SPAM Control at NIU

CanIt-Pro Anti-Spam Software

All messages sent to GroupWise and student webmail accounts are scanned by CanIt-Pro for viruses and spam. 

CanIt-Pro software detects spam by analyzing message content and structure to find common spam indicators. There is no human intervention.

Spam scanning is not 100% effective.  Some unwanted spam messages may be delivered to you, and some legitimate messages may be identified as spam and rejected. If you consistently receive spam from a specific source, put it on your personal block list.  Likewise, if you have a specific sender or domain that you want to ensure will never be blocked, put it on your personal permit list. 

Departmental e-mail servers do not currently participate in enterprise spam scanning. Check with your department for options on their servers.
