Creating an E-Mail Filter in Macintosh Mail

IMPORTANT NOTE: The only situation where filtering would be applicable with Barracuda is if you have your options for Quarantine turned to off (No) and Spam Filtering turned to on (Yes)

1. Open Mail.
2. You may create custom filters. To do this, by selecting Preferences under the Mail menu and then clicking on the Rules button located on the upper toolbar.
   
   
   
   
3. To add a new rule, click on the Add Rule button.
   
   
4. When the Rules window appears, type in a name for your filter where it says Description.
5. Choose Subject and Contains from the dropdown boxes.
6. Type in [SPAM] (exactly like shown) in the text box to the right of contains.
7. Click the plus button to add another condition.
   
   
8. Choose Subject and Contains from the dropdown boxes.
9. Type in [QUAR] (exactly like shown) in the text box to the right of contains.
10. Choose a desired action you wish to be taken for your filtered messages where it says Perform the following actions. Choose Move Message then choose the email folder you want the messages moved to in the to mailbox dropdown box.
    
    
11. When finished, select OK.
12. Close out of the Rules window.

NOTE: Mac Mail also has a junk mail filtering option. We recommend turning this feature OFF as it could interfere with your other rules.

1. Turn this off by selecting Preferences under the Mail menu and then clicking on the Junk Mail option
   
   
2. Make sure the Enable Junk Mail filtering is NOT checked
