How to filter Junk Mail (spam) with your mail software:

LEK has implemented software that attempts to identify known phrases and common mistakes made by devious "spammers". Instead of deleting or defering delivery of this email, our systems are injecting invisible headers in the message, and if the message is spam, the system inserts a report in the message header to describe what "tests" the message failed. These tests explain why a message exceeded the threshold. Customers are advised that this software will tag legitimate email as spam in some rare instances

LEK customers have many choices in how to proceed:

  • First, you can choose to do absolutely nothing, and let your mail messages come into your regular mailbox as modified. You should not see any changes in the way your mail works, as the tags for spam are entirely hidden in the message header fields.

  • Second, depending upon your choice of software for mail reading, you have the option of filtering identified spam and moving it (automatically) into a temporary directory for later review. (Highly recommended for individuals with serious spam problems)

    Configuring most mail clients (Eudora, Netscape, Outlook) usually takes no more than five minutes. We provide step by step suggestions on the pages to follow. Click Here For Directions On Filtering Your Spam Locally
