To change spam filtering and other options, log into your account via the Enhanced Webmail link located at http://mail.uci.net.

Click on Utilities or Settings depending upon your Interface and then click on Spam Settings.

There are five options:

1. Spam Detection Level: Specify the level to mark a message as Spam, a value of 10 will mark only the most obvious messages as spam, where a value of 1 will use a more aggressive filter to determine if a message is of Spam origin.
2. Spam Treatment:
   1. The default setting for treatment of spam is to mark it as spam, but deliver it to your Inbox.
   2. As an alternative, you may choose to have spam sent to your spam folder which can only be accessed via Enhanced Webmail.
   3. The last option is to "bounce it", but since most spam does not come from valid email addresses this option is not advised.
3. Spam Tag gives you the ability to put a custom remark of your choice on messages that are marked as spam.
4. Bayesian Filtering: Auto Learn allows your filter to learn from your actions. When you mark a message as Spam either by moving it to the Spam Folder or by right clicking on the spam message and selecting "mark as spam" it will gradually learn what messages you consider spam and filter them appropriately within Enhanced Webmail.
5. Accept Whitelist Mail Only: If you select this option you will only receive mail from addresses that are on your whitelist.

After making any changes, be sure to click on the Save button.

You may also set up a trusted senders list and a blacklist, by entering addresses in those sections.
