To effectively intercept your junk mail, Junk Spy works between your email program and your mail server. To make this possible, there are a few settings you will need to change in JStreet Mailer or Polarbar Mailer so that it retrieves your mail through Junk Spy. The purpose of this document is to walk you through those changes.
For purposes of this document, JStreet Mailer will refer to either JStreet Mailer or its recent successor, Polarbar Mailer.
Normally, JStreet Mailer contacts your mail server and asks it for your mail.
With Junk Spy, however, JStreet Mailer will contact Junk Spy and ask it for your mail. But Junk Spy
needs to know where to get that mail, so you will change JStreet Mailer to pass
that information along too.
There are just two basic steps to get everything running smoothly. You'll:
All of the changes you'll make to your JStreet Mailer settings relate to retrieving email. There won't be any other changes to your JStreet Mailer configuration.
Start by adding the @ character to the User Name field. Then copy the
Server information into the User Name field after the @ character.
Erase the Server field and replace it with the name
of your computer. If you don't know the name of your computer, use the
Junk Spy TCP/IP Wizard.
The dialog should now look like this:
Click OK to save your changes and close the folder.
Each piece of junk mail that Junk Spy detects is flagged with a special entry in the message header. By using your email program's filtering capability, you can control what happens to those junk messages. You might want to just delete them, for instance, or perhaps save them to a special folder.
Select the JStreet Mailer Tools menu, and then the Mail Filters menu item.
Click on the New button to create a new filter.
The dialog should now look similar to this:
Click on the OK button to save your work.
Now when JStreet Mailer retrieves mail it will first pass through Junk Spy and its junk mail detection process.
You're now ready to start Junk Spy by double clicking on the main program object in the Junk Spy folder.
Junk Spy's User's Guide is on-line, so it is just a mouse click away. It is a good reference that you should find useful. All of Junk Spy's features and options are covered in the User's Guide.
When you installed Junk Spy, it put a Junk Spy folder on your desktop. You'll find the User's Guide in it in the Documentation folder. You'll also find it's an option on Junk Spy's Help menu.
