The spamfiltering command has been extended. It can now be used to automatically (permanently, without backup) delete any incoming email that is flagged as 99% or 100% likely to be spam by the departmental puremessage filter. If you would like to use this please type the following on coxeter:
spamfiltering autodelete on
(Of course you can turn this off with off instead of on.)
Only use this command if you are confident that the puremessage filter is
correctly identifying spam for you. Email flagged as 99% likely to be spam
has [SPAM:#####] prepended to the Subject line (ask if you want
to find out how to determine the exact probability level for your messages).
This will result in a much smaller
SuspectedSpam file in many cases as typically over 90% of the spam
messages in SuspectedSpam files are flagged at 99%.

Please note that there is a "phishing" scam going on for UTORids regarding a UofT "portal system" upgrade. If you receive an email asking for your UTORid and password, do NOT send that information via email. The portal team would never request that you send them your utorid and password via email.
