1 Spam Wrangling on UC Berkeley's CalMail

2

3 Spam detection CalMail uses Sophos PureMessage, running on CommuniGate Pro's front-end servers PureMessage assigns a spam "probability" to each message

4 Spam tagging Messages are tagged with custom x- headers identifying their spam "probabilities" Highly probable spam messages are also tagged with a subject line prefix: Subject: [SPAM:XXXXXXXXII] make money Client email programs can filter on these tags

5 Server-side filtering Via a Web interface, CalMail users can enable and configure filtering: –Minimum probability level –Retention period Filtered messages go into a standard IMAP folder, "spam", where users can view and manage them

6

7 Headers for deleted spam Headers for messages automatically deleted from the spam folder within the last 30 days are saved Users can view these headers, and contact senders if necessary

8

9 New spam handling defaults On October 1, 2004, CalMail's defaults will change. All messages with 70%+ spam probability will be: –Filtered to the "spam" folder; and –Automatically deleted after 30 days Users can change these settings via a Web interface Users who have previously configured these settings will not be affected
