train email as spam

It sometimes happens that, despite the strict spam policy, a spam e-mail still slips through. For example, this may be due to a new method used to send spam that causes the systems to not yet recognize this email as spam.

You can help “train” our systems, and other anti spam systems worldwide, to start recognizing these emails as spam.

E-mail that has been quarantined can be trained as not spam “non-spam,” e-mail that has been let through can be trained as spam. There are three ways to mark an e-mail as spam or non-spam.

Report spam by forwarding email as attachment

You can send an e-mail with the spam message in question attached to spamreport@spamrl.com becomes the message (.eml, .msg or winmail.dat) . It is also possible to mark an email as non-spam by sending the message as an attachment to notspamreport@spamrl.com
