ULM incorporates a spam filter on our email servers that is actively working to eliminate spam coming into campus mailboxes. Unfortunately spammers are comeing up new and effective with ways to get their messages past these filters. We try and filter all that we can but if we set the filters too strict then it will filter the email you want to get as well as the spam.

You may access your specific SPAM Quarantine area by logging into the myULM portal and finding the "SPAM Firewall" link under the Campus Systems tab.
