 In the last years the SPAM phenomenon (Unsolicited Bulk & Commercial E-mails) has grown exponentially. Today the SPAM is over the 50% of the total e-mail traffic. In order not to waste time discarding UCE and IBE e-mails, complex filters are required for the incoming e-mail traffic. **SISSA has two filters for the incoming e-mails**.
-\\
 ==== SafeMail =====
-**The first filter for the incoming e-mail is SafeMail, a commercial product of Spin** (http://www.spin.it). This software is installed on the incoming e-mail gateway server. This machine is named hermes.sissa.it that is also the Mail Exchanger (MX) for the domain sissa.it. This filter **is applied by default to all the incoming mail** for the domains sissa.it and democritos.it.

-==== Barracuda Spam Firewall ====
-**The second filter is Barracuda Spam Firewall**, a commercial appliance (special hardware with customized software), produced by [[http://www.barracudanetworks.com/|BarracudaNetworks]]. This machine operate with several anti-spam filters (DNSBL filters, euristhics filters, bayesian database, etc.).
-\\
-** At every incoming mail is assigned a spam score value**. Higher values are feature of SPAM e-mails.
-\\
-**Only the e-mails** tagged definitively as Spam (**spam score over 9 points) are blocked by the Barracuda Spam Firewall**. \\
-The others --allowed or tagged as probably spam-- are delivered to the final user.
-\\
-The score may be negative o zero when the message is classified as not-spam. Values higher than 3.5 means that the mail is probably a SPAM message. The score should be used by an automatic procedure to separate the legitimate e-mails from the SPAM. \\
