Junk mail is identified from an address YOU specified as a junk address.

Trust List A Junk Mail Handling list to which you add addresses or domains from which you want to receive messages. Not really necessary. Maybe helpful if you wanted to block a domain but wanted a trust address under that domain. I would not recommend using unless you are very sure what you are doing.
