These instructions assume that you have Cruzio Web and Domain hosting. If you purchased your Web and Domain account before July 2006, you have Cruzio Classic hosting, which do not filter junk mail in this way.

Spam filtering is automatically enabled for every mailbox, and when a message is marked as spam by the software, the subject line will include the text ***SPAM***. Follow these simple rules to route these messages to a junk folder and keep them out of your inbox.
