Junk Email
Junk email is content-neutral, unsolicited bulk mailings. Most junk messages should automatically be sent to your Junk Email folder. For junk messages that are delivered to your inbox, or for messages that are incorrectly identified as junk, please see our Junk Email article to learn how to help train detection systems for future messages delivered to your W-Exchange account.
Phishing Email
Phishing is an online scam involving email that appears to be from a trusted source, such as WMU. For example, indicating that your W-Exchange account is going to expire or has run out of quota and you must click a link to rectify it. Always hover your mouse pointer over the link to see where it will really take you. If it does not match the text of the link do not click it. You may compromise not only your computer, but the WMU network, and your own personal data. You may simply delete the message, or, if it appears to be from WMU, forward it, as an attachment, to abuse@wmich.edu. See also forwarding suspect messages and phishing.
Abuse Email
Abuse email relates to inappropriate behavior, such as stalking and/or harassment type messages. If you receive one of these messages, forward it, as an attachment, to abuse@wmich.edu. For information on forwarding a message as an attachment, please see forwarding suspect messages.
Questions should be directed to the Help Desk, (269) 387-4357, or helpdesk@wmich.edu.
