The Proofpoint Security Gateway is the portal which allows you approve and/or block specific senders. These settings do not overwrite the overall security and malware checks conducted by Proofpoint but supplement the mail delivery process. 

There are 3 categories of email:

  • Threat emails - malware, imposter, credential grabbers, etc. which are always blocked
  • Potentially nuisance emails - Spam and bulk emails, which are stored for 30 days but not delivered to your in box (see below)
  • Non-threating emails  - which are delivered immediately to your in box

To access your quarantine email settings, release messages, etc.:

  1. Enter https://spamfilter.centre.edu into a web browser. 
  2. This will take you to our single sign on portal. Please enter your credentials and login.
  3. You will be brought to the following screen where you can manage all settings.

     4. Notice the two folders at the top left of the page under the Centre logo

    • Low Priority mail: Quarantined: The Low Priority folder is where bulk mail (newsletters, business articles) will be listed.
    • Spam – Quarantined:  The Spam folder is where your junk/spam emails will be.

              NOTE: Messages left in these folders will be automatically deleted after 30 days!
