  3. View Messages

    The right column (area 1 in figure 3) shows all the user's mail that was either rejected or quarantined by the email system. It lists certain data about each message; including the time sent, the sender, the filter type used to analyze the message, and the specific filter method.

    The data can be used, on the rare chance of a "false positive", to help the sender send future messages that will not appear to be spam.
