Reviewing the End-User Digest Email

 

EndUser Digest

An End User Digest is a summary email from proofpoint-digest@tufts.edu that you receive daily before 9:00 am. It contains a list of the suspected spam that has been filtered in the previous 24 hours. Opening the End User Digest displays an email listing of the suspected spam messages.

  • View opens the email from within the Proofpoint server so that it can be safely read. By reading the content, you can determine whether or not it is spam.
  • Release releases the email from the Proofpoint quarantine and delivers it to your inbox. (Note: if you have a Junk E-mail or spam filter enabled on your desktop mail client such as Outlook, the filter may also place the released email into a Junk folder. Consequently, if you do not see the released email in your inbox, check your mail client's Junk folder.)
  • Safelist releases the email into your inbox and places the sender on a safelist so that subsequent emails from the sender arrive in your inbox. A safelist is also known as an allowlist (as opposed to blocked senders).
  • Not Spam releases the email into your inbox and sends a notification indicating that the email was not spam. Future messages that are similar to that message will not be filtered out as spam.
  • Score places spam on a scale from 1 to 100; the higher the score, the higher the probability that the message is spam.
