How do I release an email from the KCOM spam filter?

As part of providing email addresses to all of our customers, we also use a spam filter that helps to block spam emails from coming through to your inbox. This is known as the KCOM spam filter.

Rarely, you may notice that an email you need hasn't come through as it's been captured by our spam filter. To get this email back, you can log into the spam filter.

If an email has been marked as spam and placed in the spam filter incorrectly, you can transfer these emails to your inbox following the instructions below. You can also report this by emailing ham@access.ironport.com to investigate why the email was marked as spam incorrectly.

Accessing your KCOM spam filter

To access the KCOM spam filter, go to sq.kc.co.uk
