| Options for protecting distribution lists within Postini | |
| Protect Your Mailing and Distribution Lists
You can protect mailing and distribution lists from spam and viruses. These lists are addresses that deliver a message from outside your network to a group of people in your domain, such as partners@your_domain.com, or noon_cyclers@your_domain.com.
Often, when users complain about spam passing through, they are
receiving the spam through their membership in a mailing list.
To protect a mailing list from spam and viruses, alias the mailing list to an existing or new user account.
Do not add the mailing list as a user account. Under these circumstances,
the mailing list is treated as a user, and all members of the mailing

Select a date range that matches the date and time the message was sent. You can use a date range such as Today, Yesterday, Last 7 days, or Last 30 Days. The time zone for an organization is displayed adjacent to the search fields -- for example, America/New_York. This format specifies a country or world region, followed by a specific location within that region. |
