The heuristic filters can block
up to 95% of spam from reaching your inbox. Unwanted messages can still get through.
Follow the suggestions below to maximize your filter effectiveness:
- Increase your settings. The more aggressive the filter setting, the fewer
spam messages will reach your inbox. Please note that the more aggressive the
setting, the more often you should visit the Message Center to confirm that legitimate
messages are not quarantined. If they are, add those senders or domains to your
Approved Sender list.
- Review your Approved Senders List. Do you have other email addresses forwarding
to this account? Check to be sure your addresses are NOT on the Approved Senders
List.
- Forward your spam. Participate in keeping the filters accurate by sending
your unfiltered spam messages AS ATTACHMENTS in email to spam@postini.com. This
does not guarantee that these messages will be filtered in the future, but will
be used by engineers for filter tuning.
