Spam This help topic describes how to set up your Email to use our new SpamControl feature. The program uses a unique spam filtering approach which yields a high spam recognition rate while allowing you to create a permitted list (emails that otherwise would be marked as spam) over a web interface. You can change your spam filter settings at anytime by logging in with your user name and password for your email account at https://secure.bardstowncable.net/spamcontrols After you have logged on at the above link, you need to choose the level of filtering that you want. Do this by clicking in the SpamLevel dropdown box and selecting the degree of filtering you prefer. There are 5 levels to choose from: Very High, High, Medium, Low, and None. If you choose one of the higher settings, be sure to occasionally check your spam folder in case a message that you want to keep has been filtered. You can also create a whitelist of Email addresses. Addresses on this whitelist will go to your Inbox normally and will not be marked as spam. To add an address to the whitelist, click the Whitelist button and click create. Once you logon and set the degree or level of filtering, SpamControl will save you time by specifically tagging all email messages ranked to be a spam. By creating a message rule in your email client, tagged emails can be automatically moved to a "delete" or "junk" folder. See below on how to create Message rules in your email client. Please, if you don't know your email password come in to City Hall or call 348-5947 to get your email password. We do not send password via email for security purposes.
