  1. Are you feeling…

  2. Is Outlook’s Junk Email not doing enough…

  3. Then you need…

  4. Brightmail • Anti-spam e-mail filter for all Exchange/Outlook users. • It automatically identifies and filters junk mail without you having to do anything—except create a rule that tells Outlook to run the software • Messages flagged as spam by Brightmail never appear in your Inbox • Instead, these junk messages are redirected into a separate folder in your mailbox. Where you review and delete the content of this folder on a regular basis.

  5. The B-School has partnered with LS&A and the College of Engineering on this license and CS has piloted it for several months • It works incredibly well, but you will still see an occasional spam email in your inbox that you will need to delete manually. • This is normal. • During piloted use, we have not experienced a condition where Brightmail accidentally deleted a good email thinking it was spam. • It is very accurate.

  6. Remember, if you choose to use Brightmail, you can review all of the messages identified as spam in order to build confidence in the software and you can decide to opt out (turn off Brightmail) at any time

  7. Installation is very easy by creating a rule that you can import into Outlook. Please see our instructions at • http://www.bus.umich.edu/Technology/Network/SetUpEmail/BrightmailInstructions.pdf • If you have any questions, or have trouble with the instructions, please call our HelpDesk at 5-3000.
