Report SPAM Delivered to Your University E-mail
University of North Carolina at Charlotte e-mail users may report spam messages that are delivered to their Outlook Inbox by forwarding the spam messages as attachments to stopspam@uncc.edu.
Users that have opted to use a different e-mail client may also participate as long as the client allows forwarding of received messages as attachments and doesn't strip the header data from the attached messages. Please refer to your e-mail client manual or Help for detailed instructions.
