Are you getting UCE or Unsolicited Commercial Email, better known as SPAM? Well, if you are a KPU customer with a .KPUNET.NET email account, then maybe I can help you filter some of that out. Here's what you do:

Go to http://www.kpunet.net/mail

In the NAME field, type in your Kpunet.net username example: Fluffy
In the PASSWORD field, type in your email password example: Rabbit
Then enter the information by clicking on the LOGIN button

This will take you to your internet email that you can access from any computer anywhere in the world!
Now at the top of the window look for SpamFilter
Click on that link and your may see general opinions
(Note that if you have not set your SPAM FILTER you will be asked to start it, click yes)
Now we are on the same page
We are going to change the Required Hits from 5.0 to 3.15 in the box on the right
Leave everything the same and change the last column to "delete spam"

Save changes and you should block most of those unwanted emails.

Now go to your inbox by clicking on INBOX
Don't just delete those unwanted emails just yet
Click on the blue underline link of the undesired email
At the top of the page you will see options: white list and blacklist
If you want to block the sender only then blacklist sender
If you want to block all email from the domain example: @viaraga.com then select blacklist domain or select both sender and domain.
This should stop this SPAMMER from sending another to your email.
Note* if you block domain @kpunet.net in any of these fields, all email from kpunet.net will be blocked.

About the SPAM Terrorist that is using KPUNET as his target domain, rest assure I and your friends at KPU Telephone are hunting this person down like a dog and plan to get real ugly on the person or person that are menacing our valued subscribers!
