Introduction
To help prevent unwanted or unsafe emails from reaching your inbox, the FSCJ email administrator has created policies to ensure messages containing potential junk/spam content or specific attachments aren't delivered directly to your inbox. Instead, they has implemented a system where messages that may contain spam or specific attachments are held in a quarantine area called the Hold Queue. You can view and control these messages, by using the automated digest sent to your Inbox daily Instead of being delivered directly to your inbox, these emails are reviewed through a Daily Spam Digest email sent to you at 4 p.m. daily. The email will be sent from digest allows you to review and take action on these held messages to ensure legitimate emails are not missed and spam is kept out.
