I just got a spam summary from my university email account, and i saw feinberg in there. I went to check my supp app and the due date was 8/5!!! I just called their adcom and they seem to be pretyt nice about it, hopefully they'll extend my deadline. Sucks!! That was one of my top out of state school!!

or keep them on if you happened to be on that huuuuge mass email list mount sinai sent out so now you get tons of spam from people's computer viruses, screwed up email addresses, etc...
just be wary of always checking your spam mailbox, just in case

good luck to you, i hope they gave you an extension on the deadline!

The "filters" are on the exchange servers at universities....you cannot turn them off like you can with Yahoo.

We implemented a spam ?filter? here at the office?.it filtered out all Yahoo, MSN, and any attachments?.the spam still got through?..**shakes fist in air** ?Damn you Bill Gates?..?

Woohoo, Northwestern just extended my deadline....too next Wednesday. They're strict with the deadlines. Oh well, at least I get to submit a secondary now.

Would a firewall prevent any emails from coming in as well? (such as Windows XP professional's default firewall)

Thanks!

Don't think so TXGuy. The spam filters are done by the email servers, not by your computer. Dunno if it affects it though if you use outlook or something.

 

[txguy]

That makes sense, email would probably be blocked at the server level......

But I do use outlook for my hotmail..........so do you think it could? What did you mean by that?

Not outlook but it may block the IP for Yahoo, MSN, Hotmail...such as that . If you are using one of these then you could experience issues but you wouldn't be able to access the site either.

Do you have a POP3 client enabled email account from Hotmail or Yahoo? This is an online email that will forward/send it to/from an email application such as Eudora or Outlook....
