FAQ: Reporting spam and false positives to Trustwave

This article applies to:

There are a number of ways to report spam and false positives in SEG Cloud:

False positives are valid messages that were quarantined as spam.

(Preferred) In Customer Console > Mail History, search for the email in question and open it in Message Viewer. Use the "Not Spam" button to report false positives.
Alternatively, send the email to NotSpam@trustwave.com. Make sure the header info stays intact. This is best done by sending the email in question as an attachment of a new email.
- Do not use "Forward" to send the email.

Organizations that use Office 365 can easily deploy the Trustwave Spam Reporter Outlook plug-in for users. This plug-in allows users to report missed spam with one click. For details, see article Q21067.
Another option is to send the email to Spam@trustwave.com. Make sure the header info stays intact. This is best done by sending the email in question as an attachment of a new email.
- Do not use "Forward" to send the email.

Blended Threats protection is an additional option available in SEG Cloud.

You can report false positives from the Blended Threat (BTM) Link Validator, or threat URLs that you think should be blocked by BTM.
