PSC has partnered with Postini to provide you the latest tools to help prevent junk e-mail and viruses from reaching your computer. PSC is providing this service free as part of our commitment to provide you the best Internet service available. The Postini services are private and secure. The junk e-mail and virus checker is an automated process. No one has access to your e-mail except you. Nobody will read your e-mail. Your e-mail is not censored, YOU control the filter settings. Here is a brief overview of the Postini service:
- Your e-mail passes through Postini's automated filters that detect suspected junk e-mail and viruses.
Note: It is still necessary to have a Virus Protection Program such as Norton or McAfee installed on your machine. Suspicious e-mail is directed to your personal, web-based, password-protected Message Center (it does not arrive at your computer's in box). Think of this as a quarantine area. In your Message Center you can read the quarantined e-mail online, delete it, or deliver (forward) it to your inbox. Initially you should visit your Message Center often because Postini "remembers and learns" from your interaction. As time goes on you will be able to rely on Postini's periodic notifications of your Message Center activity. Postini lets you "block" senders; meaning e-mail from them will always be filtered. Or you can "approve" senders; meaning their e-mail will always be delivered.
- This service is completely controlled by you.
Your activation notification e-mail contained explicit instructions on how to access your Message Center and how to get the most out of your junk e-mail and virus protection. To learn more, we encourage you to visit the Postini User Instructions page:
