I am pleased to announce NSIT's new spam and virus filtering system.  On Thursday, October 28th, NSIT will begin filtering spam and viruses from email sent to @uchicago.edu or @midway.uchicago.edu addresses.  After this date, identifiable viruses will be blocked.  Probable spam will be held in a temporary quarantine.  You will receive a daily list of quarantined messages with instructions on releasing messages if necessary.  Unfortunately, it is impossible to block all viruses or spam, but this system will dramatically reduce the amount of junk email delivered to our users.  Because of the volume of requests we have had for this service, NSIT will be automatically enabling it for all users on the day it goes into production.  You will not need to do anything to activate it.  For more information on using this system (or opting out of it), see        http://support.uchicago.edu/junkmail  We hope this new service will help improve the quality of your email experience.
