What is Monash University doing to reduce Spam?
Monash University is undertaking several measures to reduce spam. Gateway spam filtering has been enabled for all student email accounts. Emails with an extremely high spam probability will be discarded prior to delivery or forwarding. This happens before email is delivered to your account. (This will not affect student email accounts that forward email to external accounts). Emails that are discarded are not retrievable and this setting cannot be changed. In addition, spam filters have been enabled by default on all email accounts. Once delivered, any emails which are determined to be spam by the ITS mail servers will be filtered into a separate ‘spam’ folder rather than being delivered . Spam messages are still able to viewed, and the contents of the folder is deleted every 30 days.
