Spam Blocker
 

Spam is unwanted e-mail. It is usually an unsolicited commercial e-mail sent to a large number of addresses.
A Spam blocker helps to eliminate some of this unwanted email. It is not a guarantee that all unwanted e-mail will be eliminated, but it helps to keep your inbox clean.
Spam software can either allow the incoming email to be delivered or it can quarantine the email or block it entirely.

Spam Quarantine Summary Email

When a spam e-mail message is delivered to your Carlow Lotus e-mail account, it will be quarantined.
You will receive a Spam Quarantine Summary e-mail message with information about the quarantined mail.
You will also receive an e-mail from the IT department with your User Quarantine Account Information, which includes your username and password to access your Spam Quarantine Summary. Please make sure to keep this information.

It is very important for you to review the Spam Quarantine Summary at least once a week and take one of the following actions: Deliver, Whitelist or Delete.
If you do not choose to Deliver, Whitelist or Delete the message, the messages will remain in your quarantine box.

1). Click on the Deliver link to have the message delivered to your mailbox.

2). Click on the Whitelist link to have the message delivered to your mailbox and whitelist the sender so that his/her messages will no longer be quarantined for all future e-mails received from that address.

3). Click on the Delete link to have the message deleted from your quarantine.
