Setting up a spam filtering rule using the Web Messaging Interface:
(Only needed if you use the Web Messaging interface to manage your email. If you download your email using Outlook or Outlook Express, we have separate walkthroughs for those.)

1) Log into your mail account.

The address will be http://mail.your-domain-name.org where 'your-domain-name' is the domain name of your church or organization's site.

The UserID is the email address you are wanting to check (i.e. 'email@your-domain-name.org')

The password is the password for your email account. It may be different than the password you use to log into your WebMedley account.
Click 'Login' to login.

2) Click on the 'Rules' button in the lower left corner of your screen.

3) Click on the 'New' button near the top of the screen.

4) ADD RULE:

1. Enter a Name for this Rule:

In the field labeled 'Rule Name', type 'Spam Rule

2. Add the Rule Conditions:

Click the 'add' button

In the 'Where:' menu, select subject

Leave 'Comparison' selected as 'Contains'
Fill in the search field with 'SPAM' (be sure to capitalize it.)
Check the 'Match Case' box
Final settings should look like this:

(NOTE: The following characters have special meaning in a rule: [] {}() | * + , . : \ If you want to use one of these characters in a search string, precede it with a backslash. For example, to search for a plus sign, enter \+ in the search string.)

Click the 'Save and Close' button

3. Set the action to take when conditions listed above are met.

Leave 'Action Type' set to 'Move to mailbox'
In the 'Target:' field type 'Bulk' (or if you'd rather have it sent to another folder you've created, type it's name in here)
Final settings should look like this

4. Click the 'Save' button near the top of the screen

And you're done. Repeat this process to add different types of rules if you wish. It can be used to organize things other than spam.
