I don’t know. There’s a Microsoft Web Access icon, but no other identifier. Is that it? A MS e-mail program, came bundled with Windows or something?
So you’re reading your email inside your web browser (which filters abolutely nothing and is inherently clumsy and totally the wrong tool to view emails with)? Ugh.
Ask if you can read your email with a dedicated email program, and then ask whether it’s IMAP (sucks) or POP (real email).
I’ll do that. I won’t be back to work until fall, but I’ll ask.
The other quibble I have with the program is that (apparently) nobody has set up address lists. E-mails about scheduling, cancellations, testing, etc. is sent to everyone, not just the students or teachers involved.
Big waste of time, all 'round.
We currently use an outside filtering service. All of our email is sent to another place, they filter it, then pass it on. Usually only adds about 30 seconds to the email transit. The two biggies in this are Appriver and Microsoft Exchange Hosted Email, formerly Frontbridge.
For a company to do it themselves, the Barracuda box is good, so it GFI Mail Essentials. The usually suspects (Symantec, Mcafee, Trend) really don’t do that great, and are a pain to maintain.
For the end user, Spambayes is pretty good. Sounds like you all use Exchange/Outlook, so Spambayes would work with that.
OTOH, the client app used for reading email shouldn’t matter if the spam is filtered on the server side.
