How to Filter your Mail in Eudora 3.0

In a more aggressive effort to combat spam, the USP Information Technology Department will be flagging suspected spam e-mail in the subject line of e-mail you receive.

Any e-mail you receive that is suspected of being spam will have [SPAM] on the subject line. Additionally, we will be flagging some e-mail with the word [EVALUATE] in the subject line. We are using this to flag e-mail that may or may not be spam, meaning that you should evaluate for yourself whether the e-mail is legitimate or not.

If a legitimate e-mail is flagged incorrectly, please forward the e-mail to helpdesk@usp.edu so that we may correct it for the future.
