UF Exchange
Using Barracuda
Barracuda is a SPAM Monitoring system that scores incoming mail and either delivers the mail to your Inbox, Junk mail folder, quarantines the mail at spam.mail.ufl.edu, or blocks the flagged email altogether. The default system settings deliver most mail to the Inbox or quarantine and block only the highest probability spam.
Every morning, around 8am, a Barracuda spam notification email is sent to your Inbox if you have possible spam that is quarantined at spam.mail.ufl.edu. You may click in the notification message or point your browser to the Barracuda web site to check the quarantined email and specify delivery or deletion.

Quarantine Inbox
The first thing you will see is your Quarantine Inbox where all messages that have been quarantined (kept separate from your inbox) are kept.
Here you will be able to select messages (check box to the left of the message) and then select one of the options below.
Deliver- This simply delivers the mail to your Inbox.
Whitelist- This delivers the mail and adds the sender address to your specific whitelist so that mail from this address will always be delivered.
Whitelist/Not Spam- This delivers the mail, adds the sender address to your specific whitelist, and trains the Bayesian filter so that it “learns” your classification of spam and not spam..
Delete- This simply deletes the selected email.
Classify as Spam - This deletes the mail and trains the Bayesian filter so that it “learns” your classification of spam and not spam.
Classify as Not Spam- This delivers the mail and trains the Bayesian filter so that it “learns” your classification of spam and not spam.
