Spectranet has begun labelling messages that appear to be junk mail as "Possible SPAM". Below are instructions on how to automatically filter these messages into a folder for storing junk mail. This system is effective and highly accurate. However, it is strongly recommended you investigate these messages before you delete them so you do not risk deleting real mail!
