Making a Spam Control Filter in Eudora (POP users)
If you have enabled Spam Control for your Case email account, you will need to make a Junk folder and filter in your email program.
Note: Only use these instructions if you are using POP mail, if you are using IMAP follow the mail.case.edu instructions. A folder will automatically be created in Eudora after setting it up on mail.case.edu. An explanation of POP and IMAP.
To create a folder in Eudora and set it up for the Spam Control Junk Mail filter you will need to:
- Open Eudora
- Go to 'Mailboxes' and choose 'New'
- Name the new folder 'Junk'
- Go to 'Tools' and select 'filters'
- Click 'New'
- The 'Incoming' box should be checked automatically. Next to 'Header:' select '<Any Header>'
- Next to the box 'Contains' type in +junk
- In the 'action' section, select the first 'None' box and change it to 'Transfer to:'
- Click on the 'In' default mailbox, a pull down menu will appear of all your mailboxes, select the 'Junk' mail box.
- Close filters by clicking the X in the upper right hand corner and when prompted click 'Yes' to save changes to filters.
- Go to the Spam Control web page. You will need to log in with your Case Network User ID and password. Click on 'Junk Mail Filter' and under 'Junk-mail options' select to enable junk-mail filtering (by default this will be set to disabled). Click OK.
If you have trouble logging on to the page, try another web browser. The page opens automatically to the White list. Note that the White list will not take effect until you enable mail filtering. - If you like, adjust your personal Accept and Reject lists.
Note: Accept and Reject Lists have no effect if Spam Control is disabled.
You are now using the Spam Control system to filter junk mail!
Note: These instructions were written with Eudora version 6.0, earlier or later versions may vary.
