Junk Mail Filter Sensitivity

M

Mark Watts

My users all over campus today started reporting a change in the sensitivity
of the Junk Mail Filter. None are using Cached Mode, so this is supposedly
not working, but all seem to have it set on "low" (default?).

None have reported any messages ever showing up in Junk Mail, and many
reported them going in, starting this morning (Feb 17). We use WSUS to
distribute updates, and none from the Feb batch have been sent out yet.

Anyone experiencing this problem, or have any insight as to what is happening?

Thanks
Mark

I'm experiencing the same thing! Started yesterday. They're going to junk on my Hotmail, so I'm thinking the problem lies there??

What exactly is your issue?
In which way did the sensitivity change and how are they affected?
As you said; without CEM enabled the filter does not work.

You cannot turn off the filter when you are using a Hotmail Connector
account in your mail profile since the filter settings sync with the web
client and the minimal level for the web client is "Low".

I am using outlook 2007 with the outlook connector. no changes in outlook
and all of a sudden people I communicate with are ending up in junk mail.
they are also on the safe list but still ending up in junk.
@facebookmail.com is ending up there also and that is a microsoft program I
think. charlie

I checked several of my email accounts and all have been filtering known addresses and domains to the junk folder. I am hesitant to lower the security level and filter level mainly because it will allow unknown senders to pass through. It looks as if its a "set up" to the user to get him or her to drop their security levels down. Now more than ever, if you dont have anti-virus installed, get one quick. I use avast and it catches pretty much everything including web streams. Be cautious!
