ARCHIVED: About junk email settings in Exchange at IU

When using Outlook or Outlook Web App (OWA), your Safe Senders, Safe Recipients, and Blocked Senders lists are stored on the Exchange server. When Exchange's anti-malware protection evaluates a message, it looks at your personal lists before determining a delivery location.

Outlook and OWA provide a Junk E-mail menu when you right-click a message. This menu allows you to control what senders and domains are either blocked or marked as safe.

In Cached Exchange Mode, Outlook can also perform client-side evaluations of messages that are delivered to your inbox. If you set Outlook's level of filtering to High, the client will be stricter than the Exchange server, and may generate false positives.
