Changes to our Email for Life Spam Settings
Last Updated: 19-Oct-2021 02:39
From Monday 1st November, we will be making some changes to our spam settings within our Email for Life service. The default spam policies will be updated so that they no longer automatically discard certain messages that previously would have been. These messages will now appear in your Junk folder.
This change will affect all users using the light, normal, high or strict filtering policy. It will not apply if your webmail filtering policy is already set to custom.
