SPAM Filter

We are now using one of the most advanced SPAM filters on the internet. It continually adapts itself to detect spam. To do this effectively, it needs your input. When you receive a spam, report it to the spam filter to help improve its performance. To report spam to the spam filter, please forward the email to the filter using the instruction below. IMPORTANT: DO NOT forward spam to the technology department , ONLY to the filter as per below. This only works on accounts that are set to use the spam filter.)

To report spam:

  1. Select the message in your INBOX or your JUNK E-Mail folder
  2. Right-click and select "Forward."
  3. Address it to assp-spam@asspnospam.org and click send.
  4. Spam has been added to the spam filter's collection. You've done your part – thank you.

Basic operation of our spam filter:

  • Anyone you email will never have a message blocked. (White lists are created automatically from outgoing mail)
  • Never email spammers -- you validate their address authorizing them to spam us.
  • Don't forward spam to the technology department -- it makes the spam filter think we like it.
  • Report spam by forwarding it to the assp-spam@asspnospam.org address.
  • The spam filter keeps track of mail we send and spam we receive -- if an incoming message is not from someone we've emailed and it's more like the mail we send than the spam we receive then it gets through. Otherwise it's blocked and the sender gets the message, "Mail appears to be unsolicited -- report errors to postmaster@woodlandschools.org"
  • If you become aware that mail you want is being blocked send the sender an email so their mail isn't blocked any more.
