Hate SPAM? RINET Can Help.
RINET Tags Unsolicited Bulk Email (UBE)
Effective January 13, 2003, RINET will begin tagging the subject line
of suspected SPAM email messages with the identifier [UBE?] (Unsolicited
Bulk Email). End users may delete individual messages using
this tag as a guide and/or set filters on their email client to file
suspected emails to a user-specified “junk email” folder
or mailbox.
Why Not Just Delete Suspected SPAM?
Filters that block SPAM are imperfect and occasionally block e-mail
a user would prefer to see. Tagging potential SPAM is the least intrusive,
most helpful solution that also eliminates the possibility of an important
piece of e-mail being inadvertently “thrown out” by the
filtering software.
Moving [UBE?]-tagged E-mail to Another Mailbox
or Folder for Later Consideration
Since RINET flags potential email messages that may be “SPAM”
with the tag [UBE?] inserted at the beginning of the subject line,
you can filter [UBE?]-tagged messages to automatically transfer them
to another folder or mailbox for later consideration. Please remember
to periodically review and delete messages in the Potential Spam folder/mailbox.
Below are instructions to create filters for the most popular e-mail
clients.
