Personal Portal for email security

ISTS is giving UniSA Staff and Students greater control on who can send them emails and how to manage spam. This can all be done through your Mimecast Personal Portal, which will enable you to release or drop messages that may have been put on hold due to suspected spam, permit senders or block them.

Log into Personal Portal

    NOTE: You will notice that the Login page bounces back to Mimecast, that’s ok it will only take a moment and then log you in automatically.

How do I view bounced and rejected messages?

You can view Bounced and Rejected Messages at any time using the Personal Portal. 

After logging into the Mimecast Personal Portal click on Rejected Messages or Bounced Messages from the left hand menu.

These are messages have been sent to your email address that has been rejected or bounced because of the content or problems with the sending email servers. These generally applies to inbound emails.  

The rejection or bounce viewer can be used to display information about why it was rejected it. If the message was legitimate, you can use this information to address the cause of the rejection or bounce.

  4. Enter desired email address or entire domain. Example:
