Symantec Brightmail AntiSpam Overview
The Symantec Plug-in for Outlook
makes it easy for Outlook users to submit missed spam
and false positives to Symantec. Depending on how you configure the plug-in, user
submissions can also be sent automatically to a local system administrator. The Symantec
Plug-in for Outlook also gives users the option to administer their own allowed senders
and blocked senders lists.
Refer to
“Plug-Ins and Foldering,” on page 87
for more information about spam foldering
options and submissions.
