Is it possible that messages I send will be filtered into other university community members junk mail folders?
If you’re using your university e-mail account to send messages, this should occur only very rarely. Certain variables could cause this to happen, such as forwarding spam, including images in messages, sending HTML links, or including words commonly used in spam messages. If you are using an external e-mail account (such as Gmail, Yahoo, or Hotmail) to send messages to someone at the university, it is unlikely, but possible, that your message could be mistakenly marked as spam, even if you are using an @umd.edu address as your sending address. This is the reason we encourage university community members to check their junk mail folders regularly for legitimate messages.
