Bowdoin’s spam filters scan all incoming emails and move items that appear to be junk mail to your Junk folder. Other spam or phishing attacks may stay in quarantine or never reach our mail servers. You can configure the spam filters to always deliver or always move emails from a specific address or domain to your Junk folder.
Setting the Junk Email Filter:
To Always Deliver Specific Emails to Your Inbox:
- Navigate to outlook.office.com and log in with your Bowdoin username and password.
- In the top right corner, click the gear icon (Settings).
- In the search box, type "Blocked senders and domains" and click on the result.
- Under Safe Senders and Domains, click +Add and enter the email address that should always be delivered to your inbox, then press Enter. Click Save in the lower right.
To Always Block Specific Emails from Your Inbox:
- Navigate to outlook.office.com and log in with your Bowdoin username and password.
- In the top right corner, click the gear icon (Settings).
- In the search box, type "Blocked senders and domains" and click on the result.
- Under Blocked Senders and Domains, click +Add to add an email address you prefer to always go to your junk folder.
To Edit or update the Blocked or Safe list you have created you can click on the pencil icon to change the address or the delete icon to remove the address from the list.
Note: If you want all emails from an organization to be blocked by the spam filter, add the domain instead of a specific email address. For example, to block all emails from anyone at Globex, add globex.com to the list of blocked senders instead of mary_johnson@globex.com.
