Does NYU have a spam filter?
Yes, ITS has implemented a spam filter in NYUHome. You can also use this new filtering tool with other desktop email clients such as Outlook, Macintosh Mail, Netscape Messenger, or Eudora (available on the ITS-Licensed Software page). In the NYUHome mail client (Messenger Express) this filter is turned on and set to “Light” by default. If you use a non-NYU email client, you will have to configure the filter yourself. You can help to train our spam filtering software by forwarding as attachments spam email messages you receive to is.spam@nyu.edu. (In order for the training to work, spam emails must be forwarded as attachments, not as inline text.) For more information about the spam filter, see the Spam Filtering at NYU page.
