Ya know, Matrix is running SpamAssassin before our email server. Do you know that I have NEVER ONCE gotten one of these emails? Unfortunately, we can't afford to have all Music faculty on our exchange system, yet. So... Of course, they keep getting them and like... Well... Some users... They actually send the info. So far, we've caught it before anything happens, and are able to change the password. I've noticed that a lot of users are getting a lot of spam that I do not. Is there any plan to look at or consider a change to the spam filtering or the entire system that MSU uses? Honestly, I don't think I could handle using my MSU account these days with all the crap others are getting. I get MAYBE 6 or 7 spam a week with our setup. And I've got MSU users that are getting 50 a day. Just curious. -dak -Network Admin -College of Music, MSU [log in to unmask] -http://comit.music.msu.edu -517.432.5045 On 7/1/08 9:54 AM, "Brian Martinez" <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > John Resotko wrote: >> You'll probably want to warn your users about this as yet another attempt, >> and not a very good one, to trick people out of their MSU Net ID and >> password.
