Spam system FAQ
What is a spam report ?
In the old system spam was tagged with the subject line { *** SPAM *** }. This enabled you to set up a mail filter to redirect the mail into a junk folder.
The new system stops suspected spam or viruses before reaching your mailbox. The mail is held in quarantine and a sheduled report is sent to you. The report (as below) will detail all spam and viruses quarantined for you.
You then have the option to deliver, whitelist, or delete the quarantined spam as below.
However, you do not have the option to deliver
viruses - they can only be deleted.
Deliver this message and never quarantine any messages from this sender | |
Deliver this message but do not whitelist the sender | |

Delete all messages in the quarantine - up to report delivery time |
