About Barracuda Spam Monitoring
What is Barracuda SPAM Monitoring?
Barracuda is a SPAM Monitoring system that allows the user to set and configure the SPAM restrictions on their e-mail to specifications that they select.
How do I access Barracuda SPAM monitoring?
Go to spam.mail.ufl.edu and log-in with your Gatorlink username and password.
Why do I get e-mails from Barracuda?
Barracuda SPAM monitoring system runs every morning around 8am and any message the meets the requirements for SPAM is put in your quarantine folder at spam.mail.ufl.edu. You can then login to spam.mail.ufl.edu and check to see if the quarantined messages are desired e-mail or spam.
What is the difference between “White-Listing” and “Black-listing?”
“White-listing” is a user defined group of trusted recipients. When an address is added to the “White-List” they do not go through the Barracuda SPAM monitoring and are only monitored for viruses. As long as the message does not have a virus, it is then sent to your Inbox. This should only be used for trusted recipients.
"Black-Listing" is a user defined group of non-trusted recipients. When an address is added to the "Black-List", the message will not be delivered to the Barracuda, but directly to your Outlook Junk E-mail folder. Mail in your Junk E-mail folder is deleted after 14 days. THIS SHOULD BE USED ONLY FOR THOSE YOU WANT TO REMOVE COMPLETELY.
How do I check messages that have been quarantined by Barracuda
See Using Barracuda for instructions on checking on quarantined messages.
