Reporting spam

I get a few emails (?from Postini) saying that a message has been quarantined. From the senders' addresses they are obviously spam. How do I report this without going to the actual message - obviously undesirable?

Re: Reporting spam

I think those messages are quite genuine, not spam. They should not be reported as spam.
I assume you have Plusnet Anti Virus Filtering turned on; the messages will be from Plusnet, not Postini, to tell you that a message containing a virus has been quarantined. Plusnet send that advice message because users need to know what has happened in case the message was expected but not received.
If it is essential that the message is received users have the option to release the email from quarantine and deal with the virus themselves.
