Helpful information
If you receive a message that is spam and our servers did not pick it as spam, you can forward that
message to [email protected] and our servers will adjust the rules to block future
similar messages.
If you receive a message that has been tagged as spam incorrectly, forward the email to
[email protected] and the rules will automatically be adjusted.
If you send a message to an address, that address will be 'white-listed' and will not be
checked for spam content.
