Outlook FAQ: E-Mail
How can I control spam?
NOTE: We also recommend you visit the U-M Spam Busters website.
The ITCS Exchange Service offers the Brightmail spam detection system, but you have to create a rule in Outlook for it to work.
IMPORTANT! If you've already created the Brightmail rule, make certain it is the first item in your list of rules and checked.
- Select your Inbox.
- From the Tools menu, select Rules and Alerts
- In the Rules and Alerts window, if your Brightmail rule is not at the top as shown here, follow the steps to move it to the top.
