WWW content filtering -
REMC1 uses a system called Fortigate from Fortiguard for filtering web
pages. There are 54 categories that Fortigate uses for filtering you can
browse these categories by clicking here. If you would like to know what category a individual site is listed under click here. If you have questions about what categories are being filtered you can contact
REMC1. If you would like a site unblocked or a override created you
should contact your or districts administration for approval.
If you want a website to be re-classified (takes 24hrs) you can submit the website here. Remember it can take up to 24hrs for re-classification.
For a complete HOWTO on Webfiltering and Overriding websites please see the REMC1 wiki page here.
All website access is logged. All user overrides are fully tracked by user id and IP address.
Email SPAM filtering -
REMC1
is now using a SPAM filtering tool to help stem the amount of
SPAM users receive. The tool is called Mail Foundry. You may get a daily email of quarentined messages from the Mail Foundry, showing what messages have been blocked as SPAM or virus traffic. This guarentees that you never lose a message, as you can view or release any SPAM message that was blocked accidentaly. You can also report it as 'not SPAM', to help the filter work better in the future. If you do get SPAM that was not blocked, you can forward it to spam@mailfoundry.com.
