Information Services and TechnologyOutlook 2003 PDF Spam Removal
NJIT, like much of the world, has recently been victim of a new type of spam in the form of e-mails with small PDF attachments. The step-by-step process outlined below details a method by which to help combat this new type of spam. Messages which are determined to be spam will be moved into your Junk E-mail folder within Outlook. This method is not foolproof however, and some spam may get through. More importantly, it is possible that some "real" e-mail will be caught and moved to the Junk E-mail folder. Please check your Junk E-mail folder frequently to see if any "real" e-mail has been caught.
