Email Spam and Virus Blocking
This service for RCNet subscribers effectively deals with the ever-increasing
spam that clogs all of our inboxes, and also protects you from viruses spread via email
that could damage your computer or your information. We block the spam and viruses
before they ever hit your mailbox, always using the latest antivirus definitions.
You also have total control over the spam blocking settings, so you can decide
just what is right for you.
How Much Spam Will be Blocked?
Even at the default settings, over 80% of all spam will be stopped from
ever making it to your mailbox. Yay! You can adjust the settings in
each of 5 email categories to filter out even a higher percentage:
- Pornography, Sexually Explicit Email
- Bulk Email
- Get Rich Quick Offers
- Special Offers
- Racially Insensitive
You Get to Choose Several Spam Blocking
Options
You can adjust your blocking settings at any time at Postini to:
- look at the emails that were blocked if you wish to
- retrieve any blocked emails if you wish to
- create lists of email senders that are never blocked
- create lists of email senders that are always blocked
- set many other blocking options
How Effective is the Email Virus
Blocking?
Email is the primary way that viruses are spread today!
The virus definitions that we use are always the very latest up-to-date available, with realtime updating to the McAfee Antivirus site. You are as protected as possible from any email viruses. Additionally, you can see who sent you an email virus and notify them if you wish to.
Our email antivirus protection does NOT protect you from viruses that can come to your computer from other sources, such as:
- downloading files or games or software from websites
- viruses disguised as music files from music sharing services
- floppy disks or other media you insert into your computer
