The Technology Department has bought a product called Puremessage. It is designed to capture unwanted email, also known as spam. It identifies the email based on criteria and if it meets the criteria Puremessage will hold it in its quarantine. Every day at 11:00 AM you will get a report about email that is in the quarantine. If you don’t want any of the messages that are listed, you do not need to do anything. If you want a message, reply to the message and delete the lines that you don’t want. Each line in the email represents an email that is in the quarantine. From the time the message is received you have 30 days to retrieve the message. Below is a sample quarantine report.

This solution is not 100% perfect and we need your help to make it better. After today, if spam email slips through, you should save it as an attachment and send it to: is-spam@pvusd.net. If a legitimate email gets trapped in the quarantine, save it as an attachment and send it to not-spam@pvusd.net. To forward the mail as an attachment, do the following:
MS Outlook (You are most likely running this one):
1. Create a new message.
2. Select and drag and drop the spam message to the "new message" window. The spam message will be added as an attachment to the new message.
MS Outlook Express:
1. Select the message.
2. Select Message | Forward As Attachment, or right-click and select Forward As Attachment from the context menu.
Netscape6/Mozilla
1. Select the message.
2. Right-click and select Forward from the context menu. Select Message | Forward As | Attachment from the sub-menu.
Forwarding the attachment allows us to view the complete header information.
