Information Technology Services asks the campus community for continued patience and understanding regarding the problem of "spam."

We recognize that an increasing amount of spam (often pornographic in nature) is finding its way into your mailboxes. Although our filters stop an average of 30,000 spam messages a day, we cannot block them all without also blocking legitimate e-mail.

We continue to investigate alternative solutions to this growing problem. In the meantime, please continue to delete any spam that bypasses our filters.

To avoid accidentally viewing offensive material, we recommend turning off the GroupWise QuickViewer. You can toggle the QuickViewer window on and off through the GroupWise View menu.

Tips for staying off spammers' lists are available on the ITS Web site.
