Anti-Spam Quarantine

One of the methods UTSA employs to protect our users from unwanted mail is the Sybari Anti-Spam Quarantine system.  You can use the system to block mail from unwanted users or domains, or allow e-mail to reach you from addresses you know to be good.

 

Managing your Anti-Spam Rules

To manage your anti-spam rules (i.e. which e-mail addresses or domains to allow or deny access to send to you), you will need to login to the Anti-Spam Quarantine system.  We recommend using Internet Explorer as your web browser, as other browsers (such as Firefox) do not currently work correctly with this site.

Login with using your network ID and password.  You will enter the Rules Editor page of the system.

You can either Edit an existing rule, Delete a no-longer needed rule, or Add a new rule:

In the "From Address or Domain Name:" field, either enter the e-mail address (user@domain.com) or the domain (domain.com, no @ sign) you wish to work with.  Then choose to either Approve Source to allow e-mail to bypass the Anti-Spam filter and reach you, or Block Source to prevent mail from that user or domain from reaching you.
