Question or Problem: How do I use the default CCIT spam identification system?

Solution: You can use the preferences tab in the default CCIT spam identification and filtering system to customize your particular spam identification and scoring preferences. These can be configured by using your email username (do not include @mines.edu) and password to log on to your spam filtering (http://cardea.mines.edu) account. If you need help configuring your preferences, please submit a request via the Mines Help Center (http://helpdesk.mines.edu). Due to overwhelming time constraints, CCIT can not administer personal whitelists and blacklists for individual users. If you wish to maintain them, you will need to administer them.

Notes: For a more complete discussion of junk email and instructions on how to filter it using common email programs, search the FAQfinder database more spam-related entries (http://ccit.mines.edu/faq/advanced.cgi?Category=Spam).

The CCIT spam system may identify legitimate email as spam if that email has certain spam-like characteristics; messages sent to a lot of different recipients, for instance, may resemble spam. To receive legitimate email that is erroneously marked as spam, modify your whitelist, a special listing of known senders whose email you wish to receive. Conversely and occasionally, spam may be identified as legitimate email. To block email messages from known spam sources, modify your "blacklist," a listing of known senders whose email you wish not to receive in any circumstances.

Blacklists, whitelists, and other options are found under the preferences section once you log in to the spam identification system at the link above.

For more on how the term "spam" came to refer to junk email, as opposed to "potted luncheon meat", see the explanation given by technology guru Brad Templeton (http://www.templetons.com/brad/spamterm.html). This is an external site not affiliated with the Colorado School of Mines.
