Working with Spam Protection Daily Report and Proofpoint Settings

Actions You Can Take With Quarantined Email

Click on an action to remove the email from the spam quarantine. If you do nothing, the email will be deleted after 30 days.

What does each action mean?

  • Release: allows this one specific message to go to your inbox.
  • Release and Allow Sender: allows this one specific message to go to your inbox and adds the user to your "safe sender" list so you will receive all future emails from the sender.
  • Not Spam: allows this one specific message to go to your inbox and teaches Proofpoint to allow emails with similar content to reach your inbox (e.g. if you are on a email newsletter list and you mark one email newsletter as Not Spam, Proofpoint should allow all future editions of that email newsletter even if the newsletter is sent from different email addresses).

Requesting a New Spam Protection Daily Report

Click Request New Spam Protection Daily Report to receive an updated email from Proofpoint with all of the emails that are currently in your spam quarantine folder.

This may be useful if you have just released a message or if you simply want an updated list of the emails in quarantine.

Requesting Safe/Blocked Senders List

Click Request Safe/Blocked Senders List to receive an email with a list of all of the email addresses that you have added as a "safe sender" or a "blocked sender."

This allows you to review the email addresses that you have added as safe and blocked and make any changes as needed.

  • You will only see email addresses that you have added as safe or blocked using Proofpoint; for example you will not see any emails that you have marked as "junk" in Microsoft Outlook or Gmail.
