spam

If you’ve received it, you don’t want it, you don’t understand who it’s from or what it’s about, just press Delete. Or, if you want to recognise, report or block some of the offensive, fraudulent or just plain annoying email that occasionally gets through GreenNet’s anti-spam systems, here is a rundown of the main types.

E-mail spam, also called junk email or unsolicited bulk email (UBE), is now an unfortunate fact of life for most internet users. GreenNet does more than most to remove spam. What can you do to reduce your chance of getting spam, or to deal with it if you do?

Since April 2004, GreenNet has been using an innovative and effective method of improving the mail system’s ability to limit the amount of spam that is delivered to your mailbox. It works by identifying spam according to technical, rather than language-based criteria.

You are neither permitted nor authorised to send unsolicited bulk email to, through or from any GreenNet server.
