How to make sure people in the district get your message.

Question:

As you know we have e-mail filtering in the district. It really cuts out a lot of the junk mail in the district (it deletes 75%-80%). It's not perfect which is why some still gets through and why some goes to the quarantine. The purpose of the quarentine is so you can mark some mail as spam and whitelist e-mail addresses. If we set the filters high enough to delete all the spam, some real mail will get deleted too, so we can't obviously can't do that.

Even if you've sent mail to someone in the district from your home account and it goes through it does not mean it will next time. The filters might change, attachments get analyzed differently (usually gets quarantined) and it still might get held. The best way is to make sure anyone that you might e-mail in the district can get your message is to make sure they have your address on their whitelist.

Barracuda only filters mail from outside the district if you are inside the district no filtering occurs. Occasionally staff sends mail from home to school that gets stopped by the filter and sometimes it gets quarantined. You can prevent this by logging into your South Redford account http://checkmail.southredford.net/ and sending the message from there (even if it's only to yourself). This will never be blocked by filtering. This is the recommended way for sending in sub plans.
