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.
