Information about the Campus Anti-SPAM Service
Starting September 11, 2006, CITS will be initiating a feature within the Campus Anti-SPAM service that will scan e-mails with the "umaryland.edu" domain. In the past, the campus did not have a need for scanning "umaryland.edu" e-mails for SPAM. Recently, however, spammers have begun to use the "umaryland.edu" domain for sending SPAM. They are creating "spoofed" e-mails which are messages appearing to be sent by the campus, when in fact, they are sent by a spammer. [More]... IT Security Strategy
