How To: Create a Spam Filter for Campus Email
If you wish to delete the messages that have "[SPAM]" in the subject line you can setup a filter to delete these messages.
You can do this in your PC/Mac email client, but the best solution is to set up a server based rule using our https://occowa.orangecoastcollege.net web mail interface. Using a server based rule will move unwanted messages to the deleted folder before you download your mail.
When using OWA, this setup can only be done from a PC using Internet Explorer.
Follow these steps to setup a rule using "occowa":
- Using a Internet Explorer go to the URL:
'https://occowa.orangecoastcollege.net'
- Login using occnet\<your username> and your Password.
- From the leftmost column, toward the bottom of the page, select the 'Rules' folder.
- Select 'New...' at the top of the main section of the page.
- Name the Rule SPAM
- Fifth line from the top and right of 'Subject contains' enter [SPAM]
- Under the 'Then' portion select the 'Delete it' radio button.
- Next in the upper left select 'Save and Close'.
- If a 'Web Page Dialog' box appears warning about changing rules, select 'OK'.
Now the server will delete the messages marked as [SPAM] automatically.
