The University's anti-spam system blocks the majority of unsolicited (spam/junk) e-mails entering the University's primary e-mail systems. Occasionally some messages will get through. You can report these unwanted e-mails by submitting them for further analysis. The messages are delivered to our anti-spam system vendor who combines this with similar information gathered from other Internet sources to produce new rules and methods of detecting unsolicited e-mail.

In order to accurately investigate and block spam, the reporting system requires that spam messages be attached to your submission, not simply forwarded.

To send a message as an attachment using Microsoft Outlook or Entourage:

1.: Create a new e-mail message, addressed to spam.report@murdoch.edu.au

2.: Drag the spam message from your inbox onto the new message.

3.: Send the new message.

When the submission has been made, a e-mail will be sent you notifying you of the submission.
