Continuing our efforts to keep the UCI campus network a safe and productive environment, NACS has extended its virus blocking and spam labeling (“tagging”) services. Originally limited to the primary campus mail servers (which process email addressed to users “@uci.edu”), these services are now in operation on our central email systems: EA, E4E, pop.uci.edu, imap.uci.edu, and smtp.uci.edu. This means that messages sent directly to users on these machines (bypassing “@uci.edu”) now enjoy these protective measures.
Messages delivered to you that have been identified by the new services as spam will include the following headers:
X-NACS_ES-MailScanner-SpamCheck:
X-NACS_ES-MailScanner-SpamScore:
You must make a change to your email software’s configuration to detect the new headers and take advantage of the additional mail filtering. Please see the online documentation at http://www.nacs.uci.edu/email/header_filters.html for more information. Check back there periodically, because the information on that site will be refined as we gain experience and as we receive your feedback. Please let us know how these new services are working for you.
