How do I use list management?

  1. To manage whitelists and blacklists click the Spam Management link in the menu.
  2. Here, you can select a spam list to view or edit.
  3. From Whitelist– When an incoming email matches your whitelist, the message will always be delivered to your mailbox. A whitelist match always takes precedence over other email rules.

4. From Blacklist– When an incoming email is FROM an email address on your from blacklist, then it will not be delivered to your inbox, instead it will be trapped in your spam quarantine.  There is no reason to blacklist email addresses that are already getting caught in your quarantine.

5. To add an email address to the From Blacklist you can copy and paste it from an email in your inbox into the Enter a new value: field and then click the Add button.

6. Subject Blacklist – The subject blacklist works just like the from blacklist, except that it looks at the SUBJECT of an incoming email instead of the FROM email address.

7. A window will pop-up where you can view, edit, or modify your whitelist and blacklists. Please read the instructions in the pop-up window for creating or editing blacklists and whitelists.

How long are spam messages stored on the email server?

Any messages trapped in the Quarantined Mail folder will automatically be deleted after 15 days.

Hello Sir/Madam,

I only got your contact details from the South Africa Exchange Information On-line

Service on my personal programmed search on the internet for a reputable company or

individual to assist me sincerely & confidential which your information & profiles

were very satisfactory, so I decided to contact you immediately. It is my great

pleasure to write you this letter. Within the Eskom Holdings Limited where I work as

a Director of Audit and Project Implementation, I have in my possession an overdue

payment in US funds.

The said funds represent certain percentage of the total contract value executed on

behalf of my Department by a foreign contracting firm, which, I the official

over-invoiced to the amount of US$20,000,000.00 (Twenty Million United States

Dollar). Though the actual contract cost has been paid to the original contractor

leaving the excess balance unclaimed. Since the present elected Government is

determined to pay foreign contractors all debts owed, so as to maintain good

relationship with foreign governments and non-government agencies, I included the,

bills for approvals with the Department of Finance and the South Africa Reserve Bank

(SARB).

I am seeking your assistance to front as beneficiary of the unclaimed funds, since I

am not allowed to operate foreign accounts, Details and change of beneficiary

information upon application for claim to reflect payment and approvals will be

secured on behalf of you/your Company. I have to propose that should you be willing

to assist me in this transaction your share as compensation will be (25%), and the

balance of (75%) will be for me. The business is completely safe and secure,

provided you treat it with Utmost confidentiality. It does not matter whether

you/your Company does contract projects, as a transfer of powers will be secured in

favor of you/your Company. Also, your area of specialization is not a hindrance to

the successful execution of this transaction.

I have reposed my confidence in you and hope that you will not disappoint me.

For more informations kindly direct email reply to me immediately.

Thanks for your co-operation.

Kindest Regards,

Mr. John J. Adams
