Postini common tasks

Log-in to the Postini message center

  1. Go to the login page or use a custom link of https://login.postini.com/exec/login?email=<your_mailbox>  (the email address will change for each mailbox)
  2. Enter in your password if you have it or any text if you don’t. If the password is incorrect you will see a link that says Forgot Your Password? Click that and confirm by clicking the Submit button. Then check your e-mail and get the password to sign in.

Reset your password

If you forget your password, enter on letter in the password field and submit that. It will be incorrect but a link will appear that says “Forgot Your Password?”. Click on that link. After clicking on Submit to send a new password you will get a temporary password. Use that to sign on with. You will be sent to a page that will let you use that password and put in a new password. Come up with a new one and keep it.

Allow mail from a person the filter is stopping:

  1. Log in to your Postini message center.
  2. Find a message from that person and click deliver
  3. Click approve selected senders.

Manage approved / blacklisted senders and domains

Click My Settings from the menu and then click Approve Senders. Here you can add and delete specific e-mail addresses to allow. You can also allow anything from a domain or mailing list. The Block Senders option at the top will let you blacklist senders and domains if they are annoying.

Manage multiple Postini accounts from one account

You can merge your spam from all of your mailboxes into one account this way. Click My Settings from the menu and then click Add Alternate Email Addresses. Here you can add other mailboxes from your same domain so you can manage all of your mailboxes in one place.

Review blocked junk mail

You don't have to read all of the quarantine messages and may prefer to check junk mail once a week. Mail will eventually be discarded
