UH implemented PureMessage, a new spam reduction tool, on May 18th, 2005, for users of the mail.uh.edu and central.uh.edu mail servers.
Benefits of PureMessage
- Increased accuracy of spam detection = up to 98% reduction of spam
- Offers user configurable options
- Provides an additional layer of virus protection
- More space in your mailbox - quarantined email doesn't count against your disk quota
- Detects and blocks virus-infected email messages and attachments on their way onto the UH network
Who Is and Is Not Affected by PureMessage
- Users of mail.uh.edu and central.uh.edu mail servers are benefiting from the deployment of PureMessage.
- If you currently receive email messages containing "*****SPAM*****" in your message subject line, you probably ARE affected by this deployment.
- If you don't receive your mail on mail.uh.edu or central.uh.edu mail servers, you ARE NOT affected by the deployment of PureMessage.
- If your mail is redirected to other non-UH mailboxes (e.g., Yahoo or Hotmail), you ARE NOT affected by the deployment of PureMessage.
