Configuring the GroupWise Client for Spam Protection

The Junk Mail Handling feature in the GroupWise client is enabled by default, although you can control its functionality in ConsoleOne (Domain, Post Office, or User object > Tools menu > GroupWise Utilities > Client Options > Environment > General tab).

The Junk Mail Handling feature provides users with the following options for dealing with unwanted messages that have not been stopped by the Internet Agent:

• Individual e-mail addresses or entire Internet domains can be placed on the user's Block List. Messages from blocked addresses never arrive in the user's mailbox.
• Individual e-mail addresses or entire Internet Domains can be placed on the user's Junk List. Messages from these addresses are automatically delivered to the Junk Mail folder in the user's mailbox. The user can configure automatic deletion of items in the Junk Mail folder and can also create rules to act on items placed in the Junk Mail folder.
• Messages from users whose addresses are not in the user's personal address books can be automatically delivered to the Junk Mail folder.

For detailed usage instructions for the Junk Mail Handling feature in the GroupWise client, see "Handling Unwanted Mail" in "Working with Items in Your Mailbox" in the GroupWise 6.5 Windows Client User Guide.

The Junk Mail Handling feature is not available in the GroupWise WebAccess client.
