Using Junk Email Filtering
and Virus Protection
HOW TO USE JUNK MAIL FILTERING AND ANTI-VIRUS PROTECTION
SERVICES
ACCESS YOUR PERSONAL MESSAGE
CENTER

- You will receive an activation notice that contains password
instructions for accessing your Message Center with a link to the
login page. To log in, enter your email address and your password.
You can log in from the A5 Postini Page. If your login
fails, you will be provided with instructions for how to retrieve
your password.
- In some cases, you may be supplied with only a temporary
password and will be asked to choose a personal password after
first login.
- After you log in you will arrive at your Message Center where
you can see if suspicious messages have been quarantined. You are
the only one that has access to this password-protected site.
CHECK YOUR MESSAGE CENTER FOR QUARANTINED
EMAIL

For any messages quarantined as junk email, you can:
- Read the sender and subject of the suspicious messages, and
select messages to DELETE or DELIVER. To delete or deliver
messages "in bulk", select any messages using the checkbox next to
each message or use the one checkbox in the header to
select/unselect them all at once.
- Read the body of the message by clicking on the subject line.
You can then delete or deliver after you determine if the email is
junk or legitimate:
Delete: Deleting the message will keep it from reaching
your in box. The message is moved to the Trash where it will
expire after 14 days from when it first arrived in your Message
Center.
Deliver: Legitimate email should be delivered to your in
box. After you deliver a message, you'll receive a message asking
whether to "approve" the sender(s) to your Approved Senders list -
approving this will prevent future messages from that address from
being quarantined in your Message Center. NOTE: Delivered messages
are also moved to the Trash once they are forwarded to your inbox.

CONFIGURE YOUR SETTINGS
You can
adjust your settings at any time to better suit your personal
preferences.
At the top of your Message Center, click the link for the service
you wish to configure. The link will display a green or red button
to show whether the service is active or inactive, respectively.
Junk Email
Click the "Junk Email" link; if
necessary, click the ON button to activate basic filtering.
You can additionally customize personal settings by clicking
the following titles:
- Filter Categories
Filter out potentially offensive
email topics like "Get Rich Quick"; "Sexually Explicit";
"Racially Insensitive"; and "Special Offers". This setting
heightens the sensitivity towards these specific categories.
- Filter Sensitivity
Junk Email filters are pre-set
to Lenient, Moderate, or Aggressive by your email provider. We
recommend you monitor how much legitimate email is quarantined
and adjust your filter sensitivity accordingly to your comfort
level, especially after you have "Approved" any critical senders
beforehand.
- Blocked and Approved Senders
You can block or
approve specific senders ("user@company.com") or domains
("company.com") by entering addresses manually. (NOTE: most
professional spammers change their addresses often, making it
difficult to block a specific junk email sender with this
setting)

Virus Protection
All of your messages are scanned for
viruses. If a virus is detected, it is quarantined in your Message
Center and you will be sent an email notification. You can turn
virus protection ON or OFF. Postini recommends having virus
protection always turned on for safety.

MONITOR YOUR MESSAGE
CENTER
Initially we suggest you monitor your Message
Center often. The junk email filters "remember and learn" from your
interaction, and become more accurate with time. You can approve or
block senders and adjust the filter tolerances to make the service
more effective.
NOTIFICATIONS OF QUARANTINED
EMAIL
You will receive a periodic notice of all junk mail
held in your Message Center. You can visit your Message Center to
review them, or take no action and the quarantined messages will be
automatically deleted after 14 days.
