Spam filtering
This is a system that automatically inspects email messages sent from non-RIKEN networks to Postman, and automatically inserts characters “(SPAM)” into the subject field of the message when the system determines that the messages have enough characteristics to be a spam email.
Users can filter spam emails by configuring email software to filter out messages with characters “(SPAM)” inserted. → About Postman’s SPAM filtering
