Before You BeginPlease be aware that ONLY Faculty and Staff are able to configure this spam filter. 

Students use a different version of Outlook Web Access and will be unable to configure this rule.  Students needing to configure a spam filter will need to do so using the application version of Outlook. 

If you are a student and do not have the application version of Outlook on your personal computer you can configure a spam filter using a computer in any of the 3 open labs on campus. For more information please contact the ITS HelpDesk at 810-766-6804 or itshelpdesk@umflint.edu. Configuring a Spam Filter Rule in OWA 2007
