ACCESS
YOUR PERSONAL MESSAGE CENTER
1.
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. Log in at http://login.postini.com/exec/login.
If your login fails, you will be provided with instructions
for how to retrieve your password.
2. In some cases, you may be supplied with only a temporary
password and will be asked to choose a personal password
after first login.
3. After you log in, you will see a new screen on the Message
Center. If suspicious messages have been quarantined they
will be displayed. You are the only one that has access
to this password-protected site.

CHECK
YOUR MESSAGE CENTER FOR QUARANTINED EMAIL
1. For any messages quarantined as junk email, you can read
the sender and subject of the suspicious messages and choose
whether you would like them removed or delivered.
2. To remove or deliver multiple messages
at one time, 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.
3. To read the body of the message, click on the subject
line. Once you read the message, you can decide whether
to remove or deliver it.
Remove: If you select remove, the message will not be delivered
to your inbox. The message is moved to the "Removed"
folder where it will expire on a periodic basis.
4. Deliver: Legitimate email should be
delivered to your inbox. After you select "Deliver"
a message, you'll be prompted whether or not you want to
"approve" the sender to your Approved Senders
list. Approving this will prevent future messages from that
address from being quarantined in your Message Center. Delivered
messages are moved to the "Delivered" folder.

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 "Junk Email
Settings". The link will display a green or red button
to show whether the service is active or inactive.
Junk Email Settings:
- On/Off
Click the "ON" image to activate the spam filters.
Your messages are not filtered until the ON button is
activated.
- Spam
Filters
The spam filters enable you to select the sensitivity
of different categories of offensive email. Select your
level of tolerance for each category. We recommend you
monitor your Message Center frequently after filters are
set in order to see what is quarantined and make any adjustments.
- Sender
Lists
Block or approve specific senders ("user@company.com")
or domains ("company.com") by entering addresses
manually. It is recommended that you add family, friends,
and associates to the Approved Sender list so messages
from these people will automatically bypass the filters.
PLEASE NOTE: most professional spammers continually change
their address to avoid such tactics. The heuristic spam
filters are effective enough to identify 95% of spam without
using the Blocked Sender list.

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.
