3.6.1 Understanding Junk Mail Handling

Blocking or junking e-mail applies to items that you receive from the Internet. Internet e-mail
includes all e-mail where the sender's address is in the form of name@example.com,
name@example.org, and so forth.
Junk Mail Handling does not apply to internal e-mail. Internal e-mail is e-mail where the sender is
part of your GroupWise system and the From field shows only the name of the sender, not an
Internet address as explained above. If you want to block or junk internal e-mail, you can use Rules.
(For more information, see
You have three options for blocking or junking Internet e-mail:
Block list: You can add individual e-mail addresses or entire Internet domains to a Block List.
Items from these addresses or Internet domains are blocked and never arrive in your Mailbox.
An Internet domain is the part of the e-mail address that comes after the @. For example, in the
address Henry@example.com, the Internet domain is example.com.
However, e-mail from contacts in your Frequent Contact address book and your corporate
address book is not blocked.
Addresses and domains: You can add individual e-mail addresses or entire Internet domains
to a Junk List. Items from these addresses or Internet domains are delivered to the Junk Mail
folder in your Mailbox. You can specify that the items in this folder be automatically deleted
after a certain number of days.
Personal address book: You can specify that any e-mail items from users whose addresses are
not in your personal address books (including your Frequent Contacts address book and any
personal address books you have created) are sent to the Junk Mail folder. This is sometimes
called "white listing."
For information about the Junk Mail folder, see
In addition to the Block List and Junk List, there is a Trust List. Use this list to add e-mail addresses
or Internet domains that you do not want blocked or junked, no matter what is specified in the other
two lists. For example, you might have example.com in your Block List, but you have one friend
whose address is myfriend@example.com. You can add this friend's e-mail address to the Trust List.
See "Preventing E-Mail From a User or Internet Domain From Being Junked or Blocked" on
page 96.
If you specify Junk Mail Handling options in Caching mode, make sure to synchronize with your
Online Mailbox in order to see the same options when you log in to GroupWise on another
computer.
Your system administrator can turn off Junk Mail Handling so that it is not available.
