Introduction
Unsolicited commercial email, or "spam," has been a big problem for many users. All email coming into Hampshire's mail server is scanned to determine if it meets the criteria for spam; if it does, the subject line is marked with a ">>>SPAM<<<" tag, and it is diverted to the addressee's junk folder. You can opt to have spam delivered to your inbox if you prefer.
 
Changing where Spam is Delivered
Most people will want spam to be put in their junk folder, but if you have configured your email client to use the "POP" protocol you won't be able to see your junk folder. To have spam delivered to your inbox, go to https://password.hampshire.edu and login with your HampNet username and password. Select "Email Settings" and change the option under "Spam Scanning."

White and Black Lists
A "white list" is a list of addresses from which you always want to receive the email. A "black list" is a list of addresses for which all incoming messages should be considered spam. This allows you to accept or reject mail from a given address regardless of whether the message would be caught by the spam filter.
