What it Does
The Barracuda Spam Filter is Concordia University's main line of defense against spam. The filter sifts through email and withdraws those that it believes are spam. Occasionally it may quarantine some emails that are not spam, so it is a wise idea to look at the Barracuda Spam Filter Report regularly and white list anything that is not spam.
Access Filter Settings
Go to http://mail.csp.edu:8000 and log in using network user name and password.

Disable Barracuda
The IT department does not recommend disabling the Barracuda spam filter, however if a user insists on having the filter disabled, their identity needs to be verified, and their username needs to be sent to Network Services.
