New configuration on the central mail server
The IT Services (ITS) has made the following configuration change on its central mail server: From now on, internal emails originating from the mail domain “ethz.ch” and all its sub domains “*.ethz.ch” will be marked as trusted and will not be treated as junk mail, even if some of them “should” land in the Outlook Junk Folder. Official emails sent by the ETH SAP system will henceforth no longer be filtered, as was often the case up to now. Unwanted emails have to be “black-listed” by the user on their Outlook client (“Personal Blacklist”).
No Change:
External emails will continue to be screened centrally before they reach the mail server. Junk mail will be refused or delivered marked as “!SPAM” in the subject line, according to the user setting in nethz.
Spam Filter and Junk-Mail
Generally, the junk mail folder in Outlook should be checked regularly. If there are legitimate emails in this folder, the corresponding sender can be included in a “Personal White List”. Future emails from these senders will no longer be treated as junk: Right click the email header> “Junk E-mail> No Junk E-mail” or for individual filter configurations see “Spam Filter at ETH Zurich“.
