Spam Filtering
CalWeb employs a Spam filtering system called Spam Assassin which marks suspected Spam messages with the word *****SPAM***** in the subject line. This version of Eudora, however, lacks filtering features, so all messages marked as spam will stay in the Inbox.TOP
File Attachments
To send a file attachment
While composing the message, click on Message and select Attach File. A dialogue box will come up allowing you to choose the file to send with the message. Select the files, then click Attach.

NOTE: Consider the end user. Large attachments take a long time to both upload and download. Attachments larger than 3MB may be rejected by the mail server.

To open a file attachment
When file attachments are received, they are automatically downloaded to the attachments directory. You can find the location of the attachments directory by clicking on Tools and selecting Options. Click on the Attachments button. There is a button that allows you to specify the directory where the attachments are saved. (By default, it is in C:/Eudora/Attach). Click OK.

WARNING! Many computer viruses can be transmitted through file attachments. Before opening a file attachment, be sure you know who is sending you the attachment and if you were expecting the attachment. It is recommended that you have a virus-scanning program installed and the latest anti-virus definitions installed. CalWeb is not responsible for any damage to your computer if you open an virus-infected file.TOP

These headers contain the complete path that the message took through the Internet rather than just the From, To, Subject, and Date that you see as part of the message. To send us the complete message headers, just forward the message, and all of the headers will be included.TOP
