ValleyNet has partnered with Postini.com to provide you the latest tools to prevent viruses and junk email from reaching your computer. ValleyNet is providing this service free as part of our commitment to bring you the best Internet service available.

When the service begins you will receive an activation notification from Postini.

The Message Center services are private and secure. The junk email and virus protection is an automated process. Nobody has access to your email except you. Nobody will read your email. Your email is not censored, YOU control the filter settings.

Here is a brief overview of the Message Center service:

• Your email passes through Postini's automated filters that detect suspected junk email and viruses.
  
  
• Suspicious email is directed to your personal, web-based, password-protected Message Center (it does not arrive at your computer's in box). Think of this as a quarantine area. In your Message Center you can read the quarantined email online, delete it, or deliver (forward) it to your in box.
  
  
• Initially you should visit your Message Center often because it will "remember and learn" from your interaction. As time goes on you will be able to rely on the periodic notifications of your Message Center activity.
  
  
• The Message Center lets you "block" senders; meaning email from them will always be filtered. Or you can "approve" senders; meaning their email will always be delivered.
  
  
• This service is completely controlled by you.

When your service is activated you will be sent step-by-step instructions on how to access your Message Center and how to get the most out of your junk email and virus protection.

We encourage you to visit the E-mail Filtering User Instructions page.

If you have any questions please review the Frequent Questions about Email Filtering page.
