SPAM

In early September, 2006 a Barracuda Spam Filter (http://www.barracudanetworks.com/) was installed to reduce the amount of spam mail entering our system. If you removed the tagged messages from the delivered today, only a small percentage of all incoming mail is being delivered. Tagged messages are marked with [BULK] in the subject line. These messages are most likely spam, but the message doesn't score high enough for removal. Each day delivered messages are reviewed and spam is identified so that the system can "Learn" new spam patterns.
