Email, Spam Control, How to report a spam or phishing email

To report a suspicious email, send the message with full headers to report-spam@illinois.edu. The best way to report messages is to create a new email and attach (drag-n-drop) the suspicious email as an attachment: Forwarding Email Messages as an Attachment

• If the email is determined to be spam, phish, viral, etc, they will generate a new spam signature and automatically update our email relays.  
• The Email Relays and Security Teams monitor the 'report-spam' queue, however,
  • There is no feedback returned about email submitted to 'report-spam' because of the high volume. 
• If there is an immediate need due to a new attack, please include security@illinois.edu and postmaster@illinois.edu in your email.   
• This will inform the teams about a new attack so they can create appropriate rules at the network firewall (security team) and email firewall (email relay team) to block inbound or outbound traffic to offending sites.
