How to know if messages sent to your Inbox have been quarantined

If you have not “opted out” of the Anti-spam quarantine system or “unsubscribed” from the daily digest, you should receive daily notifications from ITSupport@mcgill.ca containing a list of email messages that have been quarantined. You can go into the anti-spam system and take any of the following actions:

· View all blocked messages

· Choose to Deliver specific blocked messages to your Inbox

· Delete blocked messages you don’t want

· Approve senders, so that emails from them are never blocked

· Block senders, so that email from them are always blocked
