Setting Up Brightmail On Your Exchange Account
Brightmail is a spam filter that works
with the Business School Exchange email system. It scans all
messages coming into the Exchange email system and flags any
messages that meet its spam criteria. Outlook can then use a
Rule to identify these flagged messages so they are not delivered to
the Inbox.

How Do I
Import the Brightmail Rule?
Outlook rules are saved as .rwz files when stored on your computer.
We have created a similar rule that can be imported into your
Outlook account and placed it on the network for your use.

How Do I Create the Brightmail Rule Myself?
An Outlook Rule is simply a set of criteria for
Outlook to use to perform actions on messages.
If you would prefer to create the rule yourself,
instead of importing the Rule from the network,
just follow the Rules Wizard to enter the
criteria.

How can I set up
Brightmail with my Department mailbox?
In order to apply the
Brightmail Rule to a department mailbox, you must first set up a separate
Outlook profile for that account. Then you can open Outlook using that
profile to apply the Brightmail Rule.

Can I set up Brightmail using
Webmail?
No, the rule cannot be
created in Webmail. To create the Brightmail Rule on your
exchange account, you must first login to your account Outlook on
our network, then create the Rule using one of the methods above.
Since this rule is client-side, meaning it is stored in your account
instead of your computer, the Rule will run even if you are not
using Outlook. You can use webmail, and your messages will
still be moved to your Junk email folder.
What Is the Symantec Toolbar and why
would
I need it?
No spam filter is
perfect. Spammers are always finding new
ways to get around the filters' criteria.
The Symantec toolbar (formerly called the
Brightmail toolbar) allows you to control the
spam that slips through the filter.
Marking the message as spam from the toolbar
will move the message to your Junk email folder
and notify Brightmail so they can keep up with
the spammers.
The toolbar can be installed directly from our
network.
NOTE: If you have upgraded to Office
2007, this toolbar is automatically installed
and available in Outlook.
