3.6 Handling Unwanted Email (Spam)
Use Junk Mail Handling to decide what to do with unwanted Internet email, also known as spam, that is sent to your GroupWise email address.
3.6.1 Understanding Junk Mail Handling
Internet email includes all email where the sender’s address is in the form of name@example.com, name@example.org, and so forth. Internal email is email where the sender is part of your GroupWise system and the field shows only the name of the sender, not an Internet address.
An Internet domain is the part of the email address that comes after the @. For example, in the address Henry@example.com, the Internet domain is example.com.
For information about the Junk Mail folder, see Junk Mail Folder.
Your GroupWise administrator can turn off Junk Mail Handling so that it is not available.
3.6.2 Blocking or Junking Email
If you want to block or junk internal email, you can use rules. (For more information, see Section 8.3, Creating a Rule.) For example, you can create a Delete rule that moves all items from a specific email address or entire Internet domains to your Trash folder. Or you can use the following procedure to create a Move to Folder rule that moves items with a specified subject to your Junk Mail folder.
